The Beavers scored their last 2 points with 9:02 left in the game. The Beavers went 0-12 with 5 turnovers (this is my count from the play-by-play) the rest of the way.
Top 16 question:
If it comes down to Minnesota with a rating of about 17 or 18 or a couple of other schools whose arenas are smaller than the ~5,700 seat Maturi Pavillion, would the Gophers have an advantage of getting that 16th seed?
But if a player is dinged up a little and would benefit by sitting the week before the big game instead of playing vs UDub, I would bet Lanning sits him.
