Bryant powers Indiana to home win
It wasn’t pretty, but Indiana found its way back in the win column Saturday by knocking off Minnesota 74-68 in Assembly Hall.
The win moed the Hoosiers at 18-4 overall and 8-1 in Big Ten play, a half game in front of Iowa. Freshman Thomas Bryant was the star for IU, leading all scorers with 23 points and grabbing eight rebounds.
“It’s challenging, especially when you’re going a little undersized like we were a bit,” Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said. “He really, really hurt us. I thought that Troy Williams really hurt us too with his speed. You can’t simulate their speed. They’re talented and they played hard, they cut fast, they’re really tough.”
