Stuck at home for seven months, Archie Miller has had more time on his hands than normal to strategize for the upcoming season. Unable to jet around the country from one recruiting event to the next, Miller’s efficiency has no doubt improved year over year. And greater efficiency is exactly what he is looking for out of his basketball team on both ends of the floor. IU finished the 2019-20 campaign No. 65 nationally in KenPom adjusted offensive efficiency and No. 26 on the defensive end. Obviously the team needs to make greater strides on offense, but the Hoosiers did…

Peyton Hendershot was on top of the world, reaching new milestones in his promising young career. But it wasn’t long before he got his first helping of humble pie. The first of many in 2020. At the Gator Bowl on Jan. 2 Hendershot was busy re-writing the IU football record books. Against Tennessee the 6-foot-4 Hendershot was able to set the IU season receiving marks for tight ends with 52 catches and 622 yards. But even as he was setting those records, the trouble began. At least his early problems were not of his own doing. Hendershot played through a…

No one has been with fourth year IU head coach Archie Miller in Bloomington longer than Race Thompson. It may not seem that way, because until 2020, we didn’t see much of the 6-foot-8 forward. The Plymouth, Minn. based Miller recruit arrived in Bloomington in 2017 along with Tom Crean recruit Al Durham. Thompson and Durham are the lone holdovers from Miller’s first Indiana team. Thompson redshirted his first year, and a severe concussion cost him almost the entire 2018-19 campaign. Almost an afterthought heading into 2019-20, Thompson started to emerge late in the season. His trendlines are still pointing…
