The Minnesota Golden Gophers will look to bounce back from a loss to Michigan State last Wednesday when they take on the Indiana Hoosiers on Monday evening in Bloomington at 5:30 p.m. CT.
The Gophers enter the contest losers of three of their last four games after getting off to a 5-1 start on the 2024-25 campaign. Indiana has won three straight contests since losing back-to-back games to Louisville and Gonzaga.
This season, the Hoosiers are being led by talented forward Malik Reneau who is averaging 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game while shooting 58.9% from the field. Fellow forward Mackenzie Mgbako is also averaging over 15.0 points per game at 15.3 while also averaging 5.3 rebounds a night. Center Oumar Ballo and guard Myles Rice both are averaging over 10 points a contest as well.
As a team, the Hoosiers are shooting at a 50.3% clip this season including 36.5% from three-point range.

PREDICTION: Indiana 74 - Minnesota 66
This is an efficient Indiana team offensively that Minnesota is going up against on Monday and while the Gophers defensively have been solid this season, their struggles on offense continue to be a major concern. Getting Mike Mitchell back against Michigan State seemed to boost the offense, we'll see if there's a similar boost today. That being said, the Gophers team will have to begin showing more for us to pick them in this type of game this season. Ultimately, the Hoosiers offense will be too much for the Gophers to keep up with in on Monday.
