per Amelia:
The struggles are wearing on this team. Saturday, coach Richard Pitino benched senior point guard DeAndre Mathieu for "attitude" problems, and freshman Nate Mason -- who started in his place -- admitted that the team felt the captain's poor demeanor "a lot." After the Northwestern loss one game prior, senior Mo Walker said Pitino lit into the guys about playing like individuals and "playing like we're not a team anymore." Minnesota's seniors should be the overwhelming strength of this team, but as times have gotten tougher, the lack of natural leaders has been glaring.
