YES!!!

Notes on a sixty to fifty-seven win for our very own Indiana Hoosiers.
It was not pretty but IU got it done. They win their second straight home game against a ranked opponent. Their second win versus a ranked opponent under Tom Crean. A win that, if Indiana plays well down the stretch, could give the Hoosiers a very, very good shot at an NIT birth. This was great win for the Hoosiers and should build more confidence considering it was without leading scorer, Christian Watford. Watford is out indefinitely with a broken hand that he had surgery on Tuesday. He is out indefinitely but based on the sling and the huge cast, I'd say he's out a while. Now for some stats.
IU didn't have any players with huge games statistically. Pritchard and Jones, who was coming off the bench since this was his first game since January 20th, led IU in scoring with each scoring twelve a piece. Pritchard also tacked on seven rebounds. Jordy Hulls had eight points and six assists including one very impressive one to Oladipo where he threw down a nice dunk and then got a technical for hanging on the rim. Minnesota's Ralph Sampson III had ten points and nine rebounds, Trevor Mbakwe had seven points and nine rebounds, Blake Hoffbarber had fifteen points and missed a three that would have sent the game to OT, and Austin Hollins had thirteen points and five rebounds.
