Gophers men’s basketball team adds Macalester transfer

The Gophers men’s basketball team picked up a commitment from Macalester transfer guard Caleb Williams on Wendesday.

Gophers fans will be familiar with Williams, who scored 41 points against the U in an exhibition game in November. The Wild Rose, Wis., native averaged 21.4 points per game for the Division III program last year.

Williams has one season of eligibility left for the U. He is the third addition to the Gophers roster this offseason, joining Oregon Guard Brennan Rigsby and Canisius forward Frank Mitchell.

Big Ten opponents released

The Gophers now have at least three vacant scholarship spots for next year’s roster.

Minnesota’s men’s basketball schedule just got more interesting Wednesday when the Big Ten announced its first schedule including new conference members Oregon, Southern Cal, UCLA and Washington.

The Gophers will play all four as part of a 20-game, regular-season conference schedule that includes 17 opponents.

Minnesota will play Oregon and Washington at Williams Arena, and USC and UCLA on the road. The Gophers will play three schools twice, home and away, next season: Michigan State, Penn State and Wisconsin.

Dates, times and broadcast information will follow at a later date, as well the Big Ten’s plans for the conference tournament in March.
