Per Marcus:
Monday was a good day for Gophers basketball recruit Parker Jefferson.
The 6-10 Inglewood High School senior put on a show for fans watching the MLK Classic in Southern California with his first career triple-double.
Jefferson’s 18 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists helped to lead Inglewood to 92-90 victory at Los Alamitos. His first double-figure assist game also came just two turnovers.
“About time,” Jefferson joked. “Felt great. I had six assists in the first half, so I had a feeling it would be that type of game. I’ve never had that many in a single game.”
Inglewood, led by Jefferson and five-star junior guard Jason Crowe, has won 11 straight games. What’s been the secret to success besides a rare triple-double from their big man?
“I think just understanding that it all starts with our defense,” said Jefferson, who had his senior night Wednesday. “And we’ve learned to trust each other and the coaches more and more every game.”
Jefferson’s been watching the Gophers closely this season. He was excited to see them pick up their first Big Ten win last week with a thrilling overtime game against Michigan on Dawson Garcia’s buzzer-beater.
“It was insane!” said Jefferson before his future team won Tuesday at Iowa. “Just the right kind of win we needed.”
