STrib: Five reasons why Minnesota should improve in the standings this season

[BleedGopher]

per the STrib:

Five reasons I believe it could happen this year:

1. The Gophers are stocked with veterans.
2. It's difficult to imagine the defense getting worse.
3. Pitino already has a couple examples of finding underrated talent.
4. Andre Hollins is hypothetically his old self.
5. The Gophers lost five games in which they were trailing by four points or fewer at the end of regulation.

#6. Pitino has a year under his belt coaching in the BIG with NIT post seasonexperience to boot.
