Game 413 - Minnesota at Providence
November 13 at Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, RI
Fox Sports 1
Jordan Murphy followed a 35-point, 15-rebound performance in Minnesota's season-opening win over USC-Upstate with 23 points (on 10-of-15 shooting) and 14 rebounds in an 86-74 victory.
29 points and 14.5 rebounds in two games for the junior forward.
And it's not just Murphy. Minnesota, coming off its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2013, had a stretch in the second half where it pulled away from a good Providence team by scoring points on 12 consecutive possessions. That's not easy to do.
The Golden Gophers are hoping great guard play - pre-season all-Big 10 senior Nate Mason had 17 points and sophomore Amir Coffey, 15 Monday - and the emergence of Murphy as a stand out will elevate to the next level a team that hasn't been past the round of 32 in 20 years.

Game 374 - (12) Middle Tennessee vs. (5) Minnesota
NCAA Tournament first round
March 16 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI
TNT
When the brackets were unveiled on Sunday, it seemed Middle Tennessee and its 30 wins were a bit under-seeded and Minnesota, despite a big turn around & a 24-win regular season may have been a bit over-seeded. That seemed to play out Thursday afternoon as the Conference USA champions pulled off their second consecutive March upset, 81-72.
The Blue Raiders knocked off No. 2 seed Michigan State in the opening round a year ago and they had four in double figures in this year's win.
Reggie Upshaw again came through in a big way, following his 21-point performance against the Spartans last March with 16 of his game-high 19 points in the second half on Thursday.
MTSU led by as much as 15 before Minnesota got to within 62-58 on Eric Curry's three-point play at the 6:44 mark. That was as close as the Golden Gophers would get, mainly because Upshaw followed with a three, a nice reverse lay-in and a fade away jumper from about 10 feet that made it 69-61 with about 4 1/2 minutes to go.

A bunch of basketball phrases and nonsense from this one - a 75-74, overtime win for Michigan State.
"He's what you call an energy big"
"What we call a wide pin down"
"Blue bloods"
"Chess match"
"Proper hand development - PHD"
"Winning is in their DNA"/"Championship DNA"
