Scouting Minnesota
Third-year Coach Richard Pitino and the Gophers enter Tuesday’s game with a 6-10 record and 0-4 in the Big Ten following a loss to Northwestern on Saturday. The Golden Gophers won five of their first seven games, but dropped eight of their last nine games. Minnesota has been in most of its four Big Ten games, including an eight-point loss to then No. 1 Michigan State.
The Golden Gophers returned two starters and seven letterwinners from a team that went 18-15 in 2014-15. Sophomore Nate Mason leads a balanced attack by averaging 13.0 ppg and 4.1 assists per game, while senior forward Joey King averages 12.8 points per game and is shooting 44.2 percent from 3-point range. Carlos Morris (11.5 ppg) and Jordan Murphy (10.4 ppg) give Minnesota four players who average double figures.
