Woodson Pushes Point Guards to Push the Hoosiers

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana will go as far as its point guards will take it.

Coach Mike Woodson preaches it. Xavier Johnson, Rob Phinisee and Khristian Lander buy into it.

The Hoosiers (5-0), who face Marshall (4-1) Saturday night in the finale of the Hoosier Classic, need guards to be aggressive and controlled, and if that seems a contradiction, well, nobody said playing point guard was easy.

Especially under Woodson.

"I've always thought a good or great point guard has got to be able to run offense," Woodson says.
