per Amelia:
The Gophers are afraid to go inside (but going inside is the only way they’ll win). Minnesota visibly avoided going inside to center Bakary Konate and Pitino said afterwards that he doesn’t think there’s a trust between the players and the raw sophomore big man. That may be so, and Konate has yet to prove he can convert with the ball in his hands, but considering the Gophers aren’t much of a shooting team, trying to get some baskets inside is kind of a necessary deal. As for driving to the hoop, the Gophers aren’t doing such a good job of that either, a fact that hurt them doubly on Wednesday, in a flopping offensive effort in the second half and in just 11 trips to the line, where the Gophers made only four baskets.
