per Marcus:
Gophers sophomore center Daniel Oturu battled all night with Penn State's frontcourt of Lamar Stevens and Mike Watkins, not only physically but verbally during Wednesday's gritty 75-69 win at Williams Arena.
That competitveness spilled over into the postgame handshake line as well. Oturu was so bothered by what Stevens apparently said as their paths crossed that he had to be separated by teammates.
Oturu, who finished with 26 points and 14 rebounds, was facing the Big Ten Network cameras, so his words and heated reaction to Stevens were clearly caught on video.
"Two sides to everything," Gophers coach Richard Pitino said Wednesday about Oturu jarring with Stevens during the game. "Bottom line is especially when you're down let's get a lead or something first (he said jokingly). They got good kids. We've got good kids. It was just a hard fought game."
