The Minnesota Golden Gophers traveled to Rutgers fresh off a thrilling double overtime win against Iowa on Wednesday night. They managed the fatigue associated with a quick turnaround and rolled past Rutgers for a 72-63 win. Jordan Murphy led the way with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Nate Mason added 16 points and Minnesota managed to hold on in a game where they held a double-digit lead. They squandered similar opportunities earlier in the season against Michigan State, Penn State, and Maryland. Saturday was a different story as the Gophers dominated Rutgers down low to pick up a much-needed road win.
