STARTING FIVE
• The Minnesota men's basketball team hosts Indiana Saturday afternoon in the lone meeting between the two teams this season.
• Center Daniel Oturu leads all Big Ten freshmen players in rebounding (7.3 rpg), field goal percentage (56.8 percent) and blocks (1.6 bpg). He is eighth in scoring at 11.0 points per game, trailed closely by fellow Gopher freshman Gabe Kalscheur (10.2 ppg).
• As of February 15, junior guard Amir Coffey is seventh in the Big Ten averaging 16.7 points per game in Big Ten contests. Coffey has reached double figures in all but three Big Ten games, including a career-high 32 points against Nebraska in December. Coffey crossed the 1,000-point mark on Feb. 3 at Purdue, becoming the 10th player in program history to do so during their junior season.
• Senior forward Jordan Murphy is second in Big Ten play in rebounding, pulling down 11.0 boards per game, and leads in overall rebounding with 11.9 rebounds per game on the season, third in the nation. His 1,208 career rebounds ranks second in Big Ten Conference history, after passing Joe Barry Carroll for second place. Murphy became the 10th player in Big Ten history with 1,500+ points and 1,000+ career rebounds. Murphy was named the Big Ten Co-Player of the Week on Jan. 28 and earned a spot on the Karl Malone Award Top 10 List.
• Senior guard Dupree McBrayer now ranks tied for eighth all-time at Minnesota in career assists (301), and 14th with 115 career three‐pointers made. He is 13th in three-pointers attempted (346). McBrayer became the 44th Gopher player to reach the 1,000-point mark in his career at Michigan State last week. Teammate Brock Stull is just one point away from 1,000 career points between his time at Milwaukee and Minnesota.
SCOUTING THE HOOSIERS
• The Hoosiers are coming off a three-point loss to Ohio State on Sunday, 55-52, and are wrapping their longest break between Big Ten games this season. Including a win at then-No. 6 Michigan State on February 2, Indiana has dropped nine of its last 10 games.
• Freshman Romeo Langford leads the Hoosier offense scoring 17.5 points per game, with his conference scoring average at 17.6 points per game. He is one of two double-figure scorers alongside Juwan Morgan who chips in 15.4 points per game.
UP NEXT
• The Gophers host Michigan in the rematch of their buzzer-beating loss to the Wolverines last month in Ann Arbor. Tip off from the Barn is set for 6:00 p.m., with ESPN and KTLK carrying the game live.
