per Marcus:

Gophers faithful have to realize they likely saw Oturu’s last college game. Fans also are probably wondering about the status of Pitino’s job for next season.

Oturu had 24 points vs. Northwestern on Wednesday and played as if it was possibly his final college game. The 6-foot-10 sophomore could have an opportunity to be selected in June’s NBA draft if he leaves early.

Then there’s the Pitino question. At this time last season, Gophers athletic director Mark Coyle saw enough to give the coach a two-year contract extension. But Coyle hasn’t addressed Pitino’s status of late.

What will happen with the Gophers once Oturu likely decides to leave early? They are still expected to have four starters returning, including Carr, who averaged 15 points and ranked second in the Big Ten with nearly seven assists per game.


Go Gophers!!
