Minnesota spent the better part of the last few weeks of the regular season on the NCAA Tournament bubble.
Gabe Kalscheur scored 24 points to lead 10th-seeded Minnesota to an 86-76 victory over seventh-seeded Louisville on Thursday in the first round of the East Region at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa. The Gophers advance to take on second-seeded and Big Ten foe Michigan State. The Spartans beat 15th-seeded Bradley 76-65.
“We were really locked in,” Minnesota coach Richard Pitino told CBS after the game. “For 40 minutes, we stuck to the scouting report. We disrupted them, we bothered them. We beat a really good Louisville team.” Minnesota shook off a poor start from the field by making 10 of its final 14 shots in the opening half, taking multiple seven-point leads and getting a Coffey 3-pointer in the final seconds to take a 38-33 lead into the locker room.
