per Sid:
Missed Springs
Gophers basketball coach Richard Pitino wasn't bitter about the team’s 81-72 loss to Middle Tennessee last Thursday in the first round of NCAA tournament, but he did say there was no doubt the team was hampered without senior guard and captain Akeem Springs on the floor.
“I hate to use the excuse of injuries, but the Akeem injury really hurt us,” he said. “It just took a toll on us, unfortunately, with a Middle Tennessee team that has a lot of depth. The way they play wears you down offensively and defensively. Give them a lot of credit.
“It’s disappointing the way it ended for us. But I know we’re going to look back and be extremely proud of a really, really good year obviously for us.”
