Call it whatever you want, the Gophers got out-physicaled, outmuscled, pushed around.
Take a look at the box score and it's virtually identical between Miami and Minny, except for Rebounds; Miami +9 (+6 on Off Boards).
I thought the refs really let things go as far as the physical play, PARTICULARLY when it came to the screens that the Canes were setting on the offensive end. Lots of moving screens, illegal screens, and knees sticking out to slow defenders. Not one single call on it but you have to adapt and the Gophers didn't.
Hate to say it since they haven't played a game yet but Mbakwe and White would help the MOST where the Gophers need it right now; muscle and rebounding. Would have been entertaining watching Trevor duke it out with Dwayne Collins in the paint tonight.
