Indiana prepares for date with Minnesota

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WISH) - Indiana basketball heads out on the road tomorrow to face Minnesota after a full week off.  A win in Minneapolis and the team is on cruise control to take home another Big Ten regular season title.

The Gophers have picked up some impressive wins in the Big Ten this season including victories over then-18th ranked Michigan State, and then-12th ranked Illinois, but the team’s been inconsistent.  Tom Crean, however, expects a battle. 

“They present a ton of problems, because they're really, really good,” said Crean.  “They've got some guys who are playing enormously well at home, and we're getting ready for the best Minnesota team. We're getting ready for the kind of Minnesota team that we saw the first time."

Game time is 7pm ET.
