Kris Murray earned his 6th double-double of the season and he led Iowa to a 68-56 win over the Gophers.
The result was not shocking, the Hawkeyes are cruising toward an NCAA tournament bid, likely in the 6 or 7 seed range. And the Gophers are scuffling through one of the worst Gopher seasons in a generation (or two).
And it was a number of the same issues this Minnesota team has had all season that contributed to the loss on Sunday.
Rebounding was brutally bad. Minnesota had just 2 offensive rebounds (7% of all missed shots) and defensively they only secured about 65% of Iowa’s misses.
