The Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team finally returns to the court for a real basketball game on Monday as they open their regular season against Morehead State. After a long, long wait and a number of exhibition games, IU is set to kick off what should be a special season.

On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) previews Indiana's first game of the season. With plenty of hype and expectations coming into the year, the Hoosiers need to start making good on that potential starting Monday.

The IU football team, meanwhile, hit a new low on Saturday in their lifeless loss to Penn State. With a truly bizarre decision at QB and the season spiraling, it's time for some uncomfortable truths about the program.

The show wraps by talking about Friday's exhibition game for the women's basketball team. A surprise in the starting lineup saw Yarden Garzon showcase her potential while Mackenzie Holmes and Gracer Berger continued to shine.
