The Indiana Hoosiers (4-0) will look to build on a solid start to the season when they host the Lindenwood Lions (2-3) on Thursday evening in Bloomington. Indiana has begun the campaign with wins but has also flagged a few issues they want to correct, particularly on offense and defensive consistency. The Lions, meanwhile, are still in search of consistency and squad identity as they navigate a non-conference stretch. Indiana most recently eked out a 69-61 home victory over Incarnate Word despite poor shooting from the field (30 of 53), dismal three-point efficiency (5 of 24) and shaky free-throw execution (18 of 26). Indiana forward Tucker DeVries described it as a learning moment: “I think at the end of the

St. Louis gets its rematch quickly. Philadelphia erased a 5-3 deficit last week and won in a shootout. The Blues have not recovered since. They dropped two more, including Tuesday’s 3-2 overtime loss in Toronto. Their issue is closing games. They produce in stretches, then slip defensively and allow momentum swings.

The Yellow Jackets accumulated 628 total yards, their second-highest total ever in an ACC game. Coach Brent Key emphasized the opportunity ahead, reflecting strategic focus approaches described in the

The matchup between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Vanderbilt Commodores carries postseason significance and emotional weight. Vanderbilt, ranked No. 14, hosts what is likely the final home start for quarterback Diego Pavia, who has transformed the program into an SEC contender since his arrival. The Commodores sit at 8–2 and remain alive in the College Football Playoff race, but only if they win out. Kentucky enters at 5–5 after a turbulent season that has recently shifted upward. The Wildcats have won three straight games through improved offensive cohesion and defensive stability.
