Gophers stop the bleeding with 76-70 win over Penn State
E.J. Stephens was money from the line down the stretch to ice the victory for Minnesota.THE FACTS: The Gophers weathered an uncharacteristically hot shooting night from Penn State and took care of the ball, committing only three turnovers, en route to a 76-70 win over Penn State.
THE BOX SCORE: HERE
KEY STAT: How about 8-16 from deep? No, let’s go with 12-13 from the free throw line. Either way, Minnesota got points when they could and it added up.
THE TURNING POINT: Trailing 67-65 with 3:20 to go, Minnesota held Penn State to just one FG down the stretch and went on a 15-3 run to finish things off.
