The Indiana Hoosiers men’s basketball team represents Indiana University in NCAA Division I college basketball and competes in the Big Ten Conference.

The Hoosiers play Branch McCracken Court in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana on the Indiana University Bloomington campus. Indiana has won five NCAA Championships in men’s basketball (1940, 1953, 1976, 1981, 1987) — the first two beneath trainer Branch McCracken and the latter three under Bob Knight. Indiana’s 1976 squad stays the last undefeated NCAA men’s basketball champion.
The Hoosiers are tied for sixth in NCAA Tournament appearances (39), seventh in NCAA Tournament victories (66), tied for eighth in Final Four appearances (8), and 11th in total victories. The Hoosiers have won 22 Big Ten Conference Championships and have the highest winning percentage in conference games in almost 60 percent. No team has had more All-Big Ten choices than the Hoosiers with 53. The Hoosiers also rank seventh in all time AP poll appearances (560) and sixth in the amount of months spent ranked No. 1 (54). Every Faculties men’s basketball letterman since 1973 has earned a trip to the NCAA basketball championship. Furthermore, each multiplayer player since 1950 has played on a nationally ranked group at Indiana.
The Hoosiers are among the most storied programs in the history of college basketball. A 2019 study recorded Indiana as the fifth most valuable collegiate basketball program in the nation. Indiana has ranked in the top 20 nationally in men’s basketball attendance annually since Assembly Hall opened in 1972, and frequently in the top five.
Indiana has two chief rivalries including in-state, contrary to the Purdue Boilermakers (see Indiana–Purdue rivalry), also out-of-state, against the Kentucky Wildcats (see Indiana–Kentucky rivalry.)
