Minnesota, lead by their trio of Mason, McBrayer and Murphy dominated Nebraska 88-73, earning their 8th straight win and getting to 11 conference victories for the first time since the 1989-90 season (apologies to 1996-97). Nate Mason lead all scorers with 25 points, Jordan Murphy had 20 points to go with 11 boards and Dupree McBrayer.
“He was one of the best additions that we’ve ever had.”
Points in the paint was total domination by Minnesota’s offense. The Gophers absolutely destroyed Nebraska in the paint. Of their first 50 points, 30 of them came in the paint and 12 from the free throw line.
