per Heather:
1. One of the best starts ever for the program.
Yes, it’s the non-conference part of the schedule, but the Gophers 11-1 start still ranks as one of the best season starts for Gopher basketball. Not many of its teams have started this well, with just one loss in 12 games. Only eight Gophers squads have hit the 11-1 mark since 1972-73. Just 16 teams have done it in more than 100 years, since 1895. It’s already a pretty decent turnaround from last season’s 8-23 effort.
2. Nate Mason (No. 2).
Coach Richard Pitino has said junior Nate Mason is one of the best guards in the conference. He’s certainly shown off his skills already this season. He’s the Gophers leading scorer with 13.3 points per game and sunk his season-best 19 points against Brooklyn, a game in which he also hit four treys for the third time in four games. He also leads the team with 5.4 assists per game. Keep your eye on him as one of the leaders of this team.
