per Marcus:
Following the Gophers men’s basketball team’s gutsy 75-67 victory over No. 19 Michigan on Sunday, first-year Wolverines coach Juwan Howard had a lengthy conversation with opposing sophomore center Daniel Oturu in the postgame handshake line.
Howard, the former Wolverines center who played in the NBA from 1994 to 2013, was impressed by the play of Oturu, who finished with 30 points and seven rebounds.
“He played phenomenal today,” Howard said. “He showed a lot of mental toughness to come back in the game after having a shoulder injury. It showed that the game meant a lot to him. He came back and gave his team a big lift in the second half with his energy. The crowd got really into it.”
