On a night where Indiana was without its captains, it was the freshmen that ignited the Hoosiers to an 84-54 victory over Gannon Tuesday night.
Armaan Franklin got the start at point guard with Devonte Green and Al Durham sidelined. Rob Phinisee wasn’t expected to play but served as someone to relieve Franklin throughout the game.
So, with Franklin running the offense, the true freshman showed poise similar to the type Phinisee displayed last season in his freshman campaign.
At Monday’s press conference, Archie Miller said Franklin would be an important piece for Indiana this season.
