Hint: It’s gotten worse, not better

Indiana's best path to an upset was to drag Michigan's shooting down to their level and gain the edge with rebounding and drawing fouls. The Wolverines shoved the Hoosiers into the foliage and walked that path themselves in the first half, then ran away in the second to bring their magic number for a Big Ten title down to one. A ragged game stayed close for the first 12 minutes before Hunter Dickinson answered a Trayce Jackson-Davis poster dunk with one of his own. Led by Franz Wagner in full attack mode, Michigan widened the gap by getting into the bonus early and forcing the issue...

BLOOMINGTON – Race Thompson had 11 points, six rebounds and two blocks and senior Al Durham chipped in 15 points, but No. 3 Michigan was too much for Indiana, which fell 73-57 this afternoon.

BLOOMINGTON – Indiana is holding on to the monster, but only barely.

Indiana got a crucial win Wednesday night in Bloomington, knocking off the Minnesota Golden Gophers by a score of 82-72. This was a game IU had to have, given its position on the NCAA Tournament bubble and the strength of the remaining schedule. They have a similar game Saturday at Assembly Hall, as the Michigan State Spartans come to town. After that Indiana, now 12-9, will travel to Rutgers and Purdue, as well as host third-ranked Michigan. Just one win out of the final four likely puts the Hoosier into the Big Dance.  Here are some notes, numbers, and trends from the win over Minnesota.
