Minnesota did pretty much everything they couldn’t afford to do and Middle Tennessee executed very well en route to a ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ upset in the 1st Round of the NCAA Tournament.
Give lots of credit to the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. They came out with a great defensive plan, switching between 1-3-1, 2-3, and man frequently and as a result Minnesota never got fully adjusted on the offensive end. Offensively, MTSU took advantage of foul trouble for Reggie Lynch, uncharacteristically poor defense by the Gophers to shoot over 50% from 3 point range just under 50% from the floor in total.
