Missy Minear/Indiana Athletics
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Following Indiana's loss to Purdue Jan. 14, IU head basketball coach Archie Miller said his team would take its unexpected week off—the Jan. 17 game at Michigan State was postponed due to COVID issues in East Lansing—and concentrate on getting better defensively.
Whatever Miller used to focus his team worked perfectly vs. Iowa.
The Hoosiers turned in one of the best defensive efforts of the Miller Era in an 81-69 win over the fourth-ranked Hawkeyes, a team that is among the top-scoring programs in college basketball.
