Season one of the Darian DeVries era ended in the Big Ten tournament and the roster for the 2026-27 season is beginning to take shape.
The Hoosiers finished the 2025-26 season with an 18-14 record and a 9-11 mark in the Big Ten. IU was picked to finish 10th in the Big Ten and finished 10th. The program missed the NCAA tournament for a third consecutive season. IU’s last appearance in the NCAA tournament came in 2023 under Mike Woodson.
The transfer portal opened Tuesday, April 7, and six of IU’s scholarship players from last season’s roster have entered.
We are also tracking all Big Ten transfer portal entries at this link and incoming players to the Big Ten from the portal at this link. Both lists are updated frequently.
Throughout the spring, we’ll track Indiana’s 2026-27 roster until it is complete. Here’s our latest version of the 2026-27 IU basketball roster tracker:
