KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: Last season: 24-10, lost to Middle Tennessee in first round of NCAA Tournament.
Who's gone: SG Akeem Springs: He had a team-high 67 made 3-pointers in his lone season at Minnesota as a graduate transfer.
Who's back: PG Nate Mason: The senior was among 20 point guards in the country named to the preseason Bob Cousy Award watch list after being named first team All-Big Ten for 2016-17. SF Amir Coffey: The Big Ten All-Freshman Team pick from last season and the son of former Gophers standout Richard Coffey has only scratched the surface with his inside-outside, two-way ability. PF Jordan Murphy: The team's leading rebounder averaged 11.3 points per game last season. C Reggie Lynch: The Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year set a new single-season Gophers record with 114 blocked shots.
Who's new: PG Isaiah Washington: The Mr. New York Basketball award winner as the top player in the state, he was a consensus top-100 recruit. PF Davonte Fitzgerald: The fifth-year junior has two seasons of eligibility left after sitting out two years, one for a transfer from Texas A&M and one after an ACL tear and other damage to his left knee from an offseason practice.
The Skinny: Coming off a 16-win turnaround from 2015-16 and the first NCAA Tournament appearance since Pitino took over in 2013, bringing all but Springs back from their top seven scorers from last season, hopes are the highest this program has had in 20 years. Staying healthy will be the key. PF Eric Curry, who made meaningful contributions as a freshman backup, injured his left knee in an offseason pickup game and will redshirt this season.
PREVIEW
No. 14 Minnesota looks to continue unbeaten start
 

No. 14 Minnesota takes a step up in competition this weekend when it plays Massachusetts and No. 25 Alabama in the Barclays Center Classic in New York.

The Golden Gophers (5-0) will first play UMass (3-1) on Friday at the Steinberg Wellness Center at LIU Brooklyn. They face No. 25 Alabama on Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Minnesota has an impressive 86-74 win at Providence, but it has also beaten at home overmatched opponents USC Upstate, Niagara, Western Carolina and Alabama A&M.

Tuesday's 100-57 win over Alabama A&M allowed coach Richard Pitino to go 10 players deep with his rotation and still rest his starters. The bench scored a season-high 42 points.

Jordan Murphy had a team-high 20 points, 10 rebounds and four steals in 22 minutes. Murphy was the only starter to play in the last 10 minutes of the game.

The Gophers shot 61 percent from the field and forced 19 turnovers.

"I wanted our starters playing crisp minutes together," Pitino said. "I saw that, and I thought they were really good. And then obviously, I wanted to get the bench guys some minutes."

UMass tried to stay crisp as well in an 85-76 win over Western Carolina on Tuesday at its Mullins Center that was without a pep band, cheerleaders and its usual student crowd because of Thanksgiving break. The Minutemen overcame the lack of spark by pulling away in the waning minutes.

"I'm happy we won. Take nothing away from a victory, but I think we're going to be able to take a lot from this game," UMass coach Matt McCall said. "We'll break it down and really, really learn a lot of different things. I was not happy with our effort at shoot-around, much less our effort to start the game. ... We were too loose and it completely showed to start the game."

Luwane Pipkins led UMass with 21 points and a career-high 10 assists. Carl Pierre had 15 points. Malik Hines added 11 points and nine rebounds.

McCall, in his first season with UMass after coaching two years at Chattanooga, has only eight scholarship players on his roster.

Seven players transferred after his hire in March. Four incoming transfers are not eligible this season. The biggest blow was fifth-year point guard Jaylen Brantley diagnosed with a heart condition that ended his career.

"You can never prepare for that as a coach," McCall told the Boston Herald. "The guys haven't flinched. They're like, 'All right coach, what's next? Let's get better.' For me as a coach, that's all you can ask for."

UMass will face an experienced Minnesota lineup led by senior point guard Nate Mason, who started against Alabama A&M and made his first five shots and scored all of his 12 points in the first half. He earned All-Big Ten first-team honors last season.

While McCall is short on scholarship players, Pitino was able to dig deep into his bench Tuesday, giving freshmen Isaiah Washington and Jamir Harris and junior Davonte Fitzgerald more opportunities.

Washington finished with six points on 2-for-8 shooting, but he had eight assists with only two turnovers in 21 minutes. Harris scored 11 points in 18 minutes. Fitzgerald had 13 points and eight rebounds in 19 minutes.

"These next five games will be pretty big," Fitzgerald said. "The bench, we're going to have to step up a lot. The starting five really has a good flow going out there. So our job is to come in and not have any downfalls."
