per the STrib:
Mathieu is probably a better fit to start. After giving freshman Nate Mason the nod for the previous three games, coach Richard Pitino handed senior DeAndre Mathieu back his starting spot on Saturday. And it looked smart. The Gophers' were moving the ball as well as they had in all of conference play, and Mason -- fresh off a rare "off game" at Nebraska -- played every bit as well as he has all year off the pine, posting 10 points, three rebounds, six assists and two turnovers. The reality is, the minutes don't matter much but the title does. Mason is likely going to give Minnesota the same thing regardless but Mathieu -- although he says he doesn't -- probably cares a little more.
