It's obviously hindsight now but the Gophers had a distinct size advantage on the interior and for part of the game they really took advantage of it. The problem, which again reared its ugly head last night was that we got into foul trouble and Oturu had to sit and our guards refused at times to push the ball inside. Whether we score or not, it brought the double often which we all know triggers our offense.
Of course it helped Michigan shot poorly, but our defense actually played pretty well. Really needed Coffee or McBrayer to have stepped up more from the outside(again).
