per Marcus:
Richard Pitino was spoiled last season when he went to his bench.
His reserves last winter played with confidence. They knew their roles and gave the Gophers basketball team a boost when the starters needed support. Players such as Dupree McBrayer, Akeem Springs and Eric Curry were a major factor during a late-*season winning streak that led to an NCAA tournament berth.
The Gophers (9-3), who return from a 10-day break Thursday against Oral Roberts (4-10) at Williams Arena, are starving for some of that consistency from their bench this season.
“I need to be able to go to the bench when guys are tired or in foul trouble,” Pitino said. “I need to be able to go to the bench to hold guys accountable. And it’s been a little bit difficult.”
