The Indiana basketball program will not play in the 2023 Gavitt Games, sources confirm to HoosierIllustrated.com.

CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported the matchups on Monday afternoon.

Here are the matchups.

Xavier at Purdue
Michigan at St. John’s
Iowa at Creighton
Marquette at Illinois
Maryland at Villanova
Butler at Michigan State
Georgetown at Rutgers
Wisconsin at Providence

Indiana is 4-1 all-time in the Gavitt Games — the Big Ten against the Big East. Its record in the event is the second-best winning percentage out of either conference behind Michigan State.

The Hoosiers won at Xavier last year, 81-79.

Indiana’s non-conference schedule is highlighted by Kansas, Auburn and the Empire Classic. Harvard and Wright State are the other non-conference opponents on the schedule as of now.

Indiana will play two of UConn, Texas and Louisville from Nov. 19-20 at Madison Square Garden as part of the Empire Classic.

When Mike Woodson took over the Indiana basketball program, he made it known he wanted a challenging non-conference schedule. Between the Empire Classic and Auburn this year to a matchup with Arizona last season and a home-and-home with Kansas … he’s done exactly that.

“I think it’s important to prepare yourself with high-level competition as much as possible as your team gets ready for a 20-game Big Ten schedule,” Woodson said last season.

“I think you’ve got to challenge your team as you move forward. As we’re building this, we’ve got to challenge ourselves with big time programs.”
