Murphy, McBrayer lead Minnesota past Harvard 65 55

Murphy, McBrayer lead Minnesota past Harvard 65-55. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jordan Murphy scored 13 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, posting his national-best 15th double-double to pace Minnesota during a grind-it-out 65-55 victory over Harvard on Saturday. Dupree McBrayer returned from a two-game absence to a lower left leg injury with a team-leading 15 points on 3-for-6 shooting from 3-point range, a big boost for the Gophers backcourt with senior point guard Nate Mason sitting out to protect a sprained left ankle. Freshman Isaiah Washington started in Mason's place and grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds to help soften the blow of a 4-for-17 shooting performance from the field. Corey Johnson led the Crimson with 12 points, going 4 for 10 from 3-point range. The rest of his teammates were 3 for 22 behind the arc.
