INDIANA STATE SYCAMORES MEN'S BASKETBALL

Missouri Valley ConferenceD1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Nestled in Terre Haute with 8,305 students, Indiana State has competed in college basketball since the university's 1865 founding, now fielding a 16-player roster under head coach Matthew Graves at the Hulman Center. The 2024-25 season shows the Sycamores struggling at 10-17 overall, though their home-court advantage is evident with a 7-6 record in Terre Haute compared to just 3-11 on the road. Within the Missouri Valley Conference, Indiana State's 3-11 conference record reflects a challenging campaign in a competitive league.

Offensively, the Sycamores average 75.1 points per game while allowing 74.9—a razor-thin margin indicating closely contested games that could shift either direction. This statistical parity suggests Indiana State remains competitive in individual matchups but struggles with consistency or depth. Graves will need to tighten defensive execution and address road-game vulnerabilities as the squad continues its Missouri Valley Conference schedule, where the gap between home (7-6) and away (3-11) performance points to a program seeking stability in conference play.
