VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Gabe Kalscheur's hot shooting carried Minnesota long enough for the rest of the Golden Gophers to pitch in and finally shake pesky Santa Clara.
Kalscheur scored 18 of his 25 points in the first half, Jordan Murphy added 15 points and 17 rebounds, and Minnesota remained unbeaten with an 80-66 win over the Broncos on Tuesday night.
The Gophers (4-0) struggled offensively for the first 20 minutes, but pulled away late in the second half to win their second straight game of the Vancouver Showcase.
"We're not even close to where we need to be and we're sitting at 4-0," Minnesota coach Richard Pitino said.
