Preview: Northern Kentucky at IU Indy INDIANAPOLIS (Interstat) — The Northern Kentucky Norse visit the IU Indy Jaguars in a Horizon League men’s basketball matchup on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026, at Fairgrounds Coliseum. Northern Kentucky (14-11) enters with momentum after a 67-62 home win over Milwaukee on Saturday, snapping a four-game losing streak. The Norse are led by guard Dan Gherezgher, who scored 22 points in that victory. Gherezgher has been a high-volume scorer, including a 30-point performance at Wright State on Jan. 24. IU Indy (7-18) is also coming off a win, having defeated Cleveland State 82-74 at home on Saturday. Guard Kyler D’Augustino paced the Jaguars with 16 points and six assists. D’Augustino has been a consistent offensive catalyst, scoring 28 points in a Jan. 15 overtime win over Robert Morris. The teams met earlier this season on Jan. 1 in Highland Heights, Kentucky, with Northern Kentucky securing an 81-72 victory. This contest features a contrast in conference positioning. Northern Kentucky seeks to solidify its standing in the upper half of the league, while IU Indy looks to build on its recent home win and climb out of the cellar. Gherezgher’s scoring versatility will be a primary focus for the Jaguars’ defense. For IU Indy, D’Augustino’s ability to create for himself and others, evidenced by his multiple recent games with at least six assists, will be key to challenging the Norse. The game tips off at 7 p.m. EST Thursday at Fairgrounds Coliseum.
