After playing a game that at times could have been uncharitably compared to a elementary school pick up game, the Gophers emerged victorious 75-74 over Indiana. Akeem Springs followed his shot and was rewarded with the winning layup. Nate Mason led all Minnesota scorers with 30 points. Jordan Murphy had his third straight double double and Amir Coffey continued to play like a veteran.
I’ll be honest, last night was incredibly sloppy. To me, the Gophers looked like a team playing at half pace. Perhaps the toll of the last week hurt their energy, but the team as a whole missed a lot of open opportunities on offense throughout the game.
