FULLER S FOUR THINGS TO WATCH: Defending the paint Most teams don t have a shot-blocking presence like Liam Robbins roaming the paint. It s been a luxury for the Gophers to have a 7-footer to erase some of the mistakes they ve made defensively, but they ve seen recently what life is like without him. Robbins reaggravated a sprained ankle in Saturday s 94-63 loss against No. 5 Illinois, so he s out for Thursday s game against Northwestern. The Drake transfer had his left ankle in a walking boot before the game. He averaged 13 points, seven rebounds and nearly three blocks before hurting his ankle in the second half of a Feb. 11 win vs. Purdue at home. Robbins combined for seven blocks in the last two games, but he clearly needed rest. He averaged just two points and three rebounds in the last three games in limited minutes.
