per Amelia:
This team knows how to share the ball and score. Best ballhandling game of the year so far. Only eight turnovers -- including just two in the first half -- to 25 assists. Minnesota scored 108 points on its first Division I opponent this year without even running any set plays. The Gophers scored on the run, in the paint, behind the arc, you name it -- collecting 76 possessions, the tenth time this year Minnesota has recorded at least 71. An aggressive Carlos Morris (24 points) and Nate Mason (18 points) each netted new career scoring highs. DeAndre Mathieu -- really the catalyst of this whole thing -- posted a new career high in assists (11), good for his second double-double of the year. And all this with UNC-W (a lesser opponent, but not as much of a pushover as many this year, and one with some size) knowing Minnesota inside and out (head coach Kevin Keatts worked with coach Richard Pitino at Louisville and assistant Casey Stanley worked under him at FIU). Not bad.
