MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. ? Seventy Six years after the first meeting between South Dakota State and Minnesota, the Gophers held a 9-0 series advantage entering play Thursday night at historic Williams Arena in Minneapolis.

Andy Kleinjan opened the scoring with a three-point basket to put the Jacks up 3-0. The next time down the floor, Michael Loney nailed a three, and the Jacks went up 6-0. SDSU jumped out to an 8-2 lead, but it quickly vanished, and turned into a 45-28 halftime lead for Minnesota behind 20 first half points from junior Dan Coleman.
