Road Warriors

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Jan. 26,2004 12:50 a.m.

MINNEAPOLIS -- For most of Saturday's first half against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Hoosiers looked unstoppable. But then Minnesota coach Dan Monson inserted a zone press and defense that shook up the Hoosier offense, and the Gophers were able to close the half on a 10-0 run to cut the IU lead to eight. Minnesota (8-9, 0-5 Big Ten) continued the zone and the press in the second half as the Gophers battled back to take a four-point lead late in the game. "It really screwed us up at the end of the first half," sophomore forward Sean Kline said. "They got some turnovers off of it. It's a tough zone, and they're really big, lanky and quick. But I thought in the second half we did a great job of limiting our turnovers and looking to the middle and the gaps to make plays." Monson took off the press with the Gophers leading by four with less than four minutes to play. IU coach Mike Davis said removing the press was a good idea by Monson.
