Scouting Minnesota

Second-year Coach Richard Pitino brings the Golden Gophers into Lincoln with a 12-7 mark, including 1-5 in Big Ten play. Pitino, who coached at Florida International for a season before taking the Minnesota job, guided the Golden Gophers to a 25-13 record and the NIT title in 2013-14. Minnesota, which returned four starters from last year, went 11-2 in non-conference action with the only losses coming at St. John’s in preseason NIT and against Louisville.

 

Minnesota has struggled at times in Big Ten action, dropping its first five games before earning an 89-80 win over Rutgers on Saturday afternoon. Minnesota has been in nearly every game, dropping four of its five games by five points or less, including a two-point overtime loss to Ohio State and a two-point loss against Iowa.

 

Minnesota thrives on its defense, as the Gophers average a Big Ten-leading 11.1 steals per game and force nearly 19 turnovers per game. Senior Andre Hollins averages 13.4 points per game and has a team-high 47 3-pointers. He is one of four Gophers in double figures while two other players average at least nine points per contest.
