INDIANAPOLIS - The IU Indianapolis men's basketball program finalized its upcoming 2024-2025 schedule with the release of the full #HLMBB schedule on Wednesday (Sept. 4). The Jaguars will open Horizon League play with home games against Green Bay (Dec. 4) and Northern Kentucky (Dec. 7) and host reigning champion Oakland on Feb. 12.
The Jaguars will also host a pair of Horizon League games at Indiana Farmers Coliseum against Youngstown State (Jan. 1) and Wright State (Mar. 1) on Senior Day.
"We're excited about the entire schedule and the release of the Horizon League schedule," head coach
Paul Corsaro said. "I think we have a really good balance of top-tier opponents, competitive matchups and some opportunities to get some wins in the non-conference. We're going to be battle tested by the time Horizon League play rolls around and this league is a grind. There are no easy outs and you have to bring your best each night to get league wins.
"We're focused on continuing to improve and get better and be the best version of ourselves on game days."
The previously announced non-conference slate includes games at Xavier (Nov. 8), Iowa State (Nov. 18) and Florida International (Dec. 21). The Jaguars will play three games at Alabama A&M as they'll face South Carolina State (Nov. 22) and Coastal Carolina (Nov. 23) in an exempt tournament, followed by a true road game against AAMU (Nov. 25).
The Jaguars enter the campaign with a completely new roster, including five transfers who played for Corsaro at UIndy. Guards
Jarvis Walker (13.3 ppg, 43.8 3FG%) and
Paul Zilinskas (12.5 ppg, 37.1 3FG%) headline the group while 7-footer
Julian Steinfeld (4.2 rpg, 69.8 FG%) brings much needed size and experience to the middle. A cast of other transfers
Timaris Brown (Rockhurst),
Nathan Dudukovich (Thomas More),
Briggs McClain (Manhattan) and
Alec Millender (Wayne State) will also be featured prominently.
The freshman class includes former Indiana All-Star
Keenan Garner, former Crispus Attucks standout
Ron Rutland III and
DeSean Goode, a late signee to the Jaguars' signing class.
