The three-star recruit is ranked…

If it comes to it, Indiana head coach Archie Miller has a last resort option to get his point guard feeling better and back out on the court. “I told him after the game, grab five Advil, get a piece of tape and tape them all over your body because maybe that’s the only thing we can do is tape it to him and he can absorb it, I don’t know,” Miller said on Monday night after Indiana’s 88-75 win over Louisiana Tech. Miller was of course talking about sophomore Rob Phinisee.   The Lafayette product missed Monday’s game, he missed…
