per Amelia:
Coach Richard Pitino said Tuesday he hopes the strong game inspires the players’ confidence, a missing ingredient for a couple of weeks now.
“I think we have the talent and the length defensively to disrupt a lot of people,” King said. “It’s just whether or not we come with that mentality. … We’ve taken some tough ones this year. It’s all about eliminating that loss from your mind and moving forward.”
On Saturday, Minnesota played all man-to-man defense, a sharp diversion from a game plan of mostly zone in previous contests. The Gophers likely will continue that trend at Michigan on Wednesday, given the Wolverines’ cache of talented shooters. It will be a tough assignment for the Gophers, who haven’t yet shown they’re capable of maintaining a high level of play in either formation.
