per the Daily:
The Gophers tried to rely on senior leadership early this season, but in the midst of a seven-game losing streak Minnesota has turned to its talented young players to try to find a victory.
In the team’s last two games head coach Richard Pitino has taken his two seniors, guard Carlos Morris and forward Joey King, out of the starting lineup and replaced both with freshmen.
“You got to try different things when you’re losing like we’re losing,” Pitino said.
The head coach started guards Dupree McBrayer and Ahmad Gilbert at Nebraska and again against Indiana Saturday. The two joined an already young starting lineup with freshman forward Jordan Murphy, sophomore guard Nate Mason and sophomore center Bakary Konaté.
