Indiana found its identity on defense and held Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan State below 70 points, winning each game by 13 or more. Trayce Jackson-Davis has looked like an All-American in the last three games, averaging 28 points and 12 rebounds.
Despite Minnesota's 1-7 conference record, Indiana assistant coach Yasir Rosemond knows any road game in the Big Ten will be a challenge.
“They’re not a bad team. It’s the Big Ten, anybody can beat anybody in the Big Ten,”Rosemond said. “We can’t go to Minnesota and lay an egg because we just beat three really good teams, three tournament teams.”
