The Gophers are 3-1 NIT semifinal games and have won
two NIT Championships (1993 & 1998).

to reach Madison Square Garden via three road games
since the tourney began using home sites in 1977. The
others are Fresno State (1998), Detroit (2001) & Georgetown (2003).
The Gophers are now 5-2 in NIT quarterfinal games.
Rodney Williams heads to the NIT semifinals having scored
20 or more points in four straight games, including a career-high 24 against Middle Tennessee State. He is the
first Gopher to score four-straight 20-point games since

SAMPSON III REACHES MILESTONE

Trevor Mbakwe had been the talk of the Gophers entering

A HUGE WIN FOR THE PROGRAM
The Gophers were able to secure their first conference
win of the season with a 77-74 victory over #7/8 ranked
Indiana in Bloomington on Jan. 12.
It was the first loss of the season for the Hoosiers at
Assembly Hall.
Minnesota had lost its last 43 road games against
ranked teams, including vacated games.
Not including vacated games, that number extends to
63 straight losses on the road against ranked opponents.
It is the first time the Golden Gopher program has beat
a Top 10 team on the road while unranked since defeating #9 Iowa during the 1981 conference season.
The victory over #7 Indiana is the highest ranked opponent Minnesota has defeated in a true road game
since a 1976 win at No. 6 Marquette (that game was
later forfeited).
The victory is the highest ranked Big Ten opponent Minnesota has EVER defeated on the road. The previous
high was #8 Illinois in 1954.
