Per Marcus:

Ben Johnson didn’t put together this year’s Gophers men’s basketball roster thinking it would be one of the worst scoring and shooting teams in college basketball.

Still, that’s where the fourth-year Gophers coach finds himself with only one game left before Big Ten play resumes Thursday vs. Purdue.

The Gophers (7-5) have defended well enough to stay above .500, but that might not keep them there for long after the final nonconference game Sunday against Morgan State.

Offense could be the difference between the Gophers staying afloat or sinking fast against conference foes.
“I think our guys know they have to stay confident offensively,” Johnson said after the 74-60 win last Saturday against Fairleigh Dickinson. “Once we get that feeling, we get into attack mode.”


Go Gophers!!
