Lots of preparation paid off this evening, as Minnesota blew past Oklahoma Cty 114-87. "Coach did a great job for this one," said Minnesota star Fernandez. "He really studied Oklahoma Cty, figured out their tendencies, and gave us one heck of a game plan. I think we're almost getting spoiled with his great work - every game we go out there knowing exactly what our opponent is going to try. We don't always get blowouts like this, but we are always the better-prepared team."
