Detroit Lakes, MN (KDLM) -The Minnesota Gophers pulled off a statement victory Wednesday night, knocking off the 10th-ranked Michigan State Spartans 76-73 at Williams Arena.
Minnesota controlled the first half, building a commanding 32-21 lead at the break. The Gophers maintained their advantage through much of the second half, though Michigan State mounted a late rally that fell just short as the home team held on for the three-point win.
Jaylen Crocker-Johnson paced the Gophers with a game-high 22 points, while Cade Tyson added 17 points in the winning effort.
The victory improves Minnesota’s record to 11-12 overall and 4-8 in Big Ten play. The Gophers will look to build on the upset when they host Maryland on Sunday at Williams Arena.
