Souhan: Gophers slow Ohio State freshman after half but can't pull off upset

[BleedGopher]

per Souhan:

There were a few positive developments for Minnesota basketball Tuesday night at Williams Arena:

1. Minnesotans bonded during the Gophers’ “Blackout,” wearing dark shirts honoring our state’s primary product: Black ice.

2. The Gophers are now well-positioned to defend their championship in the National Invitation Tournament.

3. The Gophers might never have to face D’Angelo Russell again.

Ugh, that headline.

Gophers were the favorite (Vegas & predictive models, both -- although I thought both were wrong).

Yep. Souhan's a d*ck. We were the favorites (slight favorites) as we should have been, playing at home against a good, not great conference foe. Ohio State pulled the upset.

Well I mean considering Souhan did say he would take Russell over Wiggins right now as a better player, he was only slightly enamored with the kid's first half
