Gophers men’s basketball loses to Ohio State 89-88 in double overtime

Date:

Fox’s baseline runner sent the crowd into an uproar to give the Gophers a 72-68 lead with under a minute left in the first overtime. That might have been enough on any other night, but this was a game that included 24 lead changes.

“You take it on the chin,” said Fox, who had a team-high 21 points. “You take it as a group of men, and you got to find a way to get a solution from it. I hate saying that over and over again, but it’s the truth. There’s no other way around it. We don’t have a locker room that wants to fall over and quit.”

After Ohio State’s Micah Parrish was called for a travel late in the first overtime, Asuma made the second of two free throws to extend it to a 73-70 advantage with 9.4 seconds left.

Mike Mitchell Jr., who had 18 points, missed two free throws with a chance to extend it to a four-point advantage with six seconds left for the Gophers.
