MINNEAPOLIS — Evidence of progress for the Minnesota Gophers has finally become public. Their loyal star Dawson Garcia has had his fingerprints all over it. He's third in the Big Ten in scoring at 19.7 points per game, 11th in rebounds and 13th in blocks. Garcia had 31 points to fuel an upset of Oregon on Saturday and a buzzer-beating shot near half court to beat Michigan in overtime on Jan. 16. Those were Minnesota's first two wins over ranked teams in four seasons under coach Ben Johnson. The Gophers play at seventh-ranked Michigan State on Tuesday.
