It didn't take long for MarchMadness to produce its first upset.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Minnesota found its elusive 3-point stroke just in time to give coach Richard Pitino the NCAA Tournament win he’d been seeking for years.
“This wasn’t about getting the win for coach Pitino. It was about getting the win for us in general and advancing to the next round,” said Minnesota’s Jordan Murphy, who scored 18 points. “That’s what makes him happy, and that’s what makes us happy.” Louisville then fouled Kalscheur behind the 3-point line, where he pushed the Gophers’ edge to 19 with 9:48 to go.Murphy’s 3 with 5:28 left — just his seventh all year — made it a 15-point game and typified just how well things were rolling for Minnesota.
