Indiana basketball’s season is over, source says, just missing March Madness, skipping others
BLOOMINGTON — After missing out on the NCAA Tournament for a third straight year, a source confirmed to IndyStar on Sunday that Indiana basketball does not intend to participate in any secondary postseason competition.
Darian DeVries’ first season at IU is officially concluded.
The Hoosiers retained a slim hope of reaching the back end of the field, thanks to relatively strong predictive metrics and a clutch of quality wins (Purdue, at UCLA, Wisconsin). But a 1-6 slide to end the season — including five losses by at least 13 points — did too much damage to an already thin tournament resume, leaving DeVries’ team on the outside looking in.
Sunday’s bracket reveal showed Indiana as the fourth team out of the field, reflecting just how far off the bubble the Hoosiers had fallen.
Their performance this winter would still likely have landed them a place in a lesser postseason event, like the NIT or the eight-team, Fox-backed College Basketball Crown, hosted in Las Vegas.
But with half his roster gone to eligibility exhaustion following this season, never mind potential further attrition, DeVries and his staff have a significant rebuilding job to execute in the coming weeks. Alongside Ryan Carr, IU’s new executive director of basketball, DeVries can now turn immediately to that challenge, in an effort to ensure his Hoosiers are not in the same position a year from now.
IU last participated in the NCAA Tournament in 2023. The Hoosiers have not played past the first weekend in a decade.

NORTHEAST INDIANA (WANE) – A storm system passed through northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio on Monday evening, leaving a substantial amount of damage in its wake.
Monday night’s storm warranted thunderstorm warnings throughout the viewing area, including Steuben, DeKalb, and Allen counties in Indiana, along with Defiance, Paulding, and Van Wert counties in Ohio.
The storm itself lasted about an hour, but caused chaos by downing unstable trees and signage from strong winds.
Thousands reported power outages across the Fort Wayne area, with a handful of outages in Ohio’s northwest region.
Viewers from across the WANE 15 viewing area shared photos documenting the storm as it blew through, with additional weather phenomena:
BLOOMINGTON — Darian DeVries’ backcourt rebuild got a boost Monday, with the news that Georgia Tech guard Jaeden Mustaf intends to transfer to Indiana.
“ALL IN,” Mustaf posted on social media announcing his decision.
Mustaf, a Maryland native who was once a target for Mike Woodson and Indiana’s previous staff, averaged 10.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game across 29 appearances for Georgia Tech last season. The 6-foot-6 guard is also a career 37.2% 3-point shooter, though not at significant volume.
Importantly, Mustaf is a big-bodied guard who rebounds his position well and draws fouls at an above-average clip. Last season in Atlanta, he had 4.2 fouls drawn per 40 minutes, and 4.4 in ACC play, a top-25 number in the conference. He also finished his sophomore season scoring the ball well — Mustaf averaged 14 points per game in the Yellow Jackets’ last nine, and 16.3 per game in their last six.
His arrival strengthens a guard rotation that will need remade essentially from the ground up this spring. The Hoosiers’ only returners don’t play the position, and DeVries signed just one out-and-out guard, Prince-Alexander Moody, in the 2026 class.
Mustaf’s commitment hands the Hoosiers a strong, capable guard with high-major experience and multiple years of eligibility remaining around which DeVries and his staff can build.
Mustaf was at one time a target for Woodson, coming out of high school. Mustaf played with Overtime Elite before making the move to college.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A $4 million transformation is in the works for New Hope of Indiana, the largest nonprofit residential services provider for individuals with disabilities in Marion County.
New Hope says the ‘Imagine More’ capital campaign will fund key improvements to New Hope’s 14-acre campus at 8450 Payne Road. It’ll include a new community and multi-purpose space, expanded and inclusive outdoor areas, a commercial kitchen for life-skills and employment training, and renovations to improve accessibility, safety, and overall experience.
New Hope has already raised $3.35 million toward its gold, including a $1.5 million matching gift from United Way of Central Indiana. During their campaign’s launch Monday, New Hope says they plan to raise the remaining $650,000 to complete the campaign, the largest in its history.
“As we celebrate 48 years of service, this campaign represents an important step forward for New Hope and the people we serve,” Allison Wharry, president and CEO of New Hope of Indiana said in a release.
“Imagine More is rooted in listening to the individuals and families in our community, and creating spaces that support dignity, independence, and a strong sense of belonging. We are grateful for the momentum that has brought us this far and excited to invite the community to help us finish,” Wharry said.
