The turnaround that the Gophers experienced last year can largely be attributed to the play of Reggie Lynch. His shot-blocking prowess helped the Gophers moved from ranking 162nd nationally in defensive efficiency to 22nd. It wasn’t all his doing, but having a rim protector like he him was a significant factor.
In the end he earned himself the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Year and helped lead the Gophers to a 5-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
