When the 2019-20 Indiana basketball schedule was released in late August it did not include any exhibition games. We have since learned that the Hoosiers will play a closed-door scrimmage against Marquette on October 20, and today the program announced that it will play one home exhibition game against Gannon University.

The lights are bright inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Literally of course, that’s true. But now entering his third season as the head basketball coach at Indiana University, Archie Miller has come to better appreciate just how much the figurative “bright lights” transcend every aspect of his program. When it came to finding a replacement for recently departed former assistant coach Ed Schilling, it became important for Miller to find someone that could look directly into those lights — and not blink. “One of the things that I have really learned to appreciate is a fearlessness,” Miller said.
