NKU Norse basketball to visit Indiana in December

The Northern Kentucky Norse basketball team will visit the Indiana Hoosiers at Assembly Hall in December, according to multiple reports.

Northern Kentucky Norse head coach Darrin Horn speaks to his players in the second half of the NCAA men's basketball game between the Northern Kentucky Norse and the Illinois-Chicago Flames on Sat. Jan. 30, 2021, at BB&T Arena in Highland Heights, Ky.

And WDRB.com's Rick Bozich reported Wednesday that Norse head coach Darrin Horn said his team also will visit the Big East Conference's DePaul Blue Demons in Chicago during its non-conference schedule.

The NKU-IU matchup Dec. 22 was first reported via Twitter earlier this week by @TheD1Docket.

Both reports indicated that the game in Bloomington - which would be the first-ever showdown between IU and NKU - will pay the Norse $85,000.

NKU also has never faced DePaul.

Both IU's Mike Woodson and DePaul's Tony Stubblefield are entering their first season as head coach at their respective schools. Stubblefield was a University of Cincinnati Bearcats assistant coach from 2006 to 2010.
