The Gophers continue their climb in the AP basketball poll.
After two more wins — against South Dakota State and USC — Minnesota is now ranked 13th in the nation, up one spot from last week.
The 10-1 Gophers host North Dakota State tomorrow night at Williams Arena.
After that, Tubby Smith’s team has just one more game — on Dec. 22 — before opening the Big 10 season against Michigan State on Dec. 31.
