The Indiana Hoosiers men’s basketball team concluded their 2024-2025 season with a 19-13 record, finishing ninth in the Big Ten Conference. Unfortunately, they were not selected for the NCAA Tournament, marking their second consecutive year of exclusion.
This omission has sparked significant discussion among fans and analysts. Former Indiana coach Tom Crean expressed surprise over the decision, referring to it as a “head scratcher.”
Some commentators have ranked Indiana among the most notable “snubs” of the tournament, citing their strong conference play and quality wins as factors that merited inclusion.
In contrast, the Indiana women’s basketball team secured a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament and is set to face Utah in the first round.
