Minnesota lost to Indiana 84-79 on Senior Night at Williams Arena. The Gophers are now 13-14 on the season and 4-14 in Big Ten play. Payton Willis led all scorers in his last game at the Barn.
There were three themes throughout this game. First, Minnesota’s inability to shoot for much of the first 30 minutes meant that this game looked to a be a runaway victory for Indiana. The Gophers were down 40-33 at halftime after a Payton Willis buzzer beater, but realistically should have been down at least 14 points. Indiana extended that lead to 25 points through thirty minutes of the game.
