Comeback attempt falls short for #Illini against Minnesota but notable lineup change to start 2nd half might mean more of the same moving forward. Our @srrichey has more from Minneapolis. https://t.co/EGscxaD2bR pic.twitter.com/dKfJ5WKvpd

Underwood says the first ten minutes was like being taken to the woodshed "and just whooped." Gives Pitino and @GopherMBB's intensity credit.
