Indiana and Marquette will square off in a nonconference matchup at the United Center on Nov. 9, 2025, as part of the opening week of the 2025-26 men’s college basketball season, the Gazelle Group announced Wednesday.
The game marks Indiana’s first nonconference contest in the Chicago area since 2007. The Hoosiers hold an 8-2 all-time series lead over the Golden Eagles, including a 96-73 victory in their last meeting during the 2018 Gavitt Games.
Indiana has won two of three previous neutral-site matchups against Marquette, including NCAA Tournament victories in 1973 and 1976. Marquette’s lone neutral-court win came in the 2001 Great Alaska Shootout championship game.
Both programs are expected to undergo significant changes next season. Marquette, currently ranked No. 18, will be without its top three scorers, while Indiana will transition to a new head coach following Mike Woodson’s planned retirement.
The game is reportedly part of a multi-team event, with additional details, including ticket sales and television coverage, to be announced later this month.
This matchup marks the second high-major nonconference game on Indiana's schedule for next season, joining the previously announced contest against Kentucky at Rupp Arena on Dec. 20.
