What Indiana coach Tom Allen had to say at his regular Monday press conference

It’s pretty nice to be Indiana coach Tom Allen right now.

He’s got the Hoosiers off to their best start in Big Ten play since 1991 while the team is the highest it’s been ranked in more than 30 years.

All of this being said, if Indiana falls to Michigan on Saturday, that positive momentum likely comes to a screeching halt. The Hoosiers and Allen have a chance to really make a statement Saturday.

As Indiana prepares for this big-time matchup, Allen spoke with the media at his regularly scheduled Monday press conference.

Tom Allen on OC Nick Sheridan: "The thing about Nick is, he's always steady. I'm not that way, as you know. I'm pretty high-strung. He's a good complement for me." #iufb

Tom Allen says IU doesn't know for sure whether Miles Marshall or David Ellis will be back this weekend. TBD before Saturday. #iufb

Allen also said he told CB Reese Taylor afterward that he thought Saturday was Taylor's best performance of his college career thus far. #iufb
