Quick thoughts on an 84-79 win at Minnesota:
How it happened: Indiana came out firing on Sunday evening at Williams Arena. Minnesota went under screens, played some zone and the Hoosiers took advantage. Indiana connected on five of its first seven attempts from beyond the 3-point arc. The Hoosiers led by 12 at 27-15 at the 10:17 mark of the first half. But Minnesota got hot to close out the half and Indiana had to settle for a 40-33 lead at intermission. In the first half, Xavier Johnson’s 16 points were key as IU scored 1.
