The Gophers came crashing back to earth on Monday against Boston College, losing 68-56 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge and showing very little resolve in a game that wasn’t even as close as the final score indicated.
Indeed, Minnesota continued its putrid offensive performance, shooting below 30% from the field and struggling to find offensive consistency for the third game in a row. They avoided meltdowns out west as part of the Vancouver Showcase, but the chickens finally came home to roost against the Eagles when they finally, almost literally couldn’t score.
It’s been a long, tiring stretch for the team that hasn’t played a home game since Nov.
