per Amelia:
Defense looked better, but time will tell. Against Indiana’s dynamic offense (albeit on an off-night) and thrust into bad situations, the Gophers kind of held their own. In the firsts half, center Bakary Konate got into early foul trouble, but Minnesota still managed to contain the Hoosiers and got some huge blocks at the rim despite the undersized lineup. There weren’t so many of the blow-bys we’ve come to get used to and less head-banging mistakes by players who aren’t exerting acceptable effort. There were still plenty of hiccups, of course, but Minnesota wasn’t completely abused inside and out as it was in blowout losses to Northwestern and Nebraska. A turning point? Way too soon to say. But a step in the right direction? Maybe. If anything, it probably lends a little more confidence to a team that was severely lacking it.
