Apparently, an afternoon game on New Year's Eve is mandatory for everyone in the B1G this year.
66-55, a nice comeback win to start the conference slate.
RU
Tyler 23 points (9-15, 1-3 3 pt, 4-5 ft), 4 feb, 4 a, 1 to, 1 b, 3 s
Rachel 14 points (5-12, 4-9 ft), 12 reb, 2 a, 2 to, 6(!) b, 0 s - maybe her best game this year
Kahleah 10 points (4-11, 2-6 ft), 11 reb, 2 a, 4 to, 0 b, 0 s - fouled out
Briyona 8 points (2-5, 0-1, 4-4 ft), 4 reb, 10(!!) a, 1 to, 0 b, 6 s - player of the game

Khadaizah 0 points (0-4, 0-1 3 pt), 2 reb, 2 a, 0 to, 0 b, 1 s

The team shot a not-so-hot 39.3%, a bad 21.4% from 3 and a so-so 60.0% from the line. They had 30 points in the paint, 24 points off turnovers, 5 2nd chance points, 19 fast break points and 8 bench points. They snagged 41 rebounds, had 21 assists (on 24 baskets, as somebody else mentioned), gave up a mere 10 turnovers (very nice), blocked 7 shots and made 11 steals.
Minnesota
Wagner 22 points (9-24, 4-10 3 pt), 6 reb, 3 a, 4 to, 0 b, 0 s
Banham 17 points (7-21, 3-10, 0-2 ft), 5 reb, 1 a, 4 to, 0 b, 1 s
Mullaney 4 points (1-4, 2-2 ft), 7 reb, 7 a, 2 to, 0 b, 0 s
Barnes 4 points (2-5), 8 reb, 0 a, 1 to, 0 b, 0 s
Hedstrom 3 points (1-4, 1-3 3 pt), 1 reb, 0 a, 1 to, 0 b, 0 s in 5 minutes
Bailey 3 points (1-4, 1-4 3 pt), 1 reb, 1 a, 0 to, 0 b, 0 s
Starr 2 points (1-2), 8 reb, 1 a, 3 to, 0 b, 2 s
Lamke 0 points (0-1), 3 reb, 0 a, 1 to, 0 b, 0 s
Edwards - 1 reb in 5 minutes
Johnson - no states in 2 minutes
Garven - no stats in 1 minute
The Golden Gophers shot 33.3% (which makes RU's shooting look a bit better), 33.3% from 3 (very good) and a lousy 50.0% (on just 2-4) from the line. They had 18 points in the paint, 6 points off turnovers, 9 2nd chance points, 5 fast break points and 10 bench points. They had 46 rebounds, 13 assists, 18 turnovers, no blocks and a measly 3 steals.
So, win the turnover battle, win the game. Also, it's beginning to look like the team has a big conditioning advantage on most opponents - the 4th quarter is the strongest quarter in an awful lot of games.
A funny note from the box score - it says the Golden Gophers led for 24:33, RU led for 12:17 and the game was tied for 2:45. That leaves 25 seconds when apparently none of those things was true.
