It’s up to us, those who will add content and contribute to the discussion that takes place surrounding it, to decide what shape, open...
...star Marco Killingsworth. Puchtel held Killingsworth to 6-of-14 shooting from the field, as Minnesota scored a huge 61-42 win. After Puchtel poured in 13 points as the Golden Gophers knocked off then-No. 11 Michigan State on Feb. 11, the legend of the former Harvard football recruit began to grow...
