For most of the offseason, the talk about the Indiana basketball program was around the frontcourt and the depth that Archie Miller finally had in order to compete atop the Big Ten conference. Now, the best way to move forward may have nothing to do with size or depth, but putting the most skilled lineup on the floor at all times.
When Joey Brunk transferred over from Butler, everyone was excited about the toughness and leadership he would bring to a relatively young and inexperienced team. While the toughness has been there for the most part, and the leadership has shown at times, Brunk’s fit next to Trayce Jackson-Davis in the Indiana lineup may not be what’s best moving forward.
