Several former IU basketball players are competing across the country in the 2025-26 season. Three former Hoosiers are on teams that reached the 2026 NCAA tournament.
Here’s an updated look at how every former scholarship player for the Hoosiers is performing at the end of the regular season:

DePaul could be among the eight teams to play in the Crown, a postseason tournament set to be held early next month in Las Vegas. If not, Banks has concluded his career.

Carlyle shot 40.9 percent from the field, 32.4 percent on 3-pointers and 85.4 percent from the free-throw line.
Gabe Cupps, Ohio StateTeam record and KenPom rank: 21-12, No. 26

The former Ohio Mr. Basketball has appeared in 32 games for the Buckeyes, averaging 1.6 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 12.5 minutes per game.
Logan Duncomb, WinthropTeam record and KenPom rank: 23-11, No. 155
Duncomb came up short in his bid for an NCAA tournament berth as Winthrop fell to High Point in the Big South tournament final.
The 6-foot-10 Duncomb finished his college career on a high note, averaging 18.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 24.3 minutes per game.
Duncomb was named Big South player of the year.
