The Indiana basketball program has had many great point guards, but who takes home the honor as the best? Here are your top five in IU history.

Point guards are the most important piece to a team, especially a winning team, and Indiana basketball has had many all-time greats come through their program.

Indiana University has had its fair share of legends throughout the decades, even through some down years in the program’s history. The point guard position is especially one spot where Indiana has produced some gems.

Whether they be scorers, passers, or both, some of the all-time best Indiana players have been in the backcourt.

Though most of the top level guards to come through the program were during Bob Knight’s tenure, there have still been a handful of talented guards in the years after he left.

Looking through the storied history of Indiana, it’s tough to narrow a list down to just five players, but we tried to give the rankings based on accolades, team success and their overall skills during their time at Indiana.

Here are my top five point guards in Indiana history in terms of legacy. If you disagree with my list, that’s fine, but just keep in mind: I was born in 1998.
