per Amelia:
The crowd in maize and blue in the half-full Crisler Center seemed almost bored, sensing the game was all but over with just under two minutes until halftime. And the Gophers, down 15 to Michigan, were in desperate need of a spark.
Enter Carlos Morris. The 6-5 senior guard took a pass from Kevin Dorsey and launched a three-pointer, then snatched a rebound from a missed Michigan shot on the other end. On the Gophers’ next possession, the ball danced around the perimeter a few times before Morris got his hands on it a second time. He stepped back and launched again, this time from about 25 feet out.
Swish. Morris took a second to strut before running back on defense, a loud expression from a player who is usually pretty quiet on and off the court.
“Finally, we had a senior kind of step up and carry us,” Gophers coach Richard Pitino said, sounding relieved. “He did what I thought seniors should do.”
