FULLER'S FOUR THINGS TO WATCH: Carr carrying the load In the first half of last Saturday's 78-74 loss at Nebraska, Richard Pitino was desperate for a spark when he shouted to Marcus Carr on the court that the Gophers needed him to score 40 points that night.

Carr scored 21 of his career-high 41 points in the second half, including 15 of the team's last 19 points in the last 7 minutes and 54 seconds of the game. "Almost willed us to victory," Pitino said.
