Army, who is coached by first year head coach Kevin Kowik, finished 10-8 in Patriot League conference play last season with an overall record 17-16.

Army also has a special connection as former legendary Indiana basketball head coach Bob Knight spent 8 years as a coach there before coming to Indiana in 1971. Knight was an assistant at Army from 1963–1965 before becoming head coach from the years 1965–1971.

This will also provide a chance for Army players and Indiana natives Blake Barker, Charlie Peterson, and Matt Dove a chance to come to Indiana and play in their home state.

This will be the first time ever that Indiana will play Army.
