Your Chance to Be There: Holiday Hoosier Basketball at Assembly Hall

Hopeful Hoosier

A Hoosier’s hopeful look at the team, the tradition, and the road back

Over the next few days, Indiana will play two home games — Saturday against Chicago State and Monday against Siena — and they come at a perfect moment for fans who don’t always get the chance to be inside Assembly Hall.

With the holidays almost here, families (and IU students) will be home, school will be out, and weekend schedules may open up a bit. If you’ve never taken your kids, your parents, or your grandkids to a game… this is one of those golden windows (if you live near Bloomington).

And the best part? It’s affordable. On resale sites right now, you can get:

  • balcony seats for as little as $5
  • lower-level seats starting around $10
  • very good seats for $35–$40

For anyone who’s not familiar with ticket apps, places like StubHub, and especially TickPick (which usually has lower fees) make it easy to compare prices and grab seats.

This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s a fan-to-fan reminder: Moments like these are how lifelong memories start.

And for this year’s team, these games matter too. They need reps. They need confidence. They need support as they work through December and get ready for the grind of Big Ten play in January.

If you’ve wanted to be part of helping this team grow — or wanted to share IU basketball with someone who hasn’t experienced it before — this is your chance.

So if you’re local, or home for the holidays, or just curious about what this new DeVries era feels like inside the building…this weekend is a perfect time to be there.

Tickets are inexpensive. The schedule is friendly. The opportunity is real.

And who knows — a small December moment might become a big memory down the road.
