To call this Indiana team the “Romeo Langford Show” would be to neglect to the deep, talented roster assembled by head coach Archie Miller—with some help from Tom Crean—in Bloomington over the past couple years.
Langford is the Hoosiers’ best player, there’s no disputing that. The 3,000-point scorer at New Albany High School, 100 miles south of Indiana’s campus, was a recruiting coup for Miller that immediately changed the outlook of the 2018-19 season for IU. In a decisive 96-73 win over No. 24 Marquette on Wednesday night, Langford was everything he was advertised to be as a top-5 player in this year’s freshman class.
