House Report: Gophers battle with No. 10 Miami, fall 86-81

It’s not often the Barn is entertained with a top-15 matchup in late November. Miami and Minnesota was a treat for the fans in attendance and may be a preview for a future March matchup. Dewan Huell led the Miami with 23 points as the Hurricanes shot 56 percent in the second half. The Gophers clearly missed guard Dupree McBrayer, who was out with a leg infection. Amir Coffey dropped 23 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Gophers fell to the No. 10 ranked, Hurricanes, 86-81.
