Garner Road 72 D1 Minnesota 62 16s 3SSB Bracket play D1MN: Emmanuel Oyesanmi 22pts/6rb (7-18fg, 6-9ft, 2 3s), KJ Wilson 14pts/7rb (5-15fg), Daniel Zoa 13pts/6rb/3ast/2bl (5-6fg), Jamir Davis 9pts/4rb (3-7fg)

Emmanuel Oysenami has been brilliant the past four weeks and he's continuing that play keeping D1 Minnesota 16s within a point of Garner Road with 9 minutes left. The Tartan 2028 has 22 points

D1 Minnesota is down 31-34 to Garner Road at half, but that is one of the best halves of play I have seen from 2028 Daniel Zoa The 6'6 forward from TG had 11 points on five attempts, five boards, two assists and two blocks in about a dozen minutes.

Where we at Gopher Gazette have spotted #Gophers coaches this week: Dave Thorson in Chicago (Gus McKenna, Teke Deng, etc) Aaron Katsuma in Rock Hill (KJ Wilson, Ahmed Nur, etc) Niko Medved at Peach Jam (Isaiah Santos, Malik Olajuwon , etc)

Loud woman on Garner Road bench says "back off him, back off" so Daniel Zoa hits a three for @adidasD1MN Zoa (from Totino-Grace) has four early scores, D1 down 19-23 in 3SSB bracket play

Malachi Hill took a charge in half two and that was a huge momentum building play for @adidasD1MN Hill put the game away with clutch foul shooting

Outstanding job by Tyler Forrest running the point in half two and moving the ball for @adidasD1MN to consistently get the right shots

D1 Minnesota 79 Upward Stars 63 3SSB 17s final @adidasD1MN: Jack Thelen 19pts/3rb (9-12fg), Malachi Hill 16pts/5rb (3-8fg, 9-11ft), Vince Cronin 16pts/8rb/3ast (5-13fg, 5-6ft), Deon Wallace Johnson 6pts/6rb (2-3fg), Baboucarr Ann 6pts (3-6fg), Tyler Forrest 10pts/4rb/6ast (5-6ft)

Tyler Forrest and Deon Wallace-Johnson have hounded Upward Stars guards moving their feet around and off ball screens. Their defense has been the second half catalyst for a 54-41 lead in bracket play

D1 Minnesota up 47-40 on Upward Stars in this 17s bracket game Deon Wallace-Johnson has made a huge impact off the bench with 8 boards so far, 3 scores, and he's been the only D1 backcourt player able to consistently move on D with these Upward Stars guards High level effort on D
