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 155-78 in seven 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. Indiana native Brian Fish is in his fifth year of leading MSU. He was a longtime assistant to Dana Altman at Oregon, Creighton, Kansas State and Marshall. He is from Seymour.
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.
SOME MILLER ERA BESTS AGAINST CHICAGO STATE
IU eclipsed the century mark for the first time under Coach Miller. The team scored a season-high 87 points three times last year. In addition, the 39 field goals topped last season's best of 33. The Hoosiers 12 steals matched their best effort against Youngstown State a year ago. IU's 33 free throws attempted tied last year's standard established against Indiana State.
The 51 points off the bench 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.
