The Gophers rallied in the second half behind an impressive effort from senior guard Nate Mason. He led the team with 22 points, nine assists and just one turnover. Dupree McBrayer added 18 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Gophers fell 75-71 to Indiana at Williams Arena.
McBrayer needed to score more points and he quickly answered the call. He opened the game with two three-pointers, but things quickly dried up as he missed his next three shots. He regained a rhythm by knocking down two key second half three-pointers. Guard Nate Mason was also drilling three-pointers and long jumpers to help the Gophers overcome the depth issues they were facing.
