Zulgad: High hopes now long gone as Gophers continue to slide in Big Ten

[GopherLady]

The Gophers’ losing streak started with an 18-point defeat at Michigan State but has been followed by a two-point loss at Penn State, a two-point overtime loss against Wisconsin, a six-point loss in a very winnable game at Ohio State and then a loss Saturday in which the Gophers held a 12-point lead in the first half and were up by seven at halftime.

Asked if there was a trend in the losses, Pitino said: “I think there’s a trend, and I think they are uniquely different, if that makes sense. Mentally, we’ve just got to overcome that hurdle.”

. Asked if there is a trend in the losses? Pitino:"Well yes each time we scored less points than the team that won." Questions like that are why I couldn't be a coach.
