The No. 9 Minnesota Gophers placed fifth overall in the 2021 Big Ten wrestling championships.

Minnesota only finished with 17 runs in its first four games of the season, 13 of which all came in one game against Rutgers Sunday.

Shane Wiskus returned, and so did the Gophers men’s gymnastics team’s winning ways against Penn State.

Freshman Mya Hooten earned a perfect 10 on floor as the Gophers cruised past Nebraska for their fourth consecutive team victory.

The Gophers lost their seventh consecutive game in what felt like Richard Pitino’s last home game as the head coach of Minnesota.

The Gophers will not receive an automatic bid for the NCAA tournament after a loss to Wisconsin. They will find out on Sunday whether they make the tournament.

Every time the Gophers found the back of the net, Michigan seemed always to have an answer.

Minnesota has five top-25 wins, including two top-10 wins, but also has lost to the two worst teams in the conference and is currently on a six-game losing streak.

Minnesota was without two starters and four players overall, an absence that proved too much to overcome in its regular-season finale.

It will have been almost two weeks since Minnesota has played when it returns to Maturi Pavilion on March 12-13.
