Pitino puts to rest the comments from Ellis who suggested it was turf-toe and NBA worries for Hollins.
Per Chip:
Richard Pitino listened to a number of different theories from reporters fishing for reasons that might explain why his two senior guards, Andre Hollins and DeAndre Mathieu, played like lost tourists in Manhattan during the Gophers’ first two Big Ten games.
Was Hollins’ turf toe injury to blame?
“No,” Pitino said. “He’s fine.”
OK, is Hollins affected by the stress of not knowing where or if he’ll get to play professionally next season?
“I think seniors go through, ‘Where am I going to be next year?’ Everybody deals with it,” Pitino said. “But I don’t see the weight of the world on his shoulders. I don’t feel like he’s frustrated.”
OK, but Mathieu does have a lot of demands at home with an infant son, so …
“You’re blaming the kid for the turnovers?” Pitino cracked. “I think he’s just over-penetrating.”
