FOX Sports Indiana will televise more than 14 hours of high school, college, and Pacers coverage as part of Basketball Day Indiana, and the celebration will expand beyond Indianapolis into communities throughout the state.

Highlights of Basketball Day Indiana will include:

  • Five high school games: Two premier high school games will be played at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and three at North Daviess High School in Elnora, including the historic Buggy Bowl rivalry game between Barr-Reeve and North Daviess.
  • Flags: Every IHSAA high school hosting a game that weekend will receive a Basketball Day Indiana flag to display. The schools are encouraged to post photos to social media with the hashtag #BasketballDayIndiana.
  • National FOX Sports college games: FOX will broadcast Indiana-Purdue and St. John’s-Butler to a national audience. Basketball Day Indiana will be part of the national broadcasts.
  • IU-Purdue Postgame: FOX Sports Indiana will produce expanded postgame coverage following the Indiana-Purdue game in West Lafayette.
  • Larry Bird Day: FOX Sports Indiana will report from Larry Bird Day at Indiana State in Terre Haute.
  • Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse: Basketball Day will conclude with the Pacers’ home game vs. Dallas. Throughout the day, FOX Sports Indiana will anchor coverage from a set in the entry pavilion of Bankers Life Fieldhouse. “Last year, schools and fans throughout the state told us they wanted to be a bigger part of Basketball Day Indiana. So we’re taking our cameras beyond Indianapolis — to Elnora, West Lafayette, Terre Haute and more — and providing high schools throughout the state with Basketball Day banners, to make this a true statewide celebration of the sport,” said FOX Sports Indiana senior vice president and general manager Jack Donovan. “We thank our partners, the Pacers, Fever, IHSAA and St. Vincent, and the schools, fans and athletes who will make Basketball Day memorable.”

Basketball Day Indiana is an annual celebration of the state’s unmatched connection to the sport. It showcases basketball at all levels with events and a full day of television programming that includes live games, interviews and features chronicling the impact of the sport in the state. The first Basketball Day Indiana took place Dec. 10, 2016, and the second on Jan. 6, 2018. Basketball Day Indiana is produced by FOX Sports Indiana, the Indiana Pacers, Indiana Fever and IHSAA.
