Minnesota survived yet another scare on Tuesday, this time against Boston College, who came into the game presenting as a less-than-formidable opponent. That all changed once the Eagles started shooting. The Gophers found themselves down 15 in the second half to a a BC squad that seemingly couldn’t miss from long range and without a ton of energy.
It looked like a sure loss for Minnesota, who came into the game an 8-point favorite, but the team miraculously ripped off a 16-0 run to take the lead and eventually won in OT. It was a thrilling win, to be sure, but it belied plenty of weaknesses on a Minnesota team that isn’t really passing the eye test these days.
