BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) --- Sam Alexis scored 17 of his 23 points in the first

Wednesday night that ended the Hoosiers' four-game losing streak.
Lamar Wilkerson added 16 points for Indiana (18-12, 9-10 Big Ten). Tucker
DeVries chipped in with 13 points and Nick Dorn scored 11. The three combined
for 10 of the Hoosiers' 24 3-point attempts.

(31 of 54) overall. Alexis and DeVries each grabbed nine of their 37 rebounds.
Cade Tyson scored 21 points and Isaac Asuma added 13 for Minnesota (14-16,
7-12). The Golden Gophers shot 26% (6 of 23) in the second half and 32% overall.
Indiana built a double-digit lead early before Minnesota pulled within three
points midway through the first half. The Hoosiers ended the half on a 10-2
surge that included Wilkerson's 100th 3-pointer of the season, followed by a
DeVries 3-pointer and dunk for a 43-28 lead at the break.
