The Minnesota Golden Gophers cruised to an 81-71 win in front of a sell-out crowd at Williams Arena Saturday, extending their winning streak to seven games. Nate Mason and Jordan Murphy led the Gophers with 16 points each. Minnesota has notched 10 Big Ten wins for the first time since 2004-05. In addition, the last time they won seven Big Ten games in a row was 1978 (excluding 1997).
Not to mention, the Gophers had three impressive statistical performances in this game. Nate Mason was just two assists away from a triple-double, Jordan Murphy had 16 points and 16 rebounds, and Reggie Lynch blocked 11 shots.
