What a night for Gopher basketball. Play like you did in the second half the rest of the season and you can get to the second weekend of the Big Dance. Everyone contributed, did something to be a part of this win. Great to see McBrayer play with confidence again and take the 3s when he was open.
High Motor Murphy took over in the second half, and Mason was a court leader. 5 turnovers the entire game, not counting the shot clock violation at the end. Pitino kept Maryland off balance by switching defenses up in the second half, and we turned missed shots and turnovers into baskets.
Enjoy the win tonight, get back to work tomorrow. Beat Penn State and Nebraska, and the double-bye for the BTT is in play. Gophers haven't finished above .500 in Big Ten play in 10 years. Best part about it is the Gophers are dancing, they're relevant on Selection Sunday. Enjoy the ride. Bought tickets for the Penn State game after the win at Rutgers. Excited to head back to the Barn on Saturday.
