The Gopher men made hard work of the winless Santa Clara Broncos, shooting just 36 percent from the field and 62 percent from the line. But Minnesota pulled away from a 46-all tie at 11:34 of the 2nd half. Still, the lead was just 62-57 at 4:35, but Dupree McBrayer got hot and scored 10 points the rest of the way for a total of 15.
It was freshman Gabe Kalscheur who kept the Gophers in position to win it, however, scoring 23 of his 25 points in the game's 1st 26 minutes. At that point, Kalscheur was shooting 8-of-13, his teammates 8-of-37.
From the 4:35 mark, the Gophers managed to shoot 4-of-7 but still only 8-of-15 FT. But McBrayer made 3-of-4 FT at 3:14 after a flurry of Santa Clara technical fouls. That pretty much put it out of reach for the Broncos at 71-57.
Jordan Murphy finished with 11 points, 14 boards and 5 assists, while Daniel Oturu had 8 points, 7 boards and 2 blocks.
