Minnesota coach Niko Medved has prioritized unselfishness among his players this season.

After one game, Medved is thrilled with what he is seeing.

Minnesota will look to continue its promising start when it tips off against Alcorn State (0-2) on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis. The Golden Gophers are coming off an 87-60 win over Gardner-Webb in their season opener, Medved's first game at the helm.

Medved wants his players to continue to look for open teammates against Alcorn State.

"What's so fun is when the ball has energy, your team has energy," Medved said. "Guys know if I give it up, I'm going to get it back. (Trade a) good shot for a great shot. If I cut hard to get my teammate open, it's funny how the game rewards that kind of thing."
