The Gophers survived a mild scare Tuesday night against NJIT and didn’t have the cakewalk that so many predicted. I guess it goes to show that in college basketball there are no gimmes, and even the most unassuming games can quickly turn into a trap. Heck, even Ohio State lost to Florida Atlantic that night, so there might have been a full moon or something. Still, after last year, we’ll take any win we can get, even if it means a single-digit victory over an A-Sun team.
Minnesota will try to shake off the lackadaisical effort and get back to business against Georgia Southern tonight.
