per Marcus:
The conversation only lasted five minutes when Gophers coach Richard Pitino spoke to Dupree McBrayer about a new role coming off the bench.
McBrayer could have showed frustration over losing his starting job to senior Akeem Springs. But the 6-foot-5 sophomore guard accepted his coach's decision and was ready to move on.
"I always thought about doing it, but I didn’t want to mess with it when we were winning,” Pitino said of the switch. “It provides a little bit more versatility and depth coming off the bench. Dupree doesn’t care. I had a (quick) conversation about it. He said, ‘Don’t worry about me, I just want to win.’”
“I kind of like it, honestly, a spark off the bench,” McBrayer said. “Akeem is one of the leaders of the team. He’s a vet. He deserved it. He worked for it. Nothing’s wrong with that role.”
