Minnesota center Ralph Sampson III scored 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds in a 69-47 win over St. Peter's. Sampson III not only shot 6-for-9 from the field, but also contributed with four assists and four blocks.
Sampson III has missed three entire games this season and had limited use in three other games, only leaving five healthy games for the senior. With Trevor Mbakwe's absence, Sampson III will be asked to shoulder a huge load for the Golden Gophers.
