per Marcus:
Freshman forward Isaiah Ihnen sat distraught outside the locker room after the Gophers’ 71-69 loss at Wisconsin on Sunday.
The former four-star recruit played his best game so far, in a season where the opportunities have been slim. One mistake was hard to swallow, though.
Ihnen’s 7-4 wingspan didn’t matter when he turned his head defensively with 30 seconds to play and got beat on a backdoor cut by Badgers forward Aleem Ford for a go-ahead dunk.
His teammates consoled Ihnen after the heartbreaking loss.
“There’s nothing to really get down on yourself about,” sophomore center Daniel Oturu said. “He’s going to be a really good player in this league for a long time.”
“With me, it’s just getting used to the physicality of it all,” Ihnen said in February. “Obviously, I wasn’t able to [lift weights] throughout the summer, so I feel like it was a very good amount of progress.”
