## Resource

Indiana Basketball brought home gold for Team USA in Peru, but the biggest takeaway is what the trip revealed about Darian DeVries’ second Hoosiers roster. After watching Indiana go undefeated, Jacob Goins explains why this team has the depth, physicality, guard play and toughness required to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2022–23 season. Aiden Sherrell earned tournament MVP honors, Bryce Lindsay delivered his strongest performance of the trip, and Indiana’s freshmen gained valuable experience before the regular season. The competition will become much tougher, but the Hoosiers already look more prepared to withstand the challenges of Big Ten play. Plus: Indiana Football is picked to finish third in the Big Ten preseason poll Why Oregon—not Ohio State—should be the conference favorite Why USC will not finish in the top five What Tyrique Tucker, Isaiah Jones and Carter Smith can reveal at Big Ten Media Days How Curt Cignetti’s veteran leaders represent the defending national champions Can Indiana Basketball finally return to March? And is third place fair for Indiana Football? Subscribe to Locked On Hoosiers for daily Indiana Football and Indiana Basketball coverage.
