It's clear that while Quad 1 wins are important, it's arguably more important to dominate Quads 2-4. Minnesota has three Quad 1 wins but they still find themselves barely in the top 100 because of those three losses in Quads 2 and 3.

After trailing by four at halftime, Minnesota came from behind to beat Penn State 69-61 on the road. The win moves Minnesota to 4-8 in the Big Ten, having won four of their last 6 games after starting 0-6.
