Can P.J. Fleck flip the script against Iowa and pull off his third upset win of the season? Minnesota is a true underdog this week against the Hawkeyes, and there's pressure for a much better showing than the last two seasons. @BMTNSports predictions: bringmethesports.com/minneso…

Final in Omaha Creighton: 89 Minnesota: 86 Kyan Evans and Kai Shinholster left the game with injuries, but a statement performance from the Gophers. Game-high 32 points from Isaac Asuma.

What a freaking exhibition game between Minnesota and Creighton. This performance should bring a lot of confidence for this year's team. 2OT coming up.

STATEMENT MADE. What a weekend for Brett Larson and the Gophers. Absolutely gargantuan sweep.

Wyatt Cullen.

Breakthrough performance from Wyatt Cullen tonight. WOW.

DT Riley Sunram officially ruled out for Saturday’s game against Iowa on the Friday injury report.

Michigan State transfer Melvin Strahl is set to make his first start in a Gophers uniform tonight.

Bizarre way to announce this, but a huge win for college football to see a player like Jesse Legree respect the program that originally took a chance on him out of high school. More proof that transfer portal/contract discussions are constantly taking place throughout the season. Never want to assume too much in the modern era, but a huge development for Oregon State.

Brett Larson's first regulation win of his Gophers' tenure is a big one. In a physical game, Minnesota handed bitter rival No. 3 North Dakota its first loss of the season. It's the type of result this team and program badly needed. Immediate reaction: bringmethesports.com/brett-l…

Gophers knock off No. 3 North Dakota 5-3 for the first regulation win of the Brett Larson era. Big start to a huge rivalry weekend for U of M athletics.

This young Gophers team still has a lot of maturing to do. Sloppy end to this game; it should be an interesting five minutes.

Big night from Gophers’ offseason addition Christian Humphreys. First two goals of the season for him tonight.

Statement performance from the Gophers tonight. Significantly out-playing No. 3 North Dakota.

Christian Humphreys scores his first goal in a Minnesota uniform and the Gophers have regained a 2-1 lead. Mariucci is buzzing.

Plenty of new faces on the Gophers are getting a full introduction to the Minnesota-North Dakota rivalry tonight. Physical hockey game. Refs have not been doing Minnesota any favors... at all.

Plenty of UND fans in Minneapolis tonight. Both fanbases are going at it after North Dakota tied the game 1-1.

Gophers strike first! Great atmosphere tonight at Mariucci.

Things are getting a little chippy at Mariucci. Physical first period between Minnesota and North Dakota.
