per Amelia:
Fitting. After coach Richard Pitino had cooled down from his sideline fury and sat down in front of the podium, he called it “a little bit fitting” that Minnesota would lose its final game in such a fashion as it did – on DJ Newbill’s 23-foot rainbow that sucked any remaining life out of the Barn at the buzzer. The Gophers, of course, have lost eight (EIGHT!) conference games decided by six points or fewer this season, and have played in 11 such games. Weeks ago, Pitino shunned the comments going around about Minnesota being “unlucky,” suggesting instead that the Gophers should make their own luck. Now, the coach has embraced the theory. “It hasn’t quite gone our way this year. I’m not saying we’re unlucky, but I don’t know if we’ve been lucky.”
