Two hard knocks from head coach Archie Miller on Indiana’s postgame press conference table signaled hope that his backcourt will be healthy soon for the first time this season.
The first three games Devonte Green was out with a hamstring injury. Saturday night against Troy, Rob Phinisee had strep throat and was held out.
But the pieces are getting closer. Phinisee’s sickness will pass, and for the first time this season, Green took the floor for the Hoosiers en route to a 100-62 victory.
Green hasn’t practiced much over the last month with the hamstring injury and Miller said he only practiced a few days leading into Saturday’s game.
