MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota coach Ben Johnson thought slowing down Purdue's 7-4, 300-pound Zach Edey was the toughest task in Thursday's matchup but turns out it was trying to get the Big Ten's worst offense off the ground.
Late in the first half, Gophers fans saw their team with single digits in the scoring column with halftime closing in.
To make matters worse, the Boilermakers then tossed up an alley-oop pass above the box for Edey to slam through the basket while being fouled.
