Minnesota junior forward Jordan Murphy, after a season-opening 92-77 win Friday night over USC Upstate in which he went off for a career-high 35 points and 15 rebounds, talked about the balance of his team's starting lineup.
"We have so many weapons that it will be hard for people to guard us," he said. "Anyone can get hot at any minute."
Murphy was again the hottest of the Golden Gophers on Monday night at Providence, recording 23 points to go along with 14 rebounds as the nation's 15th-ranked team notched an impressive 86-74 verdict over the Friars.
