Pitino on 1500 - We kind of did what we did at home, we hijacked ourselves mentally

[GopherLady]

He wasn't on for long and I didn't get everything, but here are some notes....

• Yeah, we kind of did what we did at home, we hijacked ourselves mentally, and din't give ourselves a chance to win with those turnovers. Every time we turned it over, they made us pay.
• We need to continue to stay the course.
• You're turning the ball over, that led to dunks and run outs. How many TO's did we have in the 2nd half - 9, give them credit.
• We need to take a step back and take a deep breath. We're going through it a little bit right now, we've got to continue to get these guys better.

Pitino Offense horrid- Austin is so bad it is sad

Richard needs to tweak the offense a bit. Tired of seeing three guards do a three man weave 28 feet from the basket.

Dribble hand off, dribble hand off, dribble hand off... clock at 8 seconds than a bad shot.

They do dribble hand offs 28 feet from the hoop and don't even look at the basket. No back cuts No back picks. Tough offense to run when the team you are playing has an athletic perimeter. All the defense does is switch that. The Gophers are not getting many mismatches trying to turn the corner with this offense.

The Gophers must average 75 dribble hand offs and 40 one foot passes a game. Nothing going toward the basket. It looks like the Globetrotters three man weave that is until Austin gets the ball then it looks like the Washington Generals.

Austin Hollins is so bad that it is sad. Shot fakes when he should drive and he drives when he has a jumper. Tough to watch...
