Minnesota guard Julian Welch compiled six assists in a 63-59 loss to Iowa on Wednesday. Welch also contributed with 12 points and five rebounds, but did happen to turn the ball over five times as well.
Welch has been a solid pickup for the Golden Gophers, averaging 10.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists during his first season with the club. His solid play on Wednesday was a good sign, considering he only scored two points against Illinois last Saturday.
