“One game into the Big Ten season, the Minnesota Gophers already have surpassed most people’s expectations.<\/p>\n

“‘Two months ago, people said we wouldn’t win a game, let alone a Big Ten game,’ Gophers coach Dan Monson said.<\/p>\n

“How about nine in row?<\/p>\n

“Aaron Robinson hit six 3-pointers to finish with 19 points, Jeff Hagen added 18 and Minnesota opened conference play with its ninth straight victory, beating Penn State 83-62 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

“The Gophers’ winning streak is the longest under Monson, whose team hasn’t lost since falling 70-69 to Florida State on Nov. 30. Minnesota last won nine in a row in 1997, when the Gophers had 12 straight victories. That season was wiped from the record books, though, after the Clem Haskins academic fraud scandal.<\/p>\n

“This year’s team probably would prefer to delete last season, also. A year ago, Minnesota lost its Big Ten opener to the Nittany Lions, the first of nine straight conference losses. Hagen said the team had high expectations last year.<\/p>\n

“‘This year it’s nice to be able to back it up,’ he said with a grin. ‘We’re actually going to do well this year.’<\/p>\n

“Minnesota (11-3, 1-0 Big Ten) entered this season with extremely low expectations with the losses of forward Kris Humphries to the NBA, point guard Adam Boone to a torn biceps tendon and guard Moe Hargrow to ineligibility.<\/p>\n

“Only five lettermen are back from last year’s team. But Robinson and Hagen – two of those lettermen – provided Minnesota, which led by as many as 29 points, the impressive outside-inside combination on Saturday night the Gophers badly lacked in recent seasons. …”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
