Indiana Basketball opens the 2026-27 regular season against Eastern Illinois, and Darian DeVries' Hoosiers have three major things to prove. After an encouraging exhibition schedule, Indiana enters the new season with improved size, more scoring options and plenty of expectations. But can those improvements translate when the games actually count? In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins breaks down three things he wants to see from Indiana Basketball in the season opener: stronger rebounding, better defensive communication and balanced offensive production. Plus, Bryce Lindsay was one of Indiana's most exciting players during exhibition play. How will DeVries use Lindsay alongside Markus Burton and the rest of the Hoosiers' backcourt? Could Lindsay become one of Indiana's most important contributors this season? We preview Indiana vs. Eastern Illinois, discuss the Hoosiers' rotation and explain what would make opening night a successful first step.
