Durham, Green and Smith were all significant contributors for the Hoosiers a year ago, all averaging over eight points per game. They’ll bring back plenty of experience for IU, which is key for a team that was relatively young a year ago.
Green averaged 9.4 points per game, third-highest for the team. He also averaged 3.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per contest. Durham averaged 8.3 points and Smith averaged 8.2.
Indiana finished the 2018-19 campaign with a 19-16 record and was 8-12 in B1G play. The Hoosiers swept Michigan State and notched wins over Marquette and Wisconsin, as well.
