The Minnesota Golden Gophers earned their first conference win of the season, upsetting #6 Maryland 6-863. The Gophers lead for virtually the entire game but impressive defense by Maryland coupled with big shot after big shot by Rasheed Sulamon gave the Terps the lead with under 3 minutes to play and things appeared to be headed towards their 14th Big Ten loss.
This game did not follow the usual script for the Gophers. Made free throws in the final minutes. Coming back when Maryland took a late lead. And handling a tough Maryland press with young guards.
