DIPRIMIO: IU Aims to Test Depth Against No. 18 Illinois

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- How do you bounce back from a disappointing defeat?

Play better, of course

Play the bench, by necessity.

Indiana coach Archie Miller left open that possibility in the wake of Wednesday night's home loss to Northwestern, and Saturday afternoon's game at No. 18 Illinois (6-3).

"We are going to have to bite the bullet get a little deeper, play more guys to be able to sustain the depth that we are going to need throughout the season defensively," he said.

Seven Hoosiers played at least 15 minutes against Northwestern, with guard Armaan Franklin (36), forward Trayce Jackson-Davis (35) and guard Aljami Durham (35) getting the brunt of it.
