Minnesota defeated Clemson 89-83 at Williams Arena. With the win, the Gophers are now 5-2 on the season and 4-2 on the road. A surprising fact, Minnesota has the second longest home non-conference winning streak in the country. Jordan Murphy led the Gophers with 24 points in a breakout performance.
Early on, Clemson barely missed. The Tigers started the game 4-6 from deep, and finished the night 14-28. Several of those threes were from more than 25 feet away, but far too many were of the wide open variety. Clemson did a good job taking advantage of Minnesota's odd decision to double the post.
