The Gophers lost their third straight game Wednesday night, falling to Purdue 77-74 in triple overtime.
“We’ve got a pretty disappointed team [in the locker room],” head coach Richard Pitino told reporters after the game. “We’re close.”
The Gophers were dominated on the glass all game, and that proved to be the difference.
Purdue corralled an astonishing 23 offensive rebounds and used that to score valuable second-chance points.
