Big effort in loss to NorthwesternCarr (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.
ImpactCarr'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 accessoryRobbins was seen in a boot and won't play in Thursday's game against Northwestern, Marcus Fuller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ImpactThe 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.
