The Archie Miller era begins tonight as the Indiana University men's basketball team faces Indiana State for its season opener at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
Miller's first season at IU comes after leading the University of Dayton for the past six seasons.
Miller says practice felt a little different this week in anticipation of tonight's game.
"Right now just getting our guys mentally ready to play what I think is a very, very good team here early in the season," Miller says. "Obviously an in-state team. I think we're going to deal with a group that's very, very hungry to beat us."
