Treyton Thompson - Quiet in win Thompson chipped in two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists over 19 minutes during Friday's 72-54 win over St. Francis Brooklyn.

Impact Thompson has earned a starting role but a meager five total points and seven rebounds through two games isn't much to shout about. As he's made just two shots from the field in nine attempts, Thompson won't be able to do much if he can't work out his shooting by conference play.

Braeden Carrington - Game-time decision Friday Carrington (ankle) is a game-time decision Friday versus St. Francis (NY), according to Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Jaden Henley - Limited in win Henley racked up four points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 61-60 win over Western Michigan.

Impact Henley didn't exactly have much go his way during a tough game to open the season. Though Ta'lon Cooper and Dawson Garcia scored a combined 40 points, Henley will need to step up if he's to keep his place in the starting rotation in his first year with the Gophers.

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ta'Lon Cooper - Doesn't leave court in win Cooper amassed 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks over 40 minutes during Monday's 61-60 win over Western Michigan.

Impact Cooper averaged 33.8 minutes per game at Morehead State last season but took that to a new level by playing for the entirety of his first game for the Gophers. While it might be difficult to keep that up over an entire season, Cooper was just two rebounds away from a triple-double and will certainly offer a boost as a board-friendly point guard.
