Jordan Murphy is moving up in the world, and more people are starting to take notice. Among the bevy of all-conference accolades the Gophers received today, Murphy was named to the All-Big Ten third team, which further locks in his position as one of the conference’s best players.
Murphy was one of the few highlights on last year’s squad, rolling to a very successful freshman season and a place on the all-conference honorable mention list. Though he had an up and down season this year, he finished very strong and ended up third on the team in scoring, first in rebounds and second in FG%.
