Gophers basketball team improves to 3-0 in Spain

After beating its first two opponents by an average of 20 points, the University of Minnesota men's basketball team wasn't sure when it would be tested on the foreign trip to Spain.

The Gophers got the challenge they were looking for Monday.

They had to come from behind at halftime to improve to 3-0 on the tour with an 87-78 victory over the Torrejon All Stars in Madrid.

Senior Joey King led Minnesota with 18 points and three steals. Senior Carlos Morris and freshman Kevin Dorsey both had 12 points and four rebounds, while combining for nine steals.
