DIPRIMIO: Guard Play Looms Large as IU Faces Rutgers


IUHoosiers.com

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It's all about the guards. Archie Miller knows it. He's let the Indiana Hoosiers know it. A NCAA tourney bid might ride on it.

Knowing is one thing entering Wednesday night's game at Rutgers.

Doing is another.

"The biggest thing in this game is going to be our guard play," the IU coach said. "We have to play with 10 or less turnovers to have a chance."

IU (12-10 overall) averages 12.2 turnovers a game. It had 11 in last Saturday's loss to Michigan State, but seven in the second half, most due to poor Hoosier decisions rather than Spartan defensive nastiness.
