Biggest key to the game to me so far is once the Gophers finally tied the game, their next four possessions were 3 bad shots (ranging from not that bad to absolutely horrific) and a turnover. On those four possessions, I am not sure more than 2 guys ever touched the ball once it past half court. Lack of ball movement was a major theme in the last 5-7 minutes of that half with the Gophers frequently not passing the ball a single time before someone jacked up a shot. I thought Pitino was late to get a timeout in aforementioned sequence where he let those all 4 of those terrible possessions happen and Tech pushed out to an 8 or 10 point lead.
I didn't want to put this first because the Gophers poor play deserves the headline, but they've been absolutely f'd by the officials today. At least 3 incorrectly called block/charges went against them on the offensive end, a questionable travel on Morris, and at least a couple phantom fouls on the defensive end as well.
It's going to be a long year watching Carlos Morris play. His peaks and valley's were really extreme...in just one half of basketball.
