per Marcus:
When Richard Pitino took his players off Twitter for the season he was trying to escape some of the hype surrounding his Gophers basketball team.
It’s been so hard to ignore.
As much as Pitino tells his guys not to focus on the attention, he knows they take great pride in being one of the top teams in the country.
“We’ve talked a lot this offseason about how to deal with expectations and how to deal with people talking about you good,” Pitino said. “You could say that stuff is irrelevant, but they want it. They want to be ranked. They want people to talk about them. That’s what motivates them.”
All of that praise can vanish as quickly as it came.
