per KSTP:
Richard Pitino has seen growth with his team since he took over the Gophers. This is his fifth season with the team, and he believes they have made great strides, especially at forward with Eric Curry and Jordan Murphy.
"They've had a good healthy competition," Pitino told KSTP at the State Fair. "I think that's the best thing about it. Everybody can get better, I just think those two guys seem to have taken the next step and that's important, to just continue to improve for all the guys. We've had a healthy, good competition."
The Gophers made the NCAA tournament under Pitino last year.
"It takes time when it comes to recruiting," Pitino said. "When you first take a job, you're not exactly sure what you need. Until you build a team you don't know exactly what you need, and now we know who's going to compliment who, what we need to complete the team, and that just takes time."
