Go Gophers!!
 

per Marcus:

Being named team captain is often an honor bestowed upon seniors.

Still, the Gophers men’s basketball team never had a pair of four-year players as captains under Richard Pitino. Not until Jordan Murphy and Dupree McBrayer were selected team captains Wednesday.

Murphy and McBrayer both started their U career on an eight-win team in 2015-16. They were major contributors to an NCAA tournament team as sophomores, and saw the program rise and fall after injuries and off-court issues last season as juniors. They’ve grown through the highs and lows and can pass down advice to their younger teammates this season.

“We’ve been here the longest and we know what to do,” McBrayer said. “We have to take the responsibility to get everything together. Coaches aren’t really talking as much in practice right now. They’re making us talk to the team.”
