Indiana basketball improved its backcourt by adding transfers Myles Rice and Kanaan Carlye, hoping to avoid issues that plagued the Hoosiers last season.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana coach Mike Woodson learned the hard way last season that his team’s guard play didn’t cut it.
Johnson’s troubles also forced Trey Galloway to handle point guard duties, and he posted career-highs with 10.6 points and 4.6 assists per game. But this adjustment took away the 3-and-D wing role in which Galloway excelled the previous season, shooting 46.2% from beyond the arc, without having a capable replacement. Add a season-long injury to freshman Jakai Newton and a somewhat unexpected one-and-done season from Jalen Hood-Schifino in 2022-23, and Indiana’s guard depth was depleted.
“I’ve learned in this short period of time that I’ve been in college, you win with guard play. It’s great to have big guys that can play and do the things we’ve had over the last three with the bigs that we’ve coached, but you win with perimeter and guard play – good guard play.” “We brought some pretty good portal players in, I thought, last season, but this year it was wide open,” Woodson said. “It was more wide open in terms of how we evaluated, and we sat down at the end and I kind of treated it like I was back in the NBA.”
Rice was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and made the All-Pac 12 first team last year, leading Washington State to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2008 as a No. 7 seed. Across 25.7 minutes per game, Carlyle averaged 11.5 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 32% from 3-point range and 77.6% from the free throw line.
