STARTING FIVE

• Senior forward Jordan Murphy became the program's all-time leading rebounder on Tuesday in the win over Santa Clara. Murphy pulled down 17 rebounds to move to 961 in his three-plus years with the Maroon and Gold, passing Mychal Thompson's record of 956 which stood for more than 30 years.
• Sunday's win over Texas A&M marked the first regular-season game in program history for the Gophers to be played in Canada, and the first international regular season game since 2012's trip to Battle for Atlantis in the Bahamas – which was the first international games for Minnesota.
• Through three games, the Gophers starting five is each individually averaging double figure scoring, including 10 or more points from the entire quintet on Nov. 12 against Utah. Minnesota's last game with all five starters scoring in double figures was on Jan. 3 last year in the win over Illinois.
