Per Chip:

A night like this provides hope. It provides belief that maybe better days are around the corner.

The Gophers men’s basketball program has wandered through the wilderness for a long time. Way too long, which is why a moment like what unfolded Wednesday night feels like sunrays poking through clouds.

On paper, the Gophers had no business of winning their Big Ten opener against the Indiana Hoosiers.

Riding a three-game losing streak — and not against powerhouse programs either — the Gophers were missing three of their top eight players because of injury, including starting point guard Chansey Willis Jr.

The Hoosiers came to town undefeated and ranked No. 22 nationally.

The Gophers didn’t flinch.


Go Gophers!!
 


Some great in-game coaching by Medved and a terrific "iron five" performance but winning with a bench this thin is just not sustainable. Gotta get those 2 injured guys back soon.
