Gophers’ Grayson Grove was humbled by Dawson Garcia, but it helped
Grayson Grove secured Minnesota's starting spot after front-court injuries and strong performances, averaging 12 points and 8 rebounds in recent wins, coach Niko Medved said.
- On Saturday at Williams Arena, Grove moved into Minnesota's starting lineup after injuries to front‑court starters, showing effort in the win over Rutgers.
- During practices Grove was matched with Dawson Garcia, fifth-year senior and former Big Ten top scorer/rebounder, now with the Detroit Pistons' G-League team, and Grove said it forced him to move his feet and play more physical.
- Coach Niko Medved praised Grove's effort, saying `He just plays really, really hard; that's a skill,` and highlighted his improvement on the boards, reflecting his larger role last week.
- With Grove the only remaining healthy post player, Minnesota must match up against formidable Michigan bigs Yaxel Lendenborg, Morez Johnson and Aday Mara at the Crisler Center on Tuesday night.
- Grove said `I think was probably the best-case scenario` and that continuity under Medved helped his development, as he was retained from last year's team.
