Indiana Basketball could go 16-4 in the Big Ten! Darian DeVries enters Year 2 with a completely revamped roster, massive expectations, and a chance to bring the Hoosiers back to March Madness. On today's Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins delivers his complete Indiana Basketball 2026-27 season preview ahead of the Hoosiers' opener against Eastern Illinois at Assembly Hall. After an 18-14 season, a 9-11 Big Ten record, and another missed NCAA Tournament, Indiana desperately needs a turnaround. Jacob explains why he believes Darian DeVries has addressed the biggest problems from last season with improved scoring depth, better guard play, more size, stronger rebounding and one of the nation's best transfer portal classes. We break down the entire Indiana Basketball roster, including Notre Dame transfer Markus Burton, Bryce Lindsay, Darren Harris, Jaeden Mustaf, Aiden Sherrell, Samet Yigitoglu, Trent Sisley, Sam Alexis and Indiana's talented freshmen. Could Bryce Lindsay force his way into the starting lineup? Will Markus Burton provide the point guard play Indiana has been missing? Can Aiden Sherrell become the centerpiece of DeVries' offense? PLUS: We preview Indiana's entire schedule, including major non-conference matchups against Arkansas and Kentucky, early Big Ten games against Rutgers and Iowa, and the toughest conference stretch featuring Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State. Jacob shares his boldest predictions, including a possible 16-4 Big Ten season, an NCAA Tournament victory, and a potential Sweet 16 run. Indiana Basketball begins its second season under Darian DeVries with something to prove. Is this finally the year the Hoosiers return to national relevance?
