Oct. 26, 2009 Bloomington, Indiana - Senior guard
Devan Dumes, who led the Hoosiers in scoring during the 2008-09 season, is one of three seniors (
Tijan Jobe and
Steven Gambles) who will enter their second season with the program. The Decatur Central graduate hopes to stay injury free as he finished fourth in the league last season in three-point field goals made per game at 2.5).
Dumes averaged 12.4 points per game and scored a team-high 27 points in the Hoosiers win against Iowa.
Q and A With Devan Dumes What is your responsibility as one of the oldest players on the team? And how can you bridge the gap from last year to this year?
"Bring the intensity on defense, stay focused, keep everybody close, together and concentrated on our task."
What have you seen in practice this far that has really pleased you as far as the direction of the program and how you can compete night in and night out?
"There's still a lot of hard work, but the thing is we have a lot more talent. We had a lot of people that were talented before but now they are showing it a lot more."
Does that take a lot of pressure off you guys like you, Verdell, and Tom who had to carry so much of the scoring load last year that you can just let the game come to you? Dumes Looks For Success In Senior Year
