Archie Miller speaks of opportunities.
During his postgame media sessions he often points to the chances for significant wins provided by playing in the Big Ten Conference.

But in the wake of a 74-62 home loss to Purdue, Indiana’s sixth-straight defeat to its arch-rival and fourth-straight loss overall, the opportunities referenced by Miller seemed as far away as ever before.
A day that showcased Indiana basketball’s past ended with a stark reminder of its present: A team devoid of answers on offense and at times painfully soft on defense.
