Indiana Basketball's backcourt might be better than fans originally expected. Markus Burton has struggled with his shooting during the exhibition season and suffered a finger injury against Western Kentucky, but Darian DeVries has provided an encouraging update. Meanwhile, Bryce Lindsay has emerged as one of the Hoosiers' most exciting offensive players. In today's Locked On Hoosiers HIT, Jacob Goins explains why Indiana fans shouldn't write off Markus Burton before the regular season even begins. Burton's struggles are worth discussing, but Lindsay's impressive preseason performances could give DeVries more options than expected. Lindsay scored 26 points against North Carolina and 20 against Western Kentucky, and DeVries has discussed giving him starter-level minutes even if he comes off the bench. What happens if both Burton and Lindsay become major contributors? Could Indiana have one of the Big Ten's most dangerous backcourts? Jacob also discusses Indiana's other guards, the importance of improved perimeter defense, and why the starting lineup may matter less than the combinations DeVries uses throughout games. Do you think Markus Burton and Bryce Lindsay can both thrive in Indiana's backcourt?
