The 2024–25 Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team represented Indiana University in the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. They were led by fourth-year head coach, and former Indiana standout, Mike Woodson. The team played its home games at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana, as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The season officially began with the annual event, Hoosier Hysteria, on Friday, October 18, 2024.

By missing out on the 2025 NCAA Tournament, the Woodson era came to a close. Turning down other post-season tournament invites, the Hoosiers finished with an overall record of 19–13, and 10–10 in Big Ten Conference play.

The Indiana Hoosiers drew an average home attendance of 16,447, the 8th-highest of all college basketball teams.

Woodson's third season didn't meet expectations as the 2023–24 Hoosiers finished 19–14 overall and 10–10 in the Big Ten. IU received the No. 6 seed in the Big Ten Conference tournament, where they beat Penn State for the first time that season, 61–59 with a last second tip-in by Anthony Leal. In the quarterfinals, IU lost to Nebraska for the third time that season, 93–66.

Indiana's coaching staff hit the portal early during the off-season and was able to get their first commitment from the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, Myles Rice. The announcement came right after his visit to the IU campus on April 13, 2024. Rice averaged 14.8 points, 3.8 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game during his freshman season at Washington State. In addition to being PAC-12 Freshman of the Year, Rice was named first-team All-Pac 12 and won Pac-12 Freshman of the Week seven times. Just a few days later on April 16, 2024, IU secured their second transfer in Oumar Ballo. Coming from Arizona, he was considered the number one transfer in the portal. Over his career at Arizona and Gonzaga, Ballo has a field goal percentage of 64.6% and 56.4% percent as a free throw shooter. Kanaan Carlyle, ranked tenth in the transfer portal, committed to Indiana on April 20, 2024. In his freshman year at Stanford, Carlyle averaged 11.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists. Coming out of high school, he was a consensus four-star and a top-60 recruit; however, by the time he signed with Stanford he was a five-star recruit, ranked No. 15 overall by ESPN. With these three transfers, on April 20, 2024, IU had the number one transfer portal class in the country. The Hoosiers added a fourth portal transfer on April 26, 2024: Luke Goode, an Indiana native from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Goode played for three years for the Fighting Illini and posted a career 3-point average of 38.8%. He only has one year of eligibility remaining. Another Indiana native, Langdon Hatton, announced his commitment to play for IU on May 15, 2024. Hatton came from Bellarmine, where as a Junior he shot 50.9% on 2s and 33.3% on 3s.
