The Gophers, who had lost five of their past six, benefitted from big games by Grace Grocholski and Sophie Hart.

The Gophers men's basketball team came back from 17 points down to win 64-61 at UCLA Tuesday night. Amy Hockert and Jeff Wald break down the game on FOX 9's All Day.

Those Gophers teammates combined to score 49 points while shooting a combined 19 for 26 from the field as Minnesota earned an otherwise ragged Big Ten Conference victory over the Boilermakers, 74-61,

There’s plenty at stake for both teams, as the No. 2 spot in the Big Ten is on the line. Ahead of tip-off, the University of Michigan tops the Big Ten with a 12-2 conference record, and Michigan State (11-3) and Purdue (11-4) follow.

Purdue lost four in a row in February 2020. The Boilermakers had never lost even three straight since until Tuesday night in East Lansing.

Below, we put together our five takeaways from a game that MSU badly needed before their huge road match-up against Michigan on Saturday. The absolute most encouraging part of this win for Michigan State was their fast break offense.
