While Dennis Evans was chasing his duffel bag dreams to go play for the worst team in Power 5 basketball, Cam Christie was diligently planning his path to Gopher basketball stardom as he awaited his freshman season. If step one was making a mark in his debut, consider the box checked.
Christie, a four-star commit who reaffirmed his intent to play at Minnesota after Evans flew the coop, finally made his debut a game after having to sit with illness, and he certainly delivered in a 102-76 blowout of the UTSA Roadrunners.
Christie finished with 18 points on 5-8 shooting to go along with three rebounds and four assists, while going 4-6 from deep.
