(Geo) Baker, (Jacob) Young, (Caleb) McConnell, (Montez) Mathis, those guys are all hard-attacking driving guys.'' "Ron Harper at the four is a tough matchup for anybody. They have tremendous one-on-one players, and that's how they play,'' Miller said. "Every team is different, but Rutgers is a driving team. Starting guards Al Durham and Rob Phinisee really struggled keeping the ball in front of them, and reserves Khristian Lander and Jerome Hunter really struggled on the defensive end, too. It was a huge issue in the 74-70 loss in January. They are in attack mode from the first tip to the last possession.

He causes such huge problems for Indiana's offense because he can guard Jackson-Davis without help. Johnson is a tremendous defensive center, certainly the best in the conference and maybe the best in the country. He had his first two shots blocked by Rutgers center Myles Johnson, who had five blocks in the game. He only scored four points in the 59-50 loss to Rutgers a year ago, and this year he made just 4-of-10 shots and scored only 13 points. He's averaging 20.2 points per game this season, but in two games against Rutgers, he's really struggled. Trayce Jackson-Davis is one of the top offensive threats inside in the country.
