When you're a team grasping desperately for anything positive, like the Gophers after back-to-back 25-point losses, going into halftime tied with Indiana was a great sign Saturday.
The home crowd finally had something to cheer about for once, but Minnesota's losing streak still extended to seven games after falling to the Hoosiers 70-63 at Williams Arena.
Indiana and Minnesota are two teams going in completely different directions.
The Hoosiers (15-3), who got their 10th straight win Saturday, entered the game in a tie for the Big Ten lead with a 4-0 record, coming off a 25-point win against Ohio State.
