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.

Sporting leg accessory Robbins was seen in a boot and won't play in Thursday's game against Northwestern, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact The junior will miss his first game of the season Thursday, as he's yet to practice in the past few days due to the ankle issue. The fact that Robbins was seen in a boot certainly isn't a good sign, as he still has no time table for a return. With Robbins sidelined, look for Eric Curry to draw the start in Thursday's game.

Still not practicing Robbins (ankle) is still not practicing according to coach Richard Pitino, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Robbins has been dealing with an ankle injury for the last couple weeks that his limited in games pretty heavily. Coach Pitino has been mixing things up in practice trying to test different lineups to see how they fair without Robbins taking up the middle. Robbins should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against Northwestern.

Scoreless against Illinois Robbins generated zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists, four blocks and one rebound over 13 minutes in Saturday's 94-63 loss to Illinois.

He struggled against Illinois center Kofi Cockburn and was held scoreless for the first time this season. Robbins was dominant earlier in the season, but he's averaging just 5.2 points and 4.8 rebounds over 20.0 minutes per game across the past five matchups.

In starting five Robbins (ankle) will start Saturday's game against Illinois, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Robbins' availability is big news for the Golden Gophers as they attempt to contain Illinois star center Kofi Cockburn. Robbins stands seven feet tall himself and will presumably be charged with the task. He may also find it challenging to rack up offensive numbers Saturday with Cockburn presumably set to guard him as well.

Warming up Saturday Robbins (ankle) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Illinois, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Robbins has been dealing with an ankle issue since last week but appears to be attempting to give it a go in a tough test against Illinois. It may be a long afternoon for Robbins who won't be at 100 percent and will have to match up against one of the most tenacious big men in the country in Kofi Cockburn.

Hopes to play versus Illini Robbins continues to sit out practice to rest his bad ankle but hopes to play Saturday against Illinois, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Robbins hasn't missed a game yet this season and he's doing everything he can to keep that the case. It's probably best to consider him questionable for Saturday and to operate under the assumption that the junior big man is less than 100 percent even if he does take the floor.

Set for surgery Kalscheur will undergo surgery on his right hand's broken finger and will miss the next 3-to-4 weeks, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Kalscheur's injury surfaced during practice and will, unfortunately, leave the Gophers without one of their primary shooters down the stretch. Kalschur had struggled to find his stroke from range this season, shooting a career-low 25 percent from beyond the arc, and missing time certainly won't do his shooting stroke any favors.
