NEWS & NOTES
IU is rated 22nd in the latest AP poll and 21st in the NET.

The Hoosiers will be looking for their first undefeated calendar month since going 7-0 in November, 2012.

The Hoosiers have five Top 50 wins according to KenPom--Butler (29), Marquette (33), Louisville (37), Northwestern (42) and Penn State (43). Their only losses came on the road at Duke (1) and Arkansas (56).

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. Langford was named third-team Preseason All-American by ESPN.com and CBSSports.com and earned fourth-team honors from WatchStadium.com. Langford has twice already been named Big Ten Freshman of the Week. Morgan also is up for the 2019 Senior CLASS Award.

Morgan earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors and USBWA Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week accolades after his record-setting 35-point effort against Butler. He has scored 1,030 career points. Langford's 20-point effort in his first Big Ten game is the most by an IU true freshman in their first conference outing since Eric Gordon had 25 in his first B1G contest at Iowa in 2008. He is the only Hoosier to score in double digits every game and has twice been named Big Ten Freshman of the Week.

Coach Archie Miller's squad is the top shooting team in the Big Ten, and 3rd in the country, making 51.9% of its shots.

In the last 3 games, Morgan is shooting 79.3% from the field (23/29). Sophomore Devonte Green has made 8 of 13 3FG (61.5%) and freshman Rob Phinisee has made 7 of 12 3FG (58.3%). Langford leads the Hoosiers in rebounding (6.3) and assists (13).

MORGAN'S NUMBERS DON'T LIE
Senior Juwan Morgan joined an elite group of active collegiate players with a blocked shot against Central Arkansas on Dec. 19. He is one of 11 ACTIVE players in the country to amass the following career totals (Morgan's totals):

1,000 career points (1,030)
500 career rebounds (559)
100 career assists (114)
100 career blocked shots (100)

Of the 10 other players on the list - NOT including Morgan, two are from the Big Ten (Ethan Happ - WIS, Jordan Murphy - MINN).

Morgan also needs just 4 more blocked shots to break into the Top 10 all-time at IU.
