Indiana Hoosiers hosted the Syracuse Orange at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on November 9, 2026, in a game that highlighted the ongoing adjustment period for first-year head coach Darian DeVries.
Forward Samet Yigitoglu, wearing No. 21, threw down a dunk during the first half against Syracuse's Sadiq White Jr. The contest served as another step in the learning curve for DeVries as he implements his system with the program.
