Minnesota beat Wisconsin at the Badgers' Kohl Center - where Wisconsin is 115-8 under Bo Ryan - 78-74 in overtime. It was the Gophers' first win at Wisconsin 15 years. The Gophers rallied back in the second half, after falling down by double digits due to a 7-minute scoring drought in the first half. Lawrence Westbrook led the Gophers with 29, and hit a 3 at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime.
Minnesota head coach Tubby Smith has done a remarkable job turning this Minnesota program around in just his second year. Smith inherited a team that was 9-22 in the season prior to his arrival, and led them to a 20-14 record last year. And this season, he's got the #17 Gophers off to a 16-1 start.
