Indiana is coming off of a terrific road win on Friday night against Xavier and head back to Indianapolis to take on Miami (OH) in Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Travis Steele, former Xavier head coach, is in his first year at Miami and brings the Redhawks into this matchup at 1-3 on the season. They have faced one power-five opponent in what was a seven point loss to Georgia. Miami comes in as a struggling offensive team -- ranked 294th in the country shooting 40.9 percent from the field, 305th in three-point percentage at 27.7 percent and 235th in adjusted offensive efficiency with a 97.2 rating.
