Minnesota has been waiting for almost two weeks to turn the page on a pair of ugly losses.On Saturday afternoon, Minnesota finally will get the chance to do just that. The Golden Gophers (6-5) will return to the court to host Fairleigh Dickinson (4-9) in Minneapolis.Minnesota will try to avoid its first three-game losing streak of the season. The Golden Gophers are coming off a 90-72 loss at home to Michigan State on Dec. 4, followed by an 82-67 loss at Indiana on Dec. 9.Golden Gophers big man Parker Fox said he and his teammates were eager to get a sour taste out of their mouths from their recent performances.”These last 10 days have been tough,” Fox said. “But we’ve been learning a lot about how hard it is to win.”Minnesota coach Ben Johnson said he is looking for a complete effort.”I think we play hard in glimpses, but we don’t play hard long enough,” Johnson said. “We pointed it out over and over that when we do play hard, and we stick to our scheme on offense and defense, good things happen. When we don’t, there’s a big gap between our success and failure.”FDU also is looking for a spark, although it has had far less time to dwell on recent struggles. The Knights are coming off a 77-72 loss at La Salle on Wednesday, which marked their fifth defeat in six games.
