When Ohio State basketball fans wake up at night, they will be thinking about Marcus Carr. The Gophers’ guard haunted the Buckeyes all season. Earlier in the year, Carr scored a career-high 35 points in an 84-71 win at Williams Arena.

On Thursday night, the redshirt sophomore dominated in crunch time. Carr had a team-high 21 points and seven rebounds in a 62-59 road victory. His efficient performance helped Minnesota win its first game in Columbus since 2005.

While playing 36 minutes, Carr posted game-highs in efficiency (21) and game score (15.4). For a detailed explanation of these stats, see the glossary below.
