The Gophers handed the IU men's basketball team its second loss of the season Thursday night in Assembly Hall.
With IU playing their first game since moving into the Associated Press top ten, the Hoosiers were down nine points to a Minnesota team that came in 0-4 in conference play. But an 8-0 IU rally got the Hoosiers back in it as they now trail 37-34 at halftime.
The Hoosiers take on the Golden Gophers of Minnesota at 8 p.m. Follow along with the IDS basketball reporters as they discuss the game here.
The men's basketball team will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers today in the first home game of the semester.The Hoosiers (15-1, 3-1) will try to make it three straight wins against the Gophers (12-5, 0-4) on Thursday in their first home game since returning from winter break.
It wasn’t the typical way for Matt Roth to get going. Roth got an open look from 3-point range, the place he had scored 82 percent of his points. But instead of pulling the trigger, Roth saw Penn State guard Nick Colella closing out on him and pump-faked. He got Colella in the air, drew the foul and knocked down three free throws for a five-point lead at halftime.
The Golden Gophers almost had me fooled. Sporting a 12-1 record entering Big Ten season, Minnesota seemed like it could actually be a contender.
The latest Associated Press poll has IU at No. 7, marking the first time the Hoosiers have cracked the top 10 since Jan. 21, 2008.
