ABOUT MINNESOTA
The Golden Gophers make their way to New Jersey with a 14-4 overall mark and 3-2 Big Ten record. Minnesota has won two straight which includes a dominating 91-71 win at Penn State on Wednesday, as well as an 83-77 home win over Michigan State.
 
10-0 run to start the game aided by 5 Minn turnovers
Defensive intensity is there
the 10 point half at Purdue was the aberration.
Now to keep it going. Except for Illinois they have gone on runs only to let teams climb back.

17-12 end 1st. Need better control of ball, and need to defend the 3! Carey doing well.
 
CC..what a pass to Harris, +1. DEFEND the 3!!! They need to put this team away, and not let them keep clawing back.
 
40-34 RU. Carey star of the half, great D, mucho boards. Tyler MIA. If we could take care of the ball, and the refs would stop calling every g'damn ticky tack foul we would be up by 20. CVS needs to lay into them. AND for the 10th time defend the 3.

Minnesota is getting too many offensive rebounds which gives them more 3 point shots.Scaife needs better shooting percentage and Rutgers less unforced turnovers in the second half.
 
45-42 RU TO by CVS. Now they are playing to lose. Why, oh why is this such a struggle. If Tyler is off another guard needs to take charge.
 
Rutgers needs a scoring spurt because Minnesota is creeping closer 45-42 third quarter.
 
Rutgers will need a big quarter from Scaife to win this game.
 
Minnesota has more scoring threats.Rutgers ice cold on offense.56-56 with 4 minutes remaining.
 
10 three pointers for Minnesota.Wagner is a sensational shooter.Rutgers just committed their second stupid foul allowing Minnesota 3 foul shots which were made.66-65 Rutgers leads with 26 seconds remaining.
 
Minnesota has 4 women who can knock down threes. Scary.
 
Up 7 with 20 seconds. This will be a hard fought win because Minnesota in regulation averages nearly 90 points a game and beat Penn State by 21 in their last game.
 
Scaaife to the rescue with dynamic offensive baskets .She has 23 points .Rutgers leads 78-70.Carey also played a tremendous game with a 20 plus point game.
 
Tyler with 25 and took over the OT period. We outscored Minnesota 12-2 in the OT period. Hard fought win and a very good win. Go RU!

This team dug deep..Tyler took over to avert would could have been a disasterous loss in regulation at the buzzer. Going down as a quality win for sure but this teams has alot of stuff to clean up when it comes to perimeter defense and getting that killer instinct

But all these close wins give Rutgers such an advantage in these type of games
