STARTING FIVE
• The Minnesota men's basketball team travels to the Mitten on Tuesday night for a date with the Michigan Wolverines.
• Seven games into the conference season, junior guard Amir Coffey is fourth the Big Ten averaging 19.6 points per game in Big Ten contests. Coffey has reached double figures in all but one Big Ten game, including a career-high 32 points against Nebraska.
• Senior forward Jordan Murphy is third in Big Ten play in rebounding, pulling down 10.6 boards per game, and leads in overall rebounding with 12.1 rebounds per game on the season. His 1,128 career rebounds ranks third in Big Ten Conference history. Murphy became the 10th player in Big Ten history with 1,500+ points and 1,000+ career rebounds. Additionally, Murphy broke Jim Brewer's 45-year old school record for career double-doubles, and now has 55. Murphy is second in the nation in rebounding (12.1) and is seventh in double-doubles (11) this season, as of Jan. 21.
• Senior guard Dupree McBrayer now ranks 14th all‐time at Minnesota with 111 career three‐pointers made. He is 13th in three-pointers attempted (321). McBrayer is just 30 points shy of becoming the 43rd Gopher player to reach the 1,000-point mark in his career.
• Several other Gophers have major career milestones on the horizon. Redshirt senior Brock Stull is just five points away from scoring 1,000 in his career, combined between his time at Milwaukee and Minnesota. Amir Coffey is at 938 career points through 69 games in his junior season.
SCOUTING THE WOLVERINES
• Michigan, who was ranked as high as second in the nation last week after starting the season with 17 straight victories, suffered its first loss at Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon.

• Michigan leads the nation in being whistled for the fewest fouls per game (13.8) and is third in scoring defense (57.1 ppg) and sixth in fewest turnovers (177).
