Indiana Reacts Results: Fans want North Carolina, Kentucky on men’s basketball schedule
Indiana men’s basketball’s non-conference schedule is official. The Hoosiers will take on the likes of Marquette, Kansas State, Louisville and Kentucky in between a slew of buy games:
It’s not exactly the beefiest schedule, but it’s probably appropriate for a group that’ll have to form chemistry on the fly given the roster is entirely new to the program.
It’s hard to say that Indiana’s matchup with Kentucky pops off the screen given it’s been on the schedule for well over a year now, but the first regular season matchup between two of the most historically significant programs to the sport who previously played every single season is worth noting.
With that in mind, we ran a fan poll with the help of our friends at SB Nation to see if fans want to see the Cats on the schedule more consistently moving forward. The results are overwhelming:
It’s fair to say the interest from Indiana’s side is strong, at least among the fanbase. It’s an important rivalry to the program’s history and the seasons since have lost something without Kentucky on the roster.
That’s the verdict on adding Kentucky to the schedule, but what about other historic, name-brand programs? We put together a list of a few others and North Carolina came out as the narrow favorite to be on future Indiana schedules:

This also makes sense. Indiana and North Carolina have played enough in the regular season and tournament for fans to have developed pretty concrete feelings for the Tar Heels. Duke speaks for itself and there’s already been a home-and-home with Kansas recently. UCLA would’ve been on this list, but that’s a conference game now, so.
Indiana currently sits at +6000 to win the 2026 national championship, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
Four people have died due to flooding from thunderstorms in Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear said Saturday, and he issued a state of emergency with additional rainfall expected.
Flash flood warnings were in effect Saturday for parts of Kentucky and Indiana amid heavy rainfall, according to the National Weather Service.
The agency late Saturday afternoon said between 4 and 10 inches of rain had already fallen in some parts of southwestern Indiana, with more possible.
Beshear’s office said up to 7 inches of rain were expected in parts of his state through the late evening.
He said on social media that three people had died in Madison County and one in Jackson County due to flooding.
“This is a serious flooding event, where teams have already had to conduct multiple water rescues from vehicles and homes across the commonwealth,” he said in a statement. “As more heavy rain continues through late tonight, we need folks to remain alert and to avoid driving, especially after dark when there is limited visibility.”
Beshear said there were “significant roads underwater” in Madison County, with search and rescue teams sent to that region. He also said at least 12 state roads were “out of commission” because they were flooded.
In northwestern Kentucky, just outside Louisville, Bullitt County emergency management officials asked residents of a rural road to evacuate as a precaution after a landslide at a dam embankment. The dam was holding and there was no indication of imminent failure, they said.
The area saw about 3 inches of rain in the past two days, according to the National Weather Service.

Beechwood senior wide receiver Tyler Fryman has committed to University of Kentucky football and baseball according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
Fryman made the change to the Wildcats on June 26, just three days after announcing he was decommitting from Louisville Cardinals baseball. Fryman had been committed to Louisville since 2023.
The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.
For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.
Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.
