per Marcus:
In the University of Minnesota's COVID-19 testing facility last week, Richard Pitino saw his 7-footer Liam Robbins walking by with the same sour mood as his head coach.
As usual, nobody was thrilled to be up early for the daily tests, but they were even more annoyed by waiting a full week to play after a tough loss.
"There's nothing fun about it," Pitino said of the daily routine, "but we're still grateful."
The Gophers played six games last month, their fewest in a January since 1973. It began as arguably the most successful January of the Pitino era. Three wins vs. ranked foes. The month ended, though, with back-to-back losses to unranked opponents.
Entering Thursday's game at Rutgers, the Gophers (11-6, 4-6 Big Ten) are still trying to regain the momentum they lost after not playing right after their impressive win Jan. 16 over top-10 Michigan at Williams Arena.
