Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023–24 Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team represents Indiana University in the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They will be led by third-year head coach, and former Indiana standout, Mike Woodson. The team plays its home games at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana, as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The season officially began with the annual event, Hoosier Hysteria (featuring Gucci Mane), on Friday, October 20, 2023.[1]

On November 1, 2023, legendary Hall of Famer IU men's basketball coach Bob Knight (1971-2000) passed away at the age of 83. During his 29 seasons at IU, Knight led his teams to 3 national championships and 11 Big Ten titles. In remembrance of his excellence and many contributions to the program, the sport, and the university, the men's team will don "RMK" patches with 3 stars arced above on their home and away jerseys for every game this season. They debuted during an exhibition game against Marian on November 3, 2023.[2]

Previous season

The Hoosiers finished the regular season ranked No. 19 in the Associated Press poll. The team spent 16 weeks among the top-25 teams in the nation. The Hoosiers also captured a share of 2nd place in the Big Ten Conference with a 21-10 overall regular season record, 12–8 in Big Ten play, and the No. 3 seed in the Big Ten Conference tournament. IU advanced to the semifinals before losing a close game to Penn State. For the second year in a row, the team found themselves in the NCAA Tournament this time as a No. 4 seed, where they improved upon their performance last year by making it to the Round of 32 but falling to the No. 5 seed Miami (FL), 69–85.

Offseason

Coaching changes

On May 23, 2023, it was announced that Hoosier legend, Calbert Cheaney, would be returning to the men's basketball staff as the new Director of Player Development. Over the last three years, Cheaney filled the role as an assistant coach with the Indiana Pacers. This will be his second stint with IU. He was Director of Operations in 2011-12 and then also began overseeing the players internal and external player development for the 2012-13 season.[3]
