BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana continued its winning ways at home on Friday night, leading the Minnesota Golden Gophers (12-4, 3-2 in Big Ten) from start to finish and coming away with a 74-62 win.
It was a much needed performance for the Hoosiers, who struggled Tuesday at Rutgers with an ugly 66-57 loss. They needed a bounce-back performance — and got it.
Freshman forward Mackenzie Mgbako led the team in scoring with 19 points. Mgbako also contributed four rebounds and two assists. Center Kel'el Ware had a huge night and a double-double with 17 points, 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks. Sophomore forward Malik Reneau added 16 points for the Hoosiers, along with six rebounds and two assists. Senior guard Trey Galloway also put up 10 points.
