Minnesota, a team that is supposedly good at basketball, defeated Drake 68-67 at Williams Arena. Drake is not a good basketball team. Jordan Murphy led all scorers with 24 points.
Richard Pitino described this game as like going to the dentist. I think that’s unfair to most dentists. This game was like watching this scene from Marathon Man.
Is it safe to watch Minnesota basketball if they play like this? Honestly, I’m not sure. Jordan Murphy had another double double because that is what Jordan Murphy does. He finished with 24 points and 18 rebounds, though tonight had five turnovers because sure that was the game tonight.
