Indiana University Athletics Announces Changes to Student Seating<\/strong> for Men’s Basketball <\/strong> IU Athletics is making a transformative shift of the seating configuration of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for the 2026-27 men\u2019s basketball season.\u00a0 In a move designed to further enhance the facility\u2019s legendary gameday atmosphere, IU-Bloomington students will occupy both the north and south court-level bleachers beginning next season. Both bleacher areas will feature general admission seating for IU student ticket holders.\u00a0 This change will nearly double the number of court-level seats set aside for the IU students to approximately 1,200. Previously, IU students occupied only the south courtside bleachers, while the north courtside bleachers were utilized by general public season ticket holders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change was inspired by feedback IU Athletics received from Indiana students in classes taught by IU Kelley School of Business instructors Rebecca Butters, Anna Deeds, and Clark Barwick. \u201cWe are excited to continue making Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall the toughest road environment in all of college basketball,\u201d head men\u2019s basketball coach Darian DeVries said. \u201cWe appreciate all the support we have received from Hoosier Nation and look forward to seeing you all this season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIU students are the heartbeat of this campus, and they are a huge part of what makes gamedays special at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall,\u201d IU Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Dolson said. \u201cThis change recognizes and celebrates that by giving our students a huge percentage of the best seats at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.\u201d IU students who purchased the 2026-27 Student Season Football and Men\u2019s Basketball Combo package will receive an email with an option to upgrade to either a north or south bleacher ticket package. If upgrade requests exceed availability, the IU Student Ticket Points Program will be used to determine eligibility based on accumulated point totals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Football Headed to the White House for National Championship Celebration <\/strong> Indiana football\u2019s national championship celebration is headed to Washington D.C. The Hoosiers are set to visit the White House on Monday, May 11, a source confirmed to\u00a0The South-Central Indiana News Network. The tradition of championship sports teams visiting the White House and the president of the United States dates back to the 1800s. The undefeated Indiana men\u2019s basketball team in 1976 was the first men\u2019s college basketball team to attend a White House celebration; college football champions have gone to Washington since Alabama in 1961. IU will become the latest group to visit the White House. The Hoosiers sealed their title on Jan. 19, 2026, with a 27-21 victory over Miami (Fla.), at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. This is the first of two prominent public appearances for IU head coach Curt Cignetti in May. He will also drive the pace car at the Indianapolis 500 on May 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Softball Takes Down Illinois in the Series Opener Indiana Takes Game One in Illinois Series<\/strong> On a chilly May night, Indiana\u2019s bats edged Illinois on Friday night at Andy Mohr Field as the Hoosiers won 8-5 in game one of the series.

Illinois used a sacrifice fly and home run over the center field to go up 3-0 in the top of the first. \u00a0Indiana countered in the bottom of the first with two runs scoring on a Josie Bird double to draw the score closer at 3-2. \u00a0It didn\u2019t take long for Indiana to take the lead as in the bottom of the second. Brooke Mannon tied it at 3-3 when she scored on a groundout from Aly VanBrandt. Then, after Alex Cooper walked, Avery Parker hit a grand slam to make it 7-3. Eileen Donahue\u2019s 2-run homer in the top of the fifth put the score closer, pushing it to 7-5. \u00a0Indiana added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth when Peyton Drummond came home on a groundout from Josie Bird to make it 8-5. Parker\u2019s grand slam marked her 53rd\u00a0of her career and her 19th\u00a0of the season. It was her third game in a row with a homer. The win improved Troutt\u2019s record to 11-6 on the season. \u00a0Tonight\u2019s game was the first meeting between Indiana and Illinois since 2022. \u00a0The Hoosiers notched five stolen bases tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pair of crooked numbers on the scoreboard helped push IU’s offense across the finish line to kick off the weekend series against the Wildcats.\u00a0Sophomore outfielder\u00a0Hogan Denny\u00a0set the tone in the first inning with a double in the gap to begin the contest. He and sophomore first baseman\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The veteran southpaw tossed six scoreless innings with seven strikeouts. He threw 100 pitches and commanded the game with a mix of pitches for strikes. Graduate student right-handed pitcher\u00a0Reagan Rivera\u00a0(SV, 3) picked up the save after recording the final seven outs of the game.\u00a0Over the last three seasons, IU is 13-6 in the month of May during the regular season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
