Archie Miller after Stanford upset win: ‘The sky was falling everywhere’ but Indiana’s locker room
Published:
This is a pretty impressive turnaround from Indiana.
One day after getting blown out by Texas, the Hoosiers turned around and defeated a solid Stanford squad on 79-63 on Wednesday afternoon.
After the game, coach Archie Miller explained how his team was able to pull that off. He described his squad as “low maintenance” and said “the sky was falling everywhere” except the Indiana locker room after the Texas loss.
Archie Miller says he has a "low-maintenance group" and the "sky was falling everywhere" but not in IU's locker room.
Also, "Trayce needed to get lit up. He needed to get going. We aren't going to be where we needed to play unless he plays at a high level." #iubb

It also helped that Trayce Jackson-Davis went off for a game-high 31 points. Jackson-Davis scored those points efficiently, too — he was 10-of-16 from the field and 11-of-14 from the free throw line.
As a team, Indiana shot 52.9 percent from the field and made 20 free throws.
Defensively, the limited Stanford’s potential lottery pick in Ziaire Williams to just four points on 1-of-10 shooting. It was a tremendous defensive effort as the Cardinal shot just 35.8 percent from the floor.
Indiana is now 2-1 on the season and will close out its nonconference slate with Florida State, Alabama A&M and Butler.
