It all came together down the stretch for Indiana on Wednesday night. During a five minute run in the final eight minutes, Indiana got contributions from almost everyone, ran efficient offense, and locked down Minnesota defensively.  For all of their flaws, IU once again showed their resiliance, both coming off a bad loss to Ohio State, and responding to a Minnesota run that had a must win game very much in doubt. In a matter of minutes, the Hoosiers went from the precipice of a season tanking disaster to a strong closing effort that has them close to securing an…

It is Indiana and Minnesota from…

But Robbins is dealing with an ankle injury that slowed him down significantly in Minnesota’s last game…
