THE COACHES
• Archie Miller is the 29th head coach in Indiana men's basketball history. The 39-year old native of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, comes to IU after serving the previous six seasons as head coach at the University of Dayton, where he won Atlantic 10 Conference regular season championships in 2016 and 2017. He was Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year in 2017. He guided the Flyers to a 139-63 record (69.8) and a 68-34 mark (66.7) in the Atlantic 10. He took Dayton to the NCAA Tournament each of the last four years with the Flyers advancing to the Elite Eight in the 2014 Tournament. UD was nationally ranked in three of Miller's six seasons (2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16).
• Fran McCaffery is in his 8th season of guiding the Iowa program and has a 141-104 record since going to Iowa City. He is 5-7 overall against the Hoosiers.
NEWS & NOTES
• The Hoosiers complete a stretch where 5 of 6 games are being played in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
• IU has won 4 of the last 5 meetings between the teams in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. In their last tussle in Assembly Hall, IU defeated #4 Iowa, 85-78, on February 11, 2016.
• In the last five games, IU has held opponents to 33.3% shooting from long distance after allowing its first three opponents of the season to shoot 50.6% from long range (39/77).
• One bright spot for the Hoosiers in Ann Arbor was the play of junior forward Juwan Morgan. The Missouri native had a Big Ten career-high 24 points and added 8 rebounds. His 9 field goals matched a career-high. In the last 5 games he is averaging 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocked shots. He is shooting 61.7% from the field in that time frame.
• With 6 points against Duke, senior Robert Johnson is now in 47th place on the IU all-time scoring list with 1,083 points. Darryl Thomas is 46th with 1,095 and Bob Leonard is 45th with 1,098.
• The Hoosiers have set a new standard for the program in valuing the basketball. Dating back to the start of the 1996-97 season, IU has not had a better three-game stretch when IU had played 3 straight games without double-digit turnovers for the first time in at least 22 seasons with 8 against Arkansas State and Eastern Michigan and 9 versus Duke. IU averaged 15.2 turnovers a season ago and had 49 in their first three games of the season. They have averaged 9 turnovers a game in the last 4 games after committing 11 against Michigan. IU had just 2 turnovers in the first half against Duke and just 2 in the second half at Michigan.
