In their recent games, the Gophers have demonstrated a solid offense and defense. Against USC Upstate Spartans, they secured a victory with 67 points to 53, showcasing their ability to maintain a lead throughout the game. Their field goal percentage stood at approximately 40 percent while excelling at free throws with an impressive 84 percent success rate.


The following game against Missouri Tigers was tighter, ending with just two points shy of victory for the Gophers at 68-70. Despite this loss, they continued to show strength in rebounding with a total of 44 rebounds and maintained a field goal percentage above 40 percent.


Their most notable recent performance was against UTSA Roadrunners where they dominated with over 100 points scored and won by a significant margin. The team showed exceptional shooting accuracy from both inside and beyond the arc — over half of their two-point attempts were successful along with nearly half of their three-point shots finding their mark.


The trends suggest that if Minnesota can maintain its shooting efficiency and continue dominating on rebounds as seen in past games, they will be formidable opponents for Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Fans should look out for how well Minnesota capitalizes on turnovers and fast break opportunities which have been key components of their previous wins.


The upcoming game is scheduled for November 22nd at Williams Arena in Minneapolis. Fans can catch all the action live on BTN network channel 610 starting from local time as per announced schedules. This is set to be an intriguing encounter as both teams vie for dominance on the court.
