SERIES HISTORY Minnesota leads 37-34 LAST MEETING 12/23/20 – W, 75-54 (Minneapolis) NOTES The Hoosiers will look to start a new win streak on Thursday, coming off a 65-50 loss at No. 6/6 Michigan on Monday night. Graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary paced the team with 16 points, a career-high eight steals and five rebounds. Her eight steals tied for fourth-most in a single game in school history. Indiana remained in the top 10 in both national polls in Week 13. They came in at 5 in the Associated Press Top 25 and No. 6 in the USA Today/WBCA coaches top 25. Their streak in the AP Top 25 stretches to 50 consecutive weeks and 38 consecutive weeks in the coaches poll. In the recent series, IU has won four-consecutive games against the Golden Gophers, including the only meeting last season. It has also won seven of the last eight dating back to the 2015-16 season. Defense continues to be the name of the game for the Hoosiers, who hold teams to 58.2 points per game this season, which rank second in the Big Ten. No opponent has scored over 70 points this season and have defeated three Big Ten foes by 20 points or more. Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes was named to the 2022 Wooden Award Late Season Top 20 on Monday night, announced by the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Holmes was also named to the midseason Top 25 and a 2022 Lisa Leslie Award watch list candidate. UP NEXT The Hoosiers will host Purdue in action on Sunday afternoon.

TheWatShot Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Minnesota women's basketball on Twitter had pictures of the team leaving for Bloomington today. As long as they make it here, the game should be played. Class of '66 Old Fart, Todd41 and Aaron 3 Quote
Aaron Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Essential personnel only tonight (I.E. Families, teams etc.). Basically what happened with every game last year. Game will still be played as IU cannot afford anymore cancellations. Stuhoo, Class of '66 Old Fart and Todd41 2 1 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 3, 2022 Author Posted February 3, 2022 GOOD NEWS! Big thanks to our friends @BigTenNetwork who are making tonight's stream FREE on the B1G+ platform. Stuhoo, Todd41, mamasa and 1 other 2 2 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 4, 2022 Author Posted February 4, 2022 Slow start for our Hoosiers and they trail 21-17 after 1Q. Gulbe with 9 of our 17 and Patberg with 5. Quote
Hoosierfan1901 Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 We are 34-31 now, currently on a 17-10 run Quote
Hoosierfan1901 Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Need to get Holmes back before Iowa Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 4, 2022 Author Posted February 4, 2022 Halftime and we trail 37-36. Gulbe 12p 2r Patbeg 9p 2a Berger 8p 2r 2a C-H 4p 5r 3a Nobody in foul trouble for us. Peterson and Moore-McNeil each with 7 min. off the bench. Need to tighten our defense as Minny shooting 50% FG and 50% on 3s. Quote
Aaron Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Worst half IU has played this yr by a lot outside of Western Michigan game. Bad shot selection, bad defense, poor green beans. Quote
TheWatShot Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Just doesn't look like the same team at all. That 2 week pause might have ruined us. Quote
TheWatShot Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 I think they've scored after every single turnover we've had this quarter. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 4, 2022 Author Posted February 4, 2022 We trail 54-53 with 10 min. left to figure things out and pull out a win. Not sharp at all tonight. Quote
Todd41 Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 I was out to dinner and missed all this mess. The 4th better be better. Quote
TheWatShot Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 We have too many talented upperclassmen to lose a game like this. Really need to step it up. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 4, 2022 Author Posted February 4, 2022 Minny 10-18 on 3s tonight. We're 5-12 which on a normal night 42% wouldn't be that bad. Quote
TheWatShot Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Scalia now 7/10 from deep. Ridiculous. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 4, 2022 Author Posted February 4, 2022 New career high for Gulbe with 26. She's 4-4 on 3s tonight. Todd41 1 Quote
