per Marcus:
Richard Pitino talked about making a lineup change after the Gophers' humbling 14-point loss to South Dakota State at home Tuesday.
It appears to be coming.
Minnesota's third-year basketball coach said Friday that freshman guard Dupree McBrayer could start and have a bigger role Saturday against Oklahoma State in Sioux Falls, S.D.
"I don't think we're going to abandon anything necessarily," Pitino said. "I think we'll do some different things. We worked a little bit (Thursday) on doing a couple different things. I think Dupree showed he's been pretty good. I think he's starting to evolve a little bit."
McBrayer is averaging 3.3 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 16 minutes, but he had a career-high 13 points on 9-for-10 free-throw shooting in 28 minutes against South Dakota State.
"Dupree is setting himself aside by 'Keep playing and playing hard,' " sophomore guard Nate Mason said. "I feel like he's playing hard all 40 minutes every time he gets in the game. He's definitely earned that spot."
