From one Big Ten team to another.

Max Bielfeldt, who played some important minutes for Michigan last season, announced Tuesday night that he's transferring to Indiana.

Bielfeldt, a Peoria native, had a waiver approved earlier this offseason allowing him to transfer within the conference, and after considering a couple Big Ten teams (as well as Iowa State), he settled on the Hoosiers. He has one more season of eligibility and is immediately eligible.

Bielfeldt, a 6-foot-7 forward, played just a handful of minutes during his first two seasons in Ann Arbor, but after a mass exodus of big men ahead of last season, he played in 30 games, averaging 14 and a half minutes per contest. He averaged five points and about three and a half rebounds per game.

His playing time and impact increased as the season went on, though. He averaged just 6.8 minutes per game in the first five Big Ten games, but that number jumped to 20.2 minutes per game over the Wolverines' final 15 contests. Bielfeldt put up four double-digit scoring performances during Big Ten play.

Bielfeldt's addition is an important one for the Hoosiers, who lost a couple forwards with the dismissals of Devin Davis and Hanner Mosquera-Perea earlier this offseason.
