per Souhan:
With their overtime victory over Michigan on Sunday night, the Gophers are almost surely going to make the NCAA tournament.
They have meaningful down-the-stretch Big Ten games and conference tournament games and March Madness games in their near future, and their best big man tends to get called for fouls every time his dreadlocks invade an opponent’s personal space.
Eric Curry is suddenly an important big man on campus.
During the Gophers’ 83-78 overtime victory over Michigan, Curry, the freshman from Memphis, borrowed Reggie Lynch’s job and ran with it.
Curry’s spinning basket with 1:17 left in regulation gave the Gophers a 70-64 lead, and he finished with 12 points, five rebounds, an assist and no turnovers. He played an unplanned-for 35 minutes. Lynch played 13.
“Eric was terrific — made some midrange shots,” Gophers coach Richard Pitino said. “He made winning plays.
“He’s only a freshman, so there’s a lot to be excited about with him. He’s performing in the clutch.”
