This is a great win for this team. Not because we beat a good Washington team, but because I think it was a huge "growing" moment for the young guys. IW did a great job managing (still didn't shoot the ball well), Murphy was an animal in the 2nd half, Oturu (other than some foul trouble against a difficult match up) and Matz both played fairly well, Coffey really came on in the 2nd half, and Gabe is showing more and more why he will be a HUGE piece of this team. Crazy to think that McBrayer only had 4 points as well.
Really, for as poorly as we played that first half, this was a huge win for the Gophers. Big time confidence booster.
