per the Daily:
In short, Hollins cannot be the only player to produce for the Gophers game-after-game if the team expects to make any progress in saving its season.
Someone else needs to step up.
It could be senior DeAndre Mathieu, whose play has drastically regressed since last season.
Mathieu proved to be instrumental to the Gophers’ success during his first year, but his scoring has decreased from 12 points per game to 8.3 this season.
It even reached the point where Pitino temporarily benched the senior in favor of freshman Nate Mason. Mathieu is averaging less than seven points per contest in Big Ten play.
Maybe it’s Walker who gets the Gophers over the hump, or perhaps junior Joey King gets on a hot streak.
Either way, Minnesota has a long break — until Purdue comes to town this Saturday — to decide who will play the pivotal role of Hollins’ sidekick.
