Minnesota easily shrugs off St. Francis 72-54
Minnesota defeated St. Francis 72-54 at Williams Enviornment to maneuver to 2-0 on the season. Jaden Henley led all Minnesota scorers with 16 factors.
Look, once more it’s a non-conference sport towards a rubbish opponent. Credit score to St. Francis for attempting to full court docket press to decelerate Minnesota for a bit, however this sport was received the second the whistle blew for the tip off. Because of this, there are solely two necessities for achievement: win and nobody get injured. For the second straight sport, Minnesota completed each duties.
That isn’t to say that Minnesota didn’t make this sport briefly fascinating, selecting to provide the Terriers a semblance of an opportunity with poor capturing within the first fifteen minutes of the sport. St. Francis received it as shut as 22-20 on the below 5 earlier than Ta’Lon Cooper made a 3 level play which the Gophers adopted up with a 12-6 run to shut out the half. The Gophers cruised within the second half to the purpose that Dawson Garcia solely 17 whole minutes of sport motion as a result of there was no cause for him to have to be on the ground. I don’t need to say that I’m being a nasty blogger and phoning on this recap, so shut your eyes and picture a significant mismatch of expertise between two groups on the rec heart. Now think about that one of many gamers on the great workforce briefly makes a bunch of photographs and crosses some unlucky soul to interrupt 4 ankles. I’ve described a lot of the second half of notice within the Minnesota-St. Francis sport.
Jaden Henley had a powerful sport tonight. Certain his opposition was over-matched, however I used to be impressed with the freshman’s capturing capability. He completed with 16 factors and two rebounds, and appears to be the one Gopher who can persistently make free throws. We are going to select to disregard the 5 turnovers as a result of towards actual competitors Henley is not going to be dealing with the ball extensively.
Joseph Ola-Joseph and Pharrel Payne each added 12 factors and mixed for 9 rebounds. Ola-Joseph had the spotlight of the night time with a thunderous dunk within the second half. Payne for his half acknowledged that there was nobody on St. Francis who might push him out of the lane, and completed 5-5 from the sphere and 2-2 from the road.
As a result of plus/minus is a hilarious stat, I’m compelled to level out that Will Ramberg was +20 tonight.
The Gophers subsequent tackle DePaul on Monday night time to begin off the Gavitt Video games.
