The Gophers continued the early stages of non-conference play with another test against a Power-5 opponent. This time, Minnesota traveled to the east coast for a matchup with Boston College. It quickly became a night they’ll soon forget.
The Gophers shot just 29 percent from the floor, including 5-for-30 from behind the arc. They had a 1-for-15 scoring drought in the second half and simply couldn’t sustain possessions in a 68-56 loss.
This is a night where the Gophers didn’t receive consistent guard play. Offensive possessions were stagnant, possessions lacked flow and guards Amir Coffey and Dupree McBrayer combined to shoot just 4-for-19 from the floor.
