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…

In each of the last two seasons, IU met Purdue with both teams sporting 5-6 records in a “bucket or bust” must-win scenario for bowl eligibility. In 2019 the dynamics have changed.  The Hoosiers (7-4) are already bowl eligible and the Boilermakers (4-7) cannot get there. After jubilantly peaking to sixth and seventh wins several weeks ago against Nebraska and Northwestern, this year’s Old Oaken Bucket contest against Purdue takes on a new meaning for IU. Breakthrough or bust is overstating where things stand for Indiana, but look at it this way — if IU ends the regular season with…

It was the best of times.  It was the worst of times.  It has become a recurring theme, but yet again the Hoosiers could not put together a complete effort on Monday night. Indiana quite literally seemed to somehow put together some of its best and worst stretches of play this season within the same game in a 88-75 win over Louisiana Tech. In the end the Hoosiers did what they’ve done in all six contests on this young 2019-20 campaign — they won.  IU moves to 6-0 for the first time since the memorable 2012-13 season after it puts…
