After six straight losses in the Big 10, the Huskies would take any kind of win they could get on the road against Minnesota. While the game was ugly in many ways- the Dawgs gave away a double-digit second-half lead and struggled enormously on offense after halftime- the 71-68 win still felt great for UW.
Tyler Harris provided the kind of shot-making that makes some evaluators think he has a future in the NBA, scoring 23 pointes on 9-12 shooting. Zoom Diallo was the most reliable offensive creator when the Huskies needed a bucket and finished with 11 points and 5 assists.
