Jan 12, 2012 - The Minnesota Golden Gophers have gotten off to a rough start in Big Ten play at 0-4, and tonight's trip to Assembly Hall will not be an easy one as the Indiana Hoosiers have made their home court a fortress once again. The Hoosiers will attempt to stay in a deadlock for second place in the Big Ten at 8 p.m. tonight on Big Ten Network. The Hoosiers have gotten off to a hot start thanks to torrid three-point shooting:

The Hoosiers have acquitted themselves well in their victories, but the Hoosier's recent propensity to cough up more turnovers than they cause is starting to worry me (conference foes have 10 more steals than IU through 4 games). Granted, the competition has been pretty tough, and IU has hung with some good teams in terms of rebounding, earning free-throws, overall shooting%, and assists. Statistically, tho, it's pretty cut and dried that IU is competing with the other top teams because they've been shooting threes so well.

Indiana's game tonight comes on the eve of a rematch with Ohio State in Columbus this weekend.
