BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU Hilltopper Basketball will face the Indiana Hoosiers in a neutral-site exhibition on Sunday, Oct. 25, at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. The game is scheduled to tip off at 3 p.m. CT.
WKU and Indiana have faced off just three times in program history, with the Hoosiers holding a 2-1 advantage. The Hilltoppers claimed the win in first meeting, defeating No. 3-ranked Indiana 110-91 in Dallas on Dec. 28, 1967. The two schools have not met since playing in the Hoosier Classic during the 1993-94 season.Â
Both programs rank among the most successful in NCAA Division I men's basketball history in terms of total wins. Indiana ranks 11th all-time with 1,968 victories, while WKU sits 18th with 1,929 wins.
Tickets to the event can be purchased HERE and will be available at the Ford Center ticket office beginning at 10 a.m. CT on Friday, June 26.
WKU recently announced the return of five guards for the 2026-27 season, including Teagan Moore, Armelo Boone, LJ Hackman, Kade Unseld and Lawson Rice. Moore is back following an All-Conference USA campaign in which he averaged 18.7 points per game to rank among the league's top scorers, Boone returns from a standout freshman season after posting 10.9 points and a team-high 6.1 rebounds per game, and Hackman is back after contributing 8.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per contest.
