per Marcus:

Gophers freshman forward Isaiah Ihnen is expected to make his season debut Friday against Utah, Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said.

Pitino feels like Ihnen can give the team a boost with his length defensively. The 6-foot-9 Ihnen was the Gophers’ top recruit in the 2019 class.

“He’ll get some minutes vs. Utah; see how he can handle it and go from there,” Pitino said Thursday. “We’re playing three guards. Obviously with [Amir Coffey] out there last year at 6-8 from a defensive side of it, there’s a couple times guys are shooting over us. Just having longer arms out there helps.”

Go Gophers!!
 

I am excited to see Ihnen. Tough game for a debut on the road against a power school. I am more excited to see him get used to college ball in the better matchups for us. Hopefully using that to enable him to contribute postively by the big ten schedule.
 

How did he look/play against Utah?
