If you didn’t know or had adequately flushed it from your memory, the Gopher basketball team was embarrassed last night at Illinois. The previously winless Illini not only beat a Gopher team with aspirations of making the NCAA Tournament, but they depants’d them by 27 points (and it really wasn’t that close).
This embarrassing loss has led to the Gopher interwebs exploding with second guessing Richard Pitino and the direction of this program. Fair...to some degree. But I would like to caution people that this was just 1 game. I’ll come back to Pitino, but first lets go back to November.
