It’s been a while since Indiana has played. That changes Friday, March 17, when the Hoosiers face Kent State in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The game will be live streamed on Sling, which offers half off the first month.

The Indiana Hoosiers got back to work Friday with a sharp and spirited NCAA Tournament practice.

Since clinching their first Big Ten regular season title in 40 years on Feb. 19, the top-seeded Hoosiers have played just three games. They were able to rest, rehab and recharge from a brutal conference slate, as well as refocus after losing twice during the final stretch.

The Hoosiers’ top two players, All-American center Mackenzie Holmes and all-conference guard Grace Berger, certainly needed the time off after averaging more than 30 minutes per game.

When is Indiana-Kent State?

Indiana and Kent State play in the first round of the NCAA tournament at 8:55 p.m. (9:55 p.m. ET) on Friday, March 17.
