The Gophers started the season 15-1, including 3-0 in the Big Ten, but since then they are on a four-game losing streak. Part of the reason is the dropoff in production from senior forward Rodney Williams. Here is a look at Williams during the first 16 games and during the past four:FIRST 16
Averaged 12.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game on 54.7 percent shooting from the field. Led the team in scoring a team-high five times.
PAST FOUR
Averaged 7.8 points and 4.0 rebounds per game on 31.6 percent shooting. Scored only two points in the first half of a loss at Indiana that started the losing streak and missed a free throw in closing moments of one-point loss at Wisconsin, a game during which he scored only two points and went 0-for-6 from the field.
