BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana has a few notable designations on the Big Ten availability report ahead of Monday's game against Minnesota.

Sophomore guard Gabe Cupps is listed out, so he'll miss his third straight game. Cupps didn't score in his first four games on four attempts from the field, but he totaled three assists, two steals and rebounds. Without Cupps, Indiana will still have a deep group of guards in Myles Rice, Kanaan Carlyle, Trey Galloway, Bryson Tucker and Anthony Leal.

Senior center Oumar Ballo is listed questionable. He's coming off a huge game in the Hoosiers' 76-57 win over Miami of Ohio on Friday, putting up 14 points, 18 rebounds, six assists and two blocks. He's averaging 12.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.1 blocks per game on 67.7% shooting. If Ballo can't play, that would likely mean more minutes for Langdon Hatton.

Cupps and Ballo were the only Hoosiers on the report, which means sophomore guard Kanaan Carlyle is available for Monday's game. Carlyle missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury, but he started Indiana's first six games and averaged 4.5 points on 27% shooting.
