33-28 Minnesota with 1:46 to go in the half.

Perry for 3.

 

33-31 Minnesota.

35-31 Minnesota

35-33 Minnesota

LONG 3 pointer. 38-33 at the half. Golden Gophers are leading.

Minnesota averages 5 three-pointers a game, and they had 6 in the first half.

I was wondering if Rick would be there at today's game but saw on line that he would not be making the trip.

 

He's watching from Greece.

Enoch good but didn't get the ball enough.

Nwora hit some tough shots.

Defense was not great as MN picked them to death. Expect to see at least a little bit of 1-3-1 in the 2nd half.

MN pressed only 1 possession that I recall. Missed opportunity in my book.

If MN shoots like they did at the outset (1-7 or 8 from 3), UofL should have a chance. If they shoot like they did from then (5-7 or 8 from 3), it will be an uphill battle.

Offense looks lost. Might as well try to run some transition before defense gets established.

MN was 2-6 on FT, but UofL failed to rebound 2 of them and MN got another possession and on at least 1 occasion got a 3.

Bad offense + bad defense = down at halftime.

Minnesota opens the 2nd half with another 3.

 

41-33 Minnesota
