On Wednesday night the Gophers traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska to take on the Cornhuskers. Both teams were in desperate need of a win as the Huskers had lost 7 in a row and the Gophers had lost 3 in a row. This game was very evenly matched from start to finish. Minnesota led at the half by 1, 31-30. Jordan Murphy led the Gophers with 19 points and James Palmer Jr. led all scorers with 24 points. This game ultimately came down to the last play on a controversial foul call on Amir Coffey to send Palmer Jr. to the line. He would knock down those free throws to lift Nebraska to 62-61 win. Unfortunately for the Gophers, this was a huge loss. It takes a big hit on their NCAA tournament hopes and now they've lost 4 in a row. As a fan, this was very frustrating to see because they always play so good against the good teams, but so bad against the bad ones. We'll see how it plays out, but things aren't looking good for the Gophers.
