On the topic of openings, Miller created a bit of confusion on his radio show last week with longtime radio voice Don Fischer.

The NCAA Tournament hopes of the loser of this one are going to take a big blow.…

That’s where Archie Miller’s frustration with his third Indiana team has taken him this winter. As he said on Sunday, it isn’t just the losses, it’s how…
