BREAKING NEWS: Indiana’ Mackenzie Mgbako announced his leaving us today after facing…..

Indiana's Mackenzie Mgbako (21) celebrates during the Indiana versus Minnesota men's basketball game at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Friday, Jan. 12, 2024.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Mackenzie Mgbako looked like a man on a mission Friday night.

The 6-foot-8 freshman scored a career-high 19 points as Indiana cruised to a 74-62 win over Minnesota at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, perhaps the Hoosiers’ most complete performance of the season. That’s because when Indiana gets the most out of Mgbako, it’s a completely different team.

Indiana got just two combined points from point guards Gabe Cupps and Xavier Johnson, who came of the bench for the first time in his Indiana career after Tuesday night’s Flagrant 2 foul and subsequent ejection. But that didn’t matter, Friday, largely due to Mgbako’s aggressiveness on offense and improved defense.
