The first basket of the game for Minnesota's Amir Coffey, a 3-pointer, made it 54-40 with 14:42 remaining. Copeland made a 3-pointer and a layup three minutes later to pull the Aggies within 58-51.

That was as close as the visitors came. Murphy reached the 30-point mark with 3:52 left when he dropped in a layup, giving Minnesota a 75-63 lead.
