The “drastic changes” at which Archie Miller hinted after Indiana’s loss to Minnesota weren’t so much a matter of reinvention as they were of rediscovery.
There were few significant systematic overhauls, no dramatic adjustments in the rotation or message-sending changes to the starting lineup. The only drastic change was in the way IU approached the game and the manner in which it competed throughout. Indiana was almost unrecognizable from the listless team that took the floor Saturday against Minnesota, and despite an eventual 48-46 loss, looked as though it belonged – really, sincerely belonged – on the same court as Purdue.
