Cody Zeller's stats tonight against the Minnesota Golden Gophers didn't give justice to his contributions thus far this season. He scored 9 PTS.

In addition to those 9 points, he contributed:
7 REB
1 AST
1 BLK
3 STL

With that being stated, this game was not one for anyone to brag about with the Hoosiers falling to the Golden Gophers 77-73. This would be Minnesota's first time beating a #1 ranked team since 1989.

Zeller has been a stand-out player for the Hoosiers this year. Only a sophomore, Zeller leads the team in points and rebounds with:
16.6 PPG     .588 FG% (8th in the country)     .753 FT%
8.1 REB.

He has already surpassed 1,000 points - scoring 1,020 points so far - with 2 more years left at IU. Zeller has been named Big Ten Player of the Week twice this season and was also named a First Team Academic All-American.

Let's hope this sophomore continues to keep up the good work!
