Quick thoughts on a 72-67 win over Minnesota:
How it happened: After back-to-back road losses to Purdue and Illinois, Indiana looked like a team ready to get back on track early on in Wednesday’s game. The Hoosiers raced to an 11-4 lead, which forced Minnesota coach Richard Pitino to burn a timeout. The lead grew all the way to 10 at 25-15 by the 7:40 mark on a layup by Devonte Green. That cushion wouldn’t last long, however, as Minnesota got hot from the perimeter and Indiana relaxed defensively to close the half. In the final 3:05 of the first half, the Gophers splashed in three 3-pointers and went to the locker room leading 34-32.
