THE COACHES
Indiana Coach Archie Miller is in his 2nd season of guiding the Cream and Crimson. He has a 29-26 record since taking over the Hoosiers. He is 168-89 in 7-plus years as a head coach, which includes 6 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. Richard Pitino is in his 6th year with the Golden Gophers.
NEWS & NOTES
IU is rated 49th in the NET. Following the game with Minnesota, IU will close out the season with 4 of 6 at home.
Senior forward Juwan Morgan and freshman guard Romeo Langford were selected to the 10-member Preseason All-Big Ten team. Langford is the top freshman scorer in the conference averaging 17.5 ppg. He has shot 42.3% from long distance over the last 4 games making 11 of 26 3FG. He has been named Big Ten Freshman of the Week 4 times. 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 1,199 career points (38th all-time at IU) and is 4th in the B1G in double-doubles with 8.
After ranking as high as 2nd in the nation in field goal shooting a few weeks ago, the Hoosiers have shot just 39.8% in their last 10 games. Langford, Morgan, and sophomore Justin Smith have started all 24 games for the Hoosiers. Smith had his best all-around game with the Hoosiers in the win over #6 Michigan State with 13 points and 10 rebounds, his third career double-double, and 3 key blocked shots, including a game-saving tip of Cassius Winston's potential game-tying layup with 3.4 seconds left in overtime.
Junior De'Ron Davis (ankle). Davis, who had only played 31 minutes in 6 games since December 19, played a season-high 25 minutes and posted more season-high's in points (12), rebounds (6) and assists (4) against the Spartans. Against Iowa, he played 23 minutes and had 4 points, 5 boards and a career-high 7 assists. He had 6 points against Ohio State and is averaging 21 minutes in the last 3 games. He has averaged 7.3 points and has 13 assists to just 1 turnover since returning to the lineup. Sophomore Al Durham is averaging 9.3 points in the last 3 games. He is shooting 50.0% from three-point range, making 5 of 10 attempts from downtown.
Minnesota native Race Thompson returns home. The Robbinsdale Armstrong High School product redshirted last year and has been sidelined most of the season with a concussion. He has been working to get back in playing shape. His father, Darrell, played football for the Golden Gophers and left the school as its all-time leading rusher. His brother, True, is a wide receiver and a member of the Minnesota football team.
IU is 3-3 in Williams Arena since the 2011-12 season.
