MINNEAPOLIS -- Watching his first 10 shots ricochet off the rim didn't deter Akeem Springs, and letting Indiana take the lead down the stretch didn't rattle Minnesota.
The Gophers have sure grown up this month.
Springs followed his own missed 3-pointer with a flip from the baseline with 3 seconds left that lifted Minnesota to a 75-74 victory over Indiana on Wednesday night to hand the Hoosiers their fourth straight loss and give the Gophers their fourth consecutive win.
After driving through the defense to the top of the key, James Blackmon Jr. pulled up for a 3-point try at the buzzer that banged off the backboard.
