STrib: No prodding necessary following Michigan loss; Gophers hungry for improvement

[BleedGopher]

per the STrib:

The FILM. When the Gophers watched the film of Saturday's 62-57 loss at Michigan, Pitino did not feel the need to raise his voice. As the eight out-of-bounds passes -- according to the coach's count -- played out, he looked around the room. Players buried their faces; covered their eyes. No one needed to prod the obvious: it was probably Minnesota's sloppiest performances of the last two years. Minnesota had 17 turnovers in all. "I should have done the old burn-the-tape and not watched it," Pitino said. "Just because we had some turnovers that you couldn't explain ... I think it was just one of those nights with a lot of just silly, silly mistakes."

Seems like we're having too many nights with "silly, silly mistakes." Time to put the hammer down.
