With Minneapolis hosting the Final Four, Gophers’ forward Jordan Murphy had the chance to step on the court in front of local fans. Murphy was battling through back spasms during the Gophers’ 70-50 loss to Michigan State in the NCAA Tournament. Murphy played just four minutes in his final college game, but was healthy enough to suit up for the Reese’s College All-Star Game at U.S. Bank Stadium.
It was an excellent opportunity for Murphy, who finished his career as the top rebounder in program history. He ranks second all-time in total points and cemented his legacy as one of the top players to ever wear maroon and gold.
