Locked On Hoosiers - Daily Podcast On Indiana Hoosiers Football & Basketball

Indiana Basketball continues to build momentum under first-year head coach Darian DeVries, and the excitement surrounding the Hoosiers is only growing. In today's episode of Locked On Hoosiers, Jacob Goins breaks down Indiana's newly announced non-conference matchup against Missouri and explains why the addition gives the Hoosiers another valuable test before Big Ten play begins. With neutral-site games already scheduled against Kentucky and Syracuse, adding an NCAA Tournament-caliber opponent inside Assembly Hall gives Indiana another opportunity to prove itself early in the season. Jacob also reacts to Darian DeVries' recent comments with Andy Katz about Markus Burton, Bryce Lindsay, and Indiana's talented new backcourt. From shooting and playmaking to defensive versatility, DeVries sounds extremely confident in the roster he has assembled. Combined with the upcoming exhibition games and the Peru trip, Indiana Basketball appears to have a significant head start compared to many programs around the country. The conversation then shifts to Indiana Football as Fernando Mendoza receives another major honor after being named the Big Ten Jesse Owens Male Athlete of the Year. Jacob discusses why the award matters beyond football and reacts to Mendoza revealing that he actually accepted less NIL money to transfer to Indiana because he believed Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers gave him the best opportunity to develop and win. Finally, Jacob is joined by TJ Pittinger from College Football Addiction to preview one of the biggest games on the 2026 college football schedule: Ohio State traveling to Bloomington. The two discuss why it could become the biggest game ever played at Memorial Stadium, how Indiana can compete with the Buckeyes, and what the matchup means in the expanded College Football Playoff era.
