About Indiana State
Today's game pairs a .500 team that stresses defense (Miami) against a sub-.500 team that has lost 10 of its last 11 (Indiana State). The Sycamores have been experimenting with their starting lineups lately.
RedHawk facts
Miami and Indiana State have a common opponent. The Illinois State Redbirds (who are in last place in the Missouri Valley Conference) smothered Miami, 64-40, on Dec. 5. The Redbirds lost to Indiana State, 54-50, on Jan. 6, but avenged that loss on Wednesday with a 68-53 win over the Sycamores.
Coles' take
"We were so tentative in the first half against (Kent State's) traps. Their energy covered up for some holes (on defense) that might have been there." — MU coach Charlie Coles on the RedHawks' 61-45 loss Wednesday at Kent State
