per Marcus:
Pitino demands his players play with the team's motto of 95%. That means doing the things that help the Gophers win in the 95% of the time when you don't have the ball.
Effort is one thing. Execution is another. It helped the Gophers to know exactly what they can do to be disruptive defensively as a team as well.
Robbins leads the Big Ten with 2.6 blocks per game. Gabe Kalscheur is one of the league's best on-ball defenders. But the Gophers made their biggest strides in the past three games when they've all contributed to locking down opponents and crashing the boards.

Gophers basketball has established a solid identity during recent rise
Beyond relying on Marcus Carr, the Gophers play fast, get to the foul line and play tougher defense
