Thoughts on a 84-54 win against the Golden Knights:
With Al Durham and Devonte Green sidelined due to injury, and Rob Phinisee seeing limited time as he works back from his lower abdominal injury, Indiana’s backcourt was thin this evening. But it mattered little. Mattered little because the opponent was DII Gannon University, a team a short-handed Indiana Hoosiers team should have no problem beating with ease. Mattered little, too, because freshman Armaan Franklin looks like a college-ready player from the get-go.
Archie Miller described Franklin as “ahead of schedule in terms of his learning curve” during his press availability Monday and that was plain to see this evening.
