Indiana bends, doesn't break as stellar defense leads Hoosiers to win

Keegan Nickoson • TheHoosier

In my senior year at Indiana studying Sports Media and Sports Journalism. I live for the most outlandish takes on the IU boards. Fat Dan's has the best food in Bloomington.

Indiana's 73-60 win over Minnesota did multiple things: gave IU a winning record in the Big Ten (3-2) and defended home court. Most importantly, however, it solidified their identity as a gritty, defense-first team.

It was clear Minnesota came to Bloomington with one mission: not let Trayce Jackson-Davis beat them.

And, for a half, they succeeded. TJD went into the locker room with only four points, but Indiana led by 10, 39-29.

Indiana's 73-60 win over Minnesota was another display of stellar defense.
