After a recent exit from the Pro-Am league Monday, Gophers basketball player Jordan Murphy is ready to get back to the collegiate season.
Murphy played in the Twin Cities Pro-Am League this summer, a basketball league with professional and collegiate players, alongside many of his fellow Gophers teammates. The team is coming off a year where they went 24-10 and lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
“The Pro-Am is really big for us as a team,” Murphy said. “Every time we see each other on the schedule, we basically [are] really competitive and always talking trash to each other … in the locker room, making sure we give each other our best shot.”
Twelve Gophers players are in the league, two on each of the six teams.
Murphy’s teammate from Minnesota is someone he hasn’t played with yet, freshman Isaiah Washington.
“[The league] gives us stuff to work on,” Murphy said. “Basically, work on defense, work on some of your offensive game as well, and make sure to work on stuff that we would really like to try during the season.”
The team will look to move further in the tournament as they return all rotation players except one.
“[I’m] pretty motivated,” Murphy said. “We definitely want to go farther than we did last year. I think just when the expectations are so high that we [set] for ourselves... it can be hard to reach them, but I think it’s very doable.”
