per Marcus:
Richard Pitino’s message in a team meeting this week was all about getting his players to believe they had enough talent left without starters Reggie Lynch and Amir Coffey to reach their goal of making the NCAA tournament.
As of Tuesday, Lynch is allowed to practice but is suspended indefinitely from playing in games while his appeals of being held responsible for sexual misconduct — including a third allegation surfacing later Tuesday — play out. Coffey has no firm timetable on a return from a right shoulder injury; he might be back in a week or two, or miss the rest of the season if surgery is required.
“Do we feel like, with what we have, we can go win some games?” Pitino said he asked his players. “Can we do what we’re still hoping to do, which is make the tournament? I believe we can. They believe we can.”
To make the tournament, nearly every player that sees the floor, including Jordan Murphy, is going to need to do more. Murphy, Nate Mason and Dupree McBrayer combined for 58 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists and six steals Saturday, but the Gophers still fell 75-71 at home against a shorthanded and rebuilding Indiana team.
