Minnesota went 8-23 last season. The Gophers are about to improve to 12-1 entering B1G play.

by Jeff Potrykus via twitter 12/24/2016 2:06:12 AM
Not that it matters, but Florida A&M's leading scorer, Desmond Williams (16.3 ppg), isn't starting. I'm not even sure he's in uniform.

by Jim Polzin via twitter 12/24/2016 2:06:54 AM
Have to admit: not a bad crowd tonight for #Badgers and Rattlers. Much more energy than I thought.

by Jeff Potrykus via twitter 12/24/2016 2:07:28 AM
Underway at the Kohl Center. Nigel Hayes hits Ethan Happ for an easy low-post bucket. We might see this a lot tonight.

Ethan Happ with the easy 2 and we're underway!
