The Gophers got blown out at home by Purdue in the second-worst loss ever at Williams Arena. That’s saying something! The team has basically given up, which is a shame, especially since Nate Mason is ending his career on such a sour note.
Penn State isn’t great, and this would’ve been a winnable game in brighter times. Alas, we’re looking at another L as the Gophers open up a 2.5-game road trip that’s sure to be a bloodbath.

Gopher basketball memory that doesn’t suck:

#GopherHaiku for the game:
One hour ahead.
But in the Eastern time zone,
Hope still evades us.
Prediction
KenPom likes Penn State by six, 78-72. That still seems generous. Expect the Lions to roll by at least 10 unless Minnesota shows something resembling a pulse.
