The Hoosiers didn’t know they would be without head coach Mike Woodson, out with COVID-19, until the morning of the matchup against Minnesota.

Associate head coach Yasir Rosemond, who handled scouting duties for the Gophers, acted as Indiana’s head coach on the bench per Indiana’s protocol in the event of Woodson’s ejection or inability to coach.
