Previous season

The Hoosiers started off another strong campaign by going 11–1 before dropping back-to-back games in late December 2019 and early January 2020. During the bulk of the conference season, IU was able to win most of their home games (7–3), while stealing a few road games (2–8) to end their final season with an overall record of 20–12 and a conference record of 9–11. Indiana entered the Big Ten Tournament as the 11-seed where they faced the 14-seeded Nebraska Cornhuskers. The first round matchup ended in an 89–64 IU victory, staging a second round matchup with 6-seed Penn State. However, on the morning of March 12, 2020, the Big Ten Conference announced that it would be cancelling the remaining tournament games due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Following suit, that afternoon, the NCAA announced that it was cancelling all winter and spring championships.[2] This announcement officially, and abruptly, ended the Hoosiers' season, where they were expected to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 4 years.

Recruiting class

Miller continued to implement his "inside-out" approach to recruiting by adding two more highly ranked recruits from Indiana: Trey Galloway and Anthony Leal, who was named 2020 Indiana Mr. Basketball on April 10, 2020. With Leal earning this honor, he made three straight Indiana Mr. Basketball's to attend IU, the first time to happen in the storied history of the program.[3] In addition to these recruits, Miller also nabbed the New Hampshire Gatorade Player of Year in 4-star recruit, Jordan Geronimo.[4] On May 18, 2020, it was announced that Khristian Lander, who was originally a 2021-22 commit, was reclassifying to 2020. He stated that a big factor in his decision was the chance to play with Trayce Jackson-Davis and "dominate the Big Ten."[5]
