Minnesota Golden Gophers News

Robert Vaihola - Set to miss rest of season Vaihola (knee) is set to have season-ending knee surgery on Friday, Andy Greder of the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Vaihola has not played since Nov. 18 when he initially aggravated this knee injury. The San Jose State transfer unfortunately suffered the worst-possible outcome and will miss the remainder of his senior season. Grayson Grove figures to hold an important depth role in the frontcourt for the rest of the year with Vaihola permanently sidelined.

Jaylen Crocker-Johnson - Productive in win over FDU Crocker-Johnson provided 17 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 60-43 win over FDU.

Impact Crocker-Johnson needed 14 shots to reach 17 points, so it wasn't the most efficient outing from the junior. Still, he hit 50 percent of his three-pointers and was strong on the glass with seven boards. Crocker-Johnson has been inconsistent in terms of putting both scoring and rebounding together, but the forward is still in the midst of a career year and is primed to be a huge asset for the Gophers in conference play.

Bobby Durkin - Another solid outing Durkin logged 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 78-50 win over Campbell.

Impact Durkin has turned a corner since entering the starting lineup for Minnesota four games ago, averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in that span. He's also been solid from beyond the arc all season, and canned three triples in the win over Campbell. Durkin is quickly developing into a key piece for the Gophers as conference play looms.

Isaac Asuma - All-around effort in win Asuma had 15 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists, two blocks and three steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 78-50 win over Campbell.

Impact Asuma has double-digit points and six assists in each of his last two games. Sure, they were easy wins against overmatched opponents, but it's good to see the sophomore guard pick up steam with the meat of conference play right around the corner. Asuma has been one of the Gophers' best facilitators this season, averaging 4.7 assists across 12 games thus far.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Cade Tyson - Continues to pour on points Tyson closed with 24 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 78-50 win over Campbell.

Impact After going for 38 points against Texas Southern, Tyson stayed hot against Campbell, dropping 24 points on 15 shots, including three three-pointers. The guard also dished out a season-high five assists while pulling down seven boards -- he was all over the floor for the Gophers. One more buy game remains before Minnesota jumps into the thick of conference play.

Cade Tyson - Explodes vs. Texas Southern Tyson chipped in 38 points (11-19 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 89-53 victory over Texas Southern.

Impact Tyson has been a walking bucket since he got to Minneapolis, but the UNC transfer took his game to another level in the Gophers' win over Texas Southern on Sunday. He poured on 38 points while hitting a career-high eight triples, and wound up with his first double-double of the year as well as he dominated the glass with 11 rebounds. Tyson has been a revelation in Dinkytown this season, and with Campbell and Fairleigh-Dickinson up next, he has a great chance to keep it up.

Grayson Grove - Six points off the bench Grove accumulated six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one assist and one steal across 12 minutes during Sunday's 89-53 victory over Texas Southern.

Impact Grove's six points off the bench were a career high for the freshman forward. He's been getting more involved as of late, and his five field goal attempts were also the most shots he's put up as a Gopher. Grove has quietly earned a solid role immediately upon stepping on campus in Minneapolis, but don't expect a big outing from him anytime soon.

BJ Omot - Return timeline uncertain Omot (leg) doesn't have a timetable for return, Ryan James of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact A previous report indicated Omot was targeting a late December return. While Sunday's update doesn't rule that out, it somewhat muddies Omot's status. The forward hasn't appeared in a game this season due to a stress fracture in his shin that he sustained in June.

Robert Vaihola - No timetable for return Vaihola (knee) doesn't have a timetable for return, Ryan James of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Vaihola hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 18 due to a knee injury, and it appears the veteran center isn't nearing a return. In his absence, Bobby Durkin has stepped into a larger role.

Last Night in College Basketball: No. 10 Iowa State Passes Test vs. No. 11 Iowa

Jaylen Crocker-Johnson - Leading scorer as Gophers fall Crocker-Johnson provided 17 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 85-57 loss to Purdue.

Impact Crocker-Johnson was Minnesota's leading scorer against Purdue, but he needed 13 shots for his 17 points and was nearly a non-factor in the paint, pulling down a season-low two rebounds. The Boilermakers will give plenty of teams trouble this season, and it's good to see Crocker-Johnson still manage to have a solid night even in defeat. He should be primed to stack good performances, as the Gophers' next three opponents are Texas Southern, Campbell and Fairleigh-Dickinson.

DECEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kai Shinholster - Held in check off the bench Shinholster ended Wednesday's 85-57 loss to Purdue with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 18 minutes.

Impact Shinholster's minutes have fluctuated significantly, but his 18 minutes in the loss to Purdue was his second-highest playing time on the season. Still, he only offered two points on 1-of-4 shooting, unable to make a true impact as Minnesota got lapped in the second half en route to a sound defeat. Ultimately, Shinholster isn't yet a regular contributor for the Gophers this season.
