I will Never Play With Indiana’s If Mike Woodson Is Coach Talented Star Join Rivals Over Indiana

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — — Kel’el Ware scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds,reserve Anthony Leal scored a career-high 13 points, and Indiana withstood Iowa’s second-half rally and held on to beat the Hawkeyes 74-68 on Tuesday night to end a three-game losing streak.

Indiana entered having lost three of four. Indiana hadn’t beaten Iowa since Feb. 7, 2021, in a 67-65 contest. It was Indiana coach Mike Woodson’s first victory over Iowa. Northwestern remains the lone Big Ten team a Woodson-led squad hasn’t beaten.

Ware finished shooting 8 for 10 and 6 for 11 from the foul line. A former Mr. Basketball in high school from Bloomington, Indiana, Leal entered averaging 1.8 points per game and had only scored 14 points this season and just 16 points over the last two seasons. MacKenzie Mgbako added 11 points for Indiana.

Payton Sandfort had 26 points, Tony Perkins scored 22 and Josh Dix 10 for Iowa.

Gabe Cupps’ 3-pointer with 1:26 left gave Indiana (13-8, 5-5) the lead for good at 69-68 with 1:26 left.

Sandfort’s off-balance, catch-and-shoot jumper off a cross-court inbound pass from Owen Freeman gave Iowa its last lead at 68-66.

With 2:12 remaining, and trailing 66-64, Indiana’s Xavier Johnson drove the lane, tried to throw down a dunk but got fouled by Ladji Dembele at the rim. In the contact, Johnson’s feet came out from under him and he appeared to land on his left hand and stayed on the floor clearly writhing in pain before leaving for the locker room.

Trey Galloway made the two foul shots in place of Jackson to tie it.

Sandfort’s 3-pointer with 13:08 left before halftime brought Iowa within 19-15 following Indiana’s 15-7 outburst within the first five minutes. But the Hawkeyes went scoreless for seven minutes and Indiana scored 12 to build a 31-15 lead until Sandfort made a pair of foul shots with 6:11 remaining before the break. Indiana led 39-28 at intermission.

The Hawkeyes (12-9, 4-6) — losers of three of four — host Ohio State on Friday. Indiana hosts Penn State on Saturday.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — — Freshman Mackenzie Mgbako scored a season-high 19 points, Kel’el Ware had 17 points and 14 rebounds and Indiana beat Minnesota 74-62 on Friday night to end the Gophers’ seven-game winning streak.

Indiana has won nine of the last 10 matchups with the Gophers, including seven straight. The Hoosiers have also claimed the last eight games against Minnesota in Bloomington.

Indiana scored 11 of the opening 13 points of the game and added a 9-0 spurt, capped by Anthony Walker’s three-point play, to build a 25-8 lead with 12:14 remaining. Mgbako scored 14 points in the first half and Ware added 10 to help the Hoosiers lead 41-31 at the break.

Indiana made 8 of 10 field goals early in the second half — with Ware scoring the first five points of an 11-0 run — to extend its lead to 60-39. Indiana’s lead didn’t drop below 11 points the rest of the way.

Malik Reneau scored 16 points and Trey Galloway added 10 points for Indiana (12-5, 4-2 Big Ten). Xavier Johnson, who was ejected from a game against Rutgers on Tuesday, did not start for Indiana and scored two points in 17 minutes.

Pharrel Payne secured his first double-double of the season with 17 points and 10 rebounds, to go with five blocks, for Minnesota (12-4, 3-2). Dawson Garcia had 14 points and nine rebounds, and Joshua Ola-Joseph scored 12.

Indiana stays home to play No. 1 Purdue on Tuesday. Minnesota hosts Iowa on Monday.
