Everything went wrong for Indiana that half.....Gordon picked up 3 fouls, barely played.....even DJ picked up 2 and went to the bench.....spent much of the first half with more turnovers than field goals.....Minny was more physical and aggressive.....yet IU is leading by 8 at half.
Minny is really outplaying them, but this is the most explosive IU team in years.....they basically had a two minute stretch where Thomas got a few buckets, they made some stops on the defensive and then Crawford went off, nailing three triples....IU takes an 11-point lead, now 8 at the half.
Dont know what to tell you guys......I hate to shill for my team, but this team can go off and if you subtract a 2-minute stretch, Minny controlled this game.
As a fan, the best part of that explosion was it was w/o Gordon and White on the floor....should be a big confidence boost for the "role" players.
Anyone's ball game still.....Minny will make a run for sure in the second half.......it will be interesting to see what kind of game Gordon has in the second half.....how will he play with the fouls?
