On the same day he is scheduled to receive the backing of legendary Indiana college basketball coach Bobby Knight, Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has reached out to Gov. Mike Pence for his support ahead of the state's primary next Tuesday.

During a telephone interview with CNN's "New Day," Trump did not seem convinced that Pence would support him or anyone else, however.

"The governor's a great guy. I met with him. He may not endorse," Trump said. "I don't think he'll endorse anybody, actually, and he may endorse us. I don't know. He's a great guy. He's become -- you know, he's done a very, very good job as governor and he's a great guy. I don't know if we'll get his endorsement. I don't know."

Pence has met with both Ted Cruz and John Kasich.

"Do you think he's going to endorse Cruz? You don't think he'll come out and endorse if it's not you?" co-host Chris Cuomo asked Trump.

"No, I don't think so," Trump replied.

Trump will hold a rally with Knight in Indianapolis later Wednesday.
