Vincennes University head coach Todd Franklin expects this year’s group to get back to the physical brand of basketball that has defined the program throughout the years. After playing smaller and spreading the floor more last season, Franklin has a roster built with size and strength across the board. The plan is to use that physicality on the glass, establish a presence inside and make opponents feel them in the paint. “We’re going to have to be a very physical, strong, rebounding, beat-you-up-in-the-paint kind of basketball team.” With size throughout both the perimeter and frontcourt, Franklin believes this group is built to embrace a familiar Vincennes identity. “We’re going to have to be a lot more back to the old days — physical.”
