Racks up 41 in defeat Carr had 41 points (11-27 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 13-16 FT), four rebounds, four steals and three assists across 40 minutes in Saturday's 78-74 loss to Nebraska.
Impact The Gophers have been dealing with multiple injuries to key players in both the frontcourt and backcourt, so Carr -- who was already a sizable usage leader -- has been forced to carry extra responsibility. That's been exceptional for fantasy players looking to make a push down the final stretch, but not so hot for the team, which has lost five games in a row. The most recent pair of losses against Northwestern and Nebraska have dealt a major blow to the Minnesota tournament resume, as both were considered Quad 3 games (Nebraska had just one conference win entering Saturday).

Big effort in loss to Northwestern Carr (foot) tallied 21 points (5-17 FG, 3-11 3PT, 8-8 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and a steal over 38 minutes Thursday versus Northwestern.
Impact Carr's inefficiency may have cost the Gophers in the end, as he knocked down fewer than a third of his shots and connected on just 27.3 percent of his attempts from beyond the ark. Still, it's at least good the Carr was able to take the floor for Minnesota considering he was battling some foot soreness leading up to the game.
