Rutgers beaten down at home by Minnesota

PISCATAWAY, Nj -- -- Minnesota (14-2, 5-1 Big Ten) jumped out to a 27-7 lead in the first ten minutes of the game and cruised from there to a 78-61 victory. The Gophers outscored the Rutgers Scarlet Knights () 45-26 in the first half as the hapless Knights turned the ball over 18 times in the period.
