Eliason ended career as a forgottten Gopher

The Gophers were a 6-8 in the Big Ten and a sizable disappointment when No. 1-ranked Indiana came into Williams Arena on Feb. 26, 2013. Five minutes into the second half, the Hoosiers were leading 44-36 and appeared on the way to a routine victory.

Coach Tubby Smith then waved in center Elliott Eliason and guard Maverick Ahanmisi, and a torch was lit. Ahanmisi hit a three, and then Eliason, firing up the full house on every trip, scored seven points in a row.

The Gophers caught Indiana at 56-all and went forward for a 77-73 victory.
