After placing third in the Big Ten tournament and entering the NCAA championships as the fourth-ranked team in the nation, the Gophers’ expectations were high. They were following a three-year run of placing in the top three.
But this year, they took eighth.
Minnesota only scored 59.5 points at the 2015 NCAA championship over the weekend, after finishing with 104 points last year.
The Gophers finished 42.5 points behind first-place Ohio State.
