Owls top Minnesota for first win

After a scoreless first half, Devin Coleman scored 15 points, helping the Owls (1-1) defeated the University of Minnesota, 75-70, Thursday in the opening round of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

After shooting 0 of 5 in the first half, the senior guard knocked down four second-half shots—including three 3-pointers. Coleman scored a career-high 19 points last Friday in a 91-67 loss to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Veteran’s Classic in Annapolis, Maryland.

Senior forward Jaylen Bond responded from scoring two points against North Carolina, netting 19 points Thursday on 8-of-12-shooting. The senior captain also added a game-high eight rebounds.
