Fourteen months ago, Indiana head coach Archie Miller traveled southeast of Bloomington, away from Assembly Hall and into the countryside.
Miller was making his way to Huber’s Orchard and Winery, which sits 20 minutes outside Louisville near the Indiana-Kentucky line, for an annual Indiana basketball fan event. He was greeted by miles of lush green vineyards, coy ponds and scenic white barns. A feast of fried chicken, green beans, corn and chicken and dumplings was served to those in attendance.
It was there in late May of 2019 that Miller updated basketball fans about the program’s plan for summer workouts.
