Filip Rebrau010da and Payton Sandfort led the way with dueling 20-point performances. Rebrau010da added 10 rebounds - four on offense - and four assists in his 9th double-double (third in the Big Ten according to a BTN graphic). Kris Murray (16 points), Tony Perkins (12), and Connor McCaffery (11) joined them in double figures.
