About The Event

The game is Red Cross Night, as student-athletes will be collecting donations for the Red Cross during halftime.

SCOUTING MINNESOTA
Third-year Coach Richard Pitino and the Gophers enter Tuesday’s game with a 6-10 record and 0-4 in the Big Ten following a loss to Northwestern on Saturday. The Golden Gophers won five of their first seven games, but dropped eight of their last nine games. Minnesota has been in most of its four Big Ten games, including an eight-point loss to then No. 1 Michigan State.

The Golden Gophers returned two starters and seven letterwinners from a team that went 18-15 in 2014-15. Sophomore Nate Mason leads a balanced attack by averaging 13.0 ppg and 4.1 assists per game, while senior forward Joey King averages 12.8 points per game and is shooting 44.2 percent from 3-point range. Carlos Morris (11.5 ppg) and Jordan Murphy (10.4 ppg) give Minnesota four players who average double figures.

SERIES HISTORY
Nebraska and Minnesota will meet for the 72nd time on Tuesday, which is the most between the Huskers and any other Big Ten member. It is also NU’s longest-running series in the Big Ten, as it dates back to February of 1902. The Gophers lead the all-time series, 53-18, with Minnesota snapping NU’s three-game win streak in the last matchup. Prior to joining the Big Ten, NU and Minnesota met in non-conference action every year from 1995 until 2004 after not playing for 16 years. Minnesota is 4-3 against the Huskers since Nebraska joined the Big Ten in 2011-12.
