OPENING TIP
Indiana University begins its 119th season of competition in men's basketball. The Hoosiers will host Marquette in the Gavitt Tipoff Games featuring teams from the Big Ten taking on squads from the Big East. This will be the third time that IU has participated in the event. In 2015, IU defeated Creighton at home, 86-65, while the Hoosiers fell last year at Seton Hall 84-68. IU is picked to finish third in the Big Ten, while Marquette is picked to finish second in the Big East. IU leads the series 7-2.
The teams last met in the Great Alaska Shootout in November of 2001 (Marquette 50, IU 49) and will square off in Assembly Hall for the first time since the 1985 Postseason NIT (IU 94, Marquette 82 2 OT). The Hoosiers are coming off an 80-35 win over Montana State, while Marquette defeated Bethune Cookman, 92-59 on Saturday.

THE COACHES
Indiana Coach Archie Miller begins his second season of guiding the Cream and Crimson. Last year, the Hoosiers finished 16-15 and 9-9 in the Big Ten. He is 157-78 in seven- plus years as a head coach, which includes six years at the University of Dayton. His Flyer teams made NCAA Tournament appearances in each of his last four seasons, including a trip to the Elite Eight in 2014. The Golden Eagles Steve Wojciechowski is in his fifth year of leading Marquette and has a 75-59 record. He played at and was an assistant coach at Duke from 1999-2014.
NEWS & NOTES
IU's recruiting class is ranked seventh in the country heading into the season. Senior forward Juwan Morgan and freshman guard Romeo Langford were selected to the 10-member Preseason All-Big Ten team. Both are among 50 players listed as candidates for the 2019 Naismith Trophy and Wooden Award and Langford is among 20 players on the NABC Player of the Year watch list. Morgan also is on the Karl Malone Watch List which is awarded to the top power forward in the country, and Langford is on the Jerry West Watch List presented annually to college basketball's top shooting guard. Langford was named third-team Preseason All-American by ESPN.com and CBSSports.com and earned fourth-team honors from WatchStadium.com.
DEFENSE FUELING OFFENSE EARLY IN THE SEASON FOR IU
Coach Archie Miller's squad has been impressive defensively in two regular season games, an exhibition game and a closed scrimmage. Against Chicago State and Montana State, IU has limited its opponents to 28.7% shooting from the field and 17.0% from three-point range, while allowing just 45.0 points per game. In addition, IU has forced an average of 22.5 turnovers per game, while collecting 11 steals per outing. IU has shot 56.3% from the field this season and has 42 assists to just 27 turnovers. The Hoosiers are averaging 92.0 points per game.
SOME EARLY MILLER ERA BESTS
IU eclipsed the century mark for the first time under Archie Miller when it scored 104 points against Chicago State. The team scored a season-high 87 points three times last year.
In addition, the 39 field goals in that game topped last season's best of 33.
The Hoosiers 12 steals versus the Cougars matched their best effort against Youngstown State a year ago.
IU's 33 free throws attempted in the opener tied last year's standard established against Indiana State.
The Hoosiers 35 points allowed against Montana State topped last year's lowest total points allowed (43, at Rutgers).
The 16 points allowed in the second half also matched last years fewest points allowed in a half (16, 1st half at Rutgers).
BENCH PROVIDING CONTRIBUTIONS
The Hoosiers are averaging 39.5 points per game off the bench. The 51 points off the bench against Chicago State eclipsed last year's season-high of 39 against Howard. Junior Devonte Green had 15 and senior Evan Fitzner added 14 as reserves. Since the 1996-97 season, IU had only scored 50 points off the bench twice before. The Hoosiers scored 53 against Drake on December 27, 1998 and 50 against Buffalo on December 10, 1999.
2018 Gavitt Tipoff Games
The Gavitt Tipoff Games is named in honor of Hall of Famer Dave Gavitt, founder of the BIG EAST and basketball visionary.
Scheduled through 2022, the Gavitt Tipoff Games will be played on consecutive days in the first full week of the college basketball season.
In its first three seasons of existence, The Big East and Big Ten have posted 4-4 records.
Each Big East team will participate a minimum of six times, while Big Ten programs will take part a minimum of four times.
Teams from both conferences already meet in some traditional rivalry games (IU plays Butler every other year in the Crossroads Classic), and those matchups will continue in the upcoming seasons.
