Tollackson perfect in win over Northwestern
Gophers center Spencer Tollackson stands 6’9″ and 260 pounds, and before Wednesday’s game, the burly senior had never had a perfect game; that’s no longer true. Against the Wildcats, it was Tollackson who went wild, shooting a perfect seven of seven from the floor and five of five from the charity stripe.
It was Tollackson who led the way against Northwestern as the Gophers offered Tubby Smith win number 401 of his career as part of the 92-72 victory. Minnesota now stands 14-7 overall, 4-5 in the Big 10, and they’ll need to finish a little better than .500 the rest of the way to secure a spot in post-season play. While the Williams Arena crowd was sparse for the midweek match-up, if the place had been packed, one would have needed Bose headphones to keep the roar to a manageable level.
