Depleted Gophers Battle, But Fall Short to Indiana
1/25/2023 11:02:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Jamison Battle led Minnesota with 20 points, but RV/RV Indiana (14-6, 5-4 B1G) scored the game's final seven points to escape with a 61-57 win over a shorthanded Gophers squad Thursday night at Williams Arena. Minnesota (7-12, 1-8) was limited to seven players in the game, as the Gophers were without starting forward Dawson Garcia, center Pharrel Payne, and guard Braeden Carrington.
Â
Battle scored the first five points of the game for the Gophers, who led 5-1 after his three-pointer at the 18:40 mark. After Indiana grabbed a 12-9 lead with 13:49 remaining, Minnesota responded with a 15-6 run keyed by five points from Jaden Henley for a 24-18 lead at the 6:00 mark. An 8-0 IU run put the Hoosiers back in the lead, and a late three-pointer gave the visitors a 33-30 edge at the break.
Â
The Hoosiers stretched the lead to seven points, but a layup from Henley, a trifecta from Battle, and a jumper from Taurus Samuels tied the score at 47-47 midway through the half, and Battle added another three-pointer to reclaim a 50-49 lead with 8:55 left. Treyton Thompson tied the score at 52-52, and once again, a Battle three put the Gophers ahead by one, 55-54, with 6:22 remaining. A pair of free throws by Samuels gave the Gophers a 57-54 edge at the 3:20 mark, but Indiana closed the game on a 7-0 run to secure the victory.
Thompson finished with eight points and career-highs of eight rebounds and two blocked shots, while Ta'Lon Cooper had seven points, six assists, three rebounds and three steals. Samuels had seven points and tied his career-high with seven boards, and Henley added seven points and four rebounds.
Minnesota heads to Evanston, Ill., to face Northwestern on Saturday, Jan. 28, at 11:00 a.m. CDT on BTN.
