The Indiana University men’s basketball team kicked off Big Ten Conference play with a strong 82-67 victory over Minnesota at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. This win marks the Hoosiers’ fourth consecutive victory, with five players scoring in double figures. Head coach Mike Woodson praised the team’s first-half performance but emphasized the need for improvement in the second half. Center Oumar Ballo led the team in scoring with 18 points, while freshman forward Bryson Tucker bounced back from a previous poor performance with a career-high 16 points. Guard Kanaan Carlyle also had a standout game with a season-high 14 points in his return from injury. Despite the win, Woodson highlighted areas such as free throws and avoiding offensive lapses that need work. The team will look to continue their winning streak when they face Nebraska on Friday. Overall, the Hoosiers are off to a strong start in conference play and are focused on making necessary adjustments to maintain their success in upcoming games.
