BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana wraps up preseason play with an exhibition game on Friday against Marian University.

The matchup comes with Hoosier ties, as Marian hired Pat Knight, the son of Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, to be its new head coach this offseason. Also, Marian's athletic director is Steve Downing, who was the leading scorer on Indiana's 1973 Final Four team.

This will mark the third straight year Indiana has hosted Marian for an exhibition game. In coach Mike Woodson's fourth season, the Hoosiers began their two-game exhibition slate with a 66-62 win at No. 12 Tennessee on Sunday. Malik Reneau led the Hoosiers with 21 points, and Myles Rice scored 20.

Indiana begins the regular season on Wednesday at 8 p.m. at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.
