FULLER S FOUR THINGS TO WATCH:
Changing of the guards
When the Gophers took a foreign tour to Italy two years ago, Richard Pitino s squad wasn t led in scoring by Marcus Carr or Daniel Oturu.
Carr and Oturu earned All-Big Ten honors last season, but it was Tre Williams who stole the show that summer on the trip overseas for the team.
Fast forward to Saturday s home finale against Rutgers. Williams is ending his sophomore season displaying some of that potential he showcased when he first arrived on the U s campus.
In Wednesday s 84-65 loss at Penn State, the 6-5 Dallas native set career-highs in points (17), field goals (8), field goal attempts (14), rebounds (5) and minutes played (35).

FULLER S FOUR THINGS TO WATCH:
Carr carrying the load
In the first half of last Saturday s 78-74 loss at Nebraska, Richard Pitino was desperate for a spark when he shouted to Marcus Carr on the court that the Gophers needed him to score 40 points that night.
Easier said than done, right. Not for the U s inflammable junior point guard. Carr scored 21 of his career-high 41 points in the second half, including 15 of the team s last 19 points in the last 7 minutes and 54 seconds of the game. Almost willed us to victory, Pitino said. I m proud of him. He showed a lot of heart.
