Final Thoughts:
After getting to the line in the 1st Half, Gophers went to their bigs of Robbins and Curry. And it look like a usual Summit/Big Ten Squash basketball game. For the Roos, the question you get out of the this game, is can their slow pace be able to handle the likes of South Dakota State in the Summit. 

Kangaroos will head to Ohio, to face Toledo Rockets on Saturday. While Gophers will head to Urbana-Champaign, to face Illinois on Tuesday.
