Lions fall at Big Ten tournament


ASSOCIATED PRESS Penn State’s Tim Frazier, middle, goes up for a basket against Minnesota’s Damian Johnson and Devoe Joseph in the first half Thursday during a Big Ten tournament game in Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota knows it would greatly enhance its NCAA tournament resume by beating Michigan State on Friday.

Of course, the Golden Gophers want to get in the old-fashioned way.

Devoe Joseph scored 15 points to help Minnesota beat Penn State 76-55 on Thursday night in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. Colton Iverson scored 12 points, Damian Johnson scored 11 and Lawrence Westbrook added 10 for the Golden Gophers (19-12), who advanced to play No. 11 Michigan State on Friday in a quarterfinal.

A win over the Spartans would give the Golden Gophers that magic number of 20 victories, and it would come against a ranked team. The sixth-seeded Golden Gophers have won five of their last seven, including a victory over now-No. 13 Wisconsin.

Still, Minnesota won’t buy into the hype, knowing that the only sure thing is a tournament title.
