The Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team represents Indiana University Bloomington in NCAA Division I college basketball and competes in the Big Ten Conference. The Hoosiers play at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on the Branch McCracken Court in Bloomington, Indiana on the Indiana University Bloomington campus. Indiana has won five National Championships in men's basketball (1940, 1953, 1976, 1981, 1987) – two coming under Branch McCracken and three under Bob Knight. For forty-seven years and counting, Indiana's 1976 squad remains the last undefeated NCAA men's basketball champion.
The Hoosiers are sixth in NCAA Tournament appearances (41), seventh in NCAA Tournament victories (68), tied for eighth in Final Four appearances (8), and 10th in overall victories.[2] The Hoosiers have won 22 Big Ten Conference Championships, which is second most in conference history, behind only Purdue (25). The Hoosiers also rank eighth in all-time AP poll appearances (576) and sixth in the number of weeks spent ranked No. 1 (54).[3] Every four-year men's basketball letterman from 1973 to 2019 earned at least one trip to the NCAA basketball tournament.[4]
A 2019 study listed Indiana as the fifth most valuable collegiate basketball program in the country.[5] Indiana has ranked in the top 20 nationally in men's basketball attendance every season since Assembly Hall opened in 1972, and often in the top five.[6]
Indiana has two main rivalries including in-state, against the Purdue Boilermakers (see Indiana–Purdue rivalry), and out-of-state, against the Kentucky Wildcats (see Indiana–Kentucky rivalry).
