NEWARK, N.J. -- A young Indiana squad beset by injuries will be tested when it faces No. 22 Seton Hall on Wednesday at the Prudential Center.
It's only the fourth meeting between the schools and the first since Indiana (1-1) prevailed 83-69 in 1998. The Hoosiers lead the series 2-1. The Pirates (2-0) notched a win in the 1988 NCAA West Regional semifinal, 78-65, in Denver.
Coach Archie Miller, in his first season with the Hoosiers, has an inexperienced squad that lost its season opener 90-69 to Indiana State. Freshman forward Justin Smith filled in for the injured Juwan Morgan and had 16 points and 12 rebounds in Sunday's bounce-back win over Howard.
