The Minnesota Golden Gophers extended their winning streak to four games Wednesday after a 75-74 win over the Indiana Hoosiers. Nate Mason led the way with 30 points and Amir Coffey added 17 points (all in the second half). A last second follow-up by Akeem Springs propelled the Gophers to a last-second victory. Minnesota has now improved their Big Ten record to 7-6, drastically improving their NCAA tournament chances.
The Rundown
It was a sloppy start for the Gophers, who shot just 1-for-8 (13%) from the floor at the first TV timeout. Akeem Springs was 0-for-4 from the field and Nate Mason was keeping the Gophers in the game, scoring six of the first ten Minnesota points.
