The Gophers used hot shooting and offensive movement to run past Florida Atlantic for a 95-60 win. Minnesota received a solid performance from Jordan Murphy as he tallied his 14th consecutive double, snatching 14 points and 11 boards. Nate Mason added 17 points on five made three-pointers. The concern shifts to the health of Mason, who was injured early in the second half. He fell awkwardly on his foot and was unable to put weight on his leg when he left the court.
Before his absence, the Gophers opened the game by shooting 8-for-12 from the floor, including multiple three-pointers by point guard Nate Mason.
