Gophers starting to slide

The Minnesota men's basketball team has struggled the last couple of games and have fallen in the standings. The slide started when the Gophers were upset by Northwestern early in the week and then the Gophers got beat by Purdue. The lost that was the worst was the lose to Northwestern, Gophers were suppose to win easily but they had problems with rebounding and with shooting. Then the next game against Purdue had some of the same problems but it was a closer game. The biggest problems were rebounding and missing the three, the Gophers went 3 for 19 from three point range and Purdue went 6 for 11 and that played a big part in the game. The Gophers have some tough games coming up, they play Indiana which is a game that they should win and then they get two tough games in a row. The first game is against 24 ranked Illinois and then they go to 7 ranked Michigan State.
