they are banged up
Starters Mason and Konate miss practice but expected to play vs. Rutgers
per Marcus:
Gophers senior guard Nate Mason missed practice with a hip injury, but he’s expected to play Wednesday in the Big Ten tournament opening round against Rutgers, coach Richard Pitino said.
Mason, who averaged a team-high 18.6 points in Big Ten play, has been playing through pain in his hips and from a bruise on his right shin suffered last week against Wisconsin.
Pitino said Mason missed practice Monday and will also rest Tuesday before the team heads to New York.
“His hips have been hurting him, so we’ll rest him,” Pitino said. “This has been going on a little bit, so he’s not been practicing all the time. He’s just had it, and maybe it’s just wear and tear a little bit. I expect him to play, but it’s been difficult from a practice standpoint.”

Mason and Murphy should be the two best players on the court tonight. Although it looks like he's playing, if Mason cannot go, we have a shot.
Both teams are worse then when we first played. Minny due to suspensions and injury and us due to regression.

Great..the curse. He will have a record night. How is Sa and Baker. With them I think we take this one. Without no shot.they are banged up

Baker must play better - he's been in a funk for awhile (since before he was sick). And we need to get back to playing better team defense. I think we will and I think we win 65-62.
My fear is that our players (not all) are ready for the season to end and go through the motions.
Unfortunately being a 10-14 seed having to win 5 games in 5 days leaves with almost ZERO hope.

This is not the same Minny team we played earlier in the season. One of their best players, Lynch is off the team for his misdeeds. He was on the team when we played them and when they were a ranked squad. Today, they come in with just one more win in the regular season. I'm going to say we win this game. I am not going to predict by how much, but we are going to win hoping that we have the good Corey tonight, and Baker is able to go.
Remember we beat USF in the first round of the Big East Tournament and then proceeded to lose by 60 to Louisville in the next round?
All I'm saying is if we lose a nailbiter tonight, I won't be that upset. In the grand scheme of things, losing this game might be better than winning and then getting embarrassed (and the publicity that comes with it) the following night.

I stand corrected. Last nights game will be worth anything that happens tonight. That was great.
So Plum Street, are you constantly a negative Nancy just so the team can surprise you every once in a while?!
