IU basketball to travel to Xavier for Gavitt Games

The Indiana Hoosiers basketball team saw the last big missing piece of its non-conference schedule filled on Tuesday with the report of the team traveling to Xavier for the Gavitt Games. Knowing that, the vast majority of IU's schedule for next season can be pieced together.

On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) reacts to the report of the Hoosiers traveling to meet the Xavier Musketeers next season. It's a different team that the Hoosiers have not played in recent seasons and only historically have played a small handful of times.

Having their opponent for the Gavitt Games now, it's easy to piece together what IU's schedule will look like, including a much tougher non-conference slate this season. The increased strength of that non-conference schedule also serves as the latest reminder that Indiana is better off having gotten out of the Crossroads Classic.

The show wraps by previewing NBA free agency with a number of former Hoosiers set to enter it on Thursday. Thomas Bryant, Victor Oladipo and Cody Zeller all are unrestricted free agents while Juwan Morgan could enter free agency if the Celtics turn down his player option.
