It's never bad to beat a ranked team, particularly one ranked ahead of you.

The team shot 42.9%, a nice 40% from 3, and a pretty good 76.9% from the line. They scored 30 points in the paint, 18 points off turnover, 4 second chance points, 16 fast break points and 10 bench points. They had 35 rebounds (and apparently nobody was allowed to have more than 6 today), 16 assists, a decent 12 turnovers, 8 blocks and 6 steals.

Minnesota shot 37.7%, 33.3% from 3 and a lousy 50% (on just 8 shots) from the line. They scored 34 points in the paint, 13 points off turnovers, 8 second chance points (amazing, considering they had 14 offensive rebounds), 4 fast break points and 6 bench points. They had 48 rebounds, 15 assists, 17 turnovers, 4 blocks and 5 steals.
You could say the difference in the game was free throws - RU hit 6 more than Minnesota, and they won by 5. Or you could say it was turnovers, if you wanted.
