MADISON, WIS. – Gophers first-year coach Ben Johnson wants to end the pipeline between the state of Minnesota and Wisconsin's basketball program.
Still, Johnson saw Sunday how much recruiting in his state has boosted their border rival.
Minnesota natives Tyler Wahl, Brad Davison and Steven Crowl combined for 40 points for the No. 11 Badgers, but it was the inability to stop star Johnny Davis late that resulted in the Gophers' 66-60 loss Sunday afternoon in Madison.
