Minnesota defeated Green Bay 99-69 to open the season at Williams Arena. If you were nonpartisan, then this game had everything: dunks, alley-oops, heinous three-point shooting, a brief foray into extreme stupidity on both ends of the floor, an All-Big 10 PG, and at the end just missing triple digits.
I will not go in-depth on the flow of the game other than to say that Minnesota beat the tar out of Green Bay in the first half, forgot how to play for about 14 minutes of the second, before comfortably strolling to a thirty point lead. The most important takeaway from this game is that the Gophers won, and no one was injured.
