Obviously Murphy, Washington and Coffey played well. Oturu seemed to lack lift and explosiveness. Still was productive. Did leave the game and get re-taped at one point, so guessing he was hampered by his ankle injury.
Murphy's production is insane. No other words need to be said, he is amazing.
Coffey hit a couple mid-range jumpers in in the final 10ish minutes. One from the short corner against the zone. I love using him there. Can score off the dribble, shoot from there, pass if someone is open and has the size to see over a lot of defenders if they double.
Hurt did some nice things. He works hard and seems to get unlucky a lot. Had a big offensive board off a missed shot after a jump ball when the Gophers had 1 second on the shot clock.
Stockman needs to finish better. Does a lot of good things but this wasn't his type of game. Quicker bigs that stretched the floor. Still like him.
Oturu seems to be a proficient free throw shooter. That is a very good thing.
Gophers ran a 3/4 court trap for a while. North Florida handled it well but it did limit their time to run their offense, which is nice. Good thing to practice against the non-conference to see if you like it long-term. Gophers are long and athletic (Coffey, McBrayer, Oturu, Murphy, Hurt, etc) can all cause problems for smaller guards.
Game didn't make a shot BUT still rebounded and defended and hustled. They got him a lot of good looks which is encouraging.
