STrib: Gophers will face No. 10 Miami with confidence soaring

per Marcus:

The last time a top-10 opponent played at the Barn in nonconference was when No. 4 Cincinnati defeated No. 17 Minnesota 62-61 in 1998. Almost 20 years later, Gophers fans again can watch their Big Ten contenders face a top-10 nonconference opponent Wednesday night.

“It’s definitely exciting,” said junior Jordan Murphy, who leads the Big Ten with averages of 22 points and 12 rebounds per game. “This is definitely one of the most highly ranked teams I’ve played. Definitely a really good team — good test for us.”

The best, most fun game I ever attended. December 1998 against Cinci Bearcats.The Barn was absolutely electric.
