Too close for comfort

Generally, the first few games on the schedule are suppose to be cupcakes, easy wins to pad a team’s NCAA tournament resume while getting ready for stiffer challenges down the road against better non-conference opponents and Big Ten foes.
Sure, Bowling Green gave Minnesota all they could handle back on Nov. 15 in the NABC Classic at the Metrodome, trailing the Golden Gophers by just three points with a little over three minutes left in the game before losing…
That game was too close for sure. They pulled ahead and then let the Falcons back in it with less than a minute to go. I like Turner very much but he needs more control when the game is on the line.
