Minnesota should be strong in several areas this season. If the Gophers are going to finally put together that NCAA tournament run their fans have been waiting for since coach Tubby Smith arrived, they'll need the sharp outside shooting and careful ball-handling they had in this blowout of South Dakota State. Andre Hollins scored 20 of his 22 points before halftime, swishing his first six 3-point attempts, and No. 14 Minnesota breezed to an 88-64 victory on Tuesday over a South Dakota State team missing star point guard Nate Wolters.
