The Cowboys are coming off an impressive third place finish at the Advocare Invitational where a humbling loss to the defending national champs was sandwiched between dominant wins over quality opponents.
The run of quality opponents, and hopefully the positive momentum, continues into another tough four game stretch starting Friday with Minnesota. The game is the headliner for a small college basketball classic meant to serve as a test run for the 2019 Final Four venue. So while it’s not a true road game, it’s obviously a whole lot closer to the Gophers’ campus than it is to the Cowboys’.
