In Archie Miller’s Bloomington tenure, it’s evident that Indiana hasn’t always displayed unshakable cohesiveness. Miller hasn’t tried to keep it a secret, either.
Last season, in early December, Indiana suffered a 20-point beat down at the hands of Wisconsin, marking their first loss of the year. The lethargic Hoosiers were dominated in all facets of the contest, making only 42 percent of their shots from the field and 65 percent from the free throw line.
Then-junior captain Al Durham did all he could to jump start the team’s lack of urgency. At a timeout, he yelled and threw his hands toward the scoreboard, hoping to stress the importance of the situation.
