per the STrib:
True that the Gophers didn’t “lay an egg” over the final portion of the non-conference schedule, but they also weren’t challenged much. After facing Richmond on the road, Syracuse and Arkansas on a neutral court in Maui and Florida State at home all within the first nine games, Minnesota was handed four cupcakes to complete November, not to mention the Coastal Carolinas and the Woffords that the Gophers instigated the season with. By losing the first two games in Maui, Minnesota missed a chance to play another quality opponent as well, winding up in the last place game against Division II Chaminade.
“A tougher schedule would have been cool, but it doesn't matter, we just come to play,” DeAndre Mathieu said.
