2. Chase Audige – Senior Guard – #1

2022-23 stats: 14 GP, 32.2 MIN, 15.8 PPG, 3.3 REB, 3.0 AST, 2.6 STL, 39.9 FG%, 36.7 3P%

In Audige’s three career games against the Hoosiers, he’s averaging 16.0 points on 45.0 percent shooting from the field, 30.0 percent shooting from beyond the arc, and 2.7 steals, winning two of three games against Indiana.

After an overall down season statistically last season, Audige is averaging a career-high in points, assists, three-pointers made, free throws made and attempted, and steals, while also leading his team to a strong record overall.

Over his last five games, Audige is averaging 21.6 points on 44.4 percent shooting from the field and 38.4 percent from deep, along with locking down defensively with 2.6 steals per game and a 28-point and 5-steal performance against DePaul on December 17.

It should be Miller Kopp matched up with Audige on Sunday, and if Kopp doesn’t show up on the defensive end of the floor, Galloway needs to be put in almost immediately to at least both Audige enough to take him out of his rhythm.
