Trailing by one point at the half, Minnesota went ice cold as Boston College beat Minnesota 56-68 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
This game came down to two things from Minnesota’s perspective. On defense they had too many fouls. Foul trouble for Jordan Murphy relegated him to only 26 minutes played before fouling out. And the Eagles were often on the free throw line. They only had 24 free throw attempts but this was a slower paced, fewer possession game. But ultimately the defense wasn’t the problem.
It was the offense.
Boston College went to a 2-3 matchup zone that Minnesota had no answer for.
