Richard Pitino’s Gophers men’s basketball program is in a months-long skid, on and off the court, that has called into question his future in Minnesota. His team won just eight games in 2015-16, a season that ended with controversy after he suspended three players for their role in a graphic video posted on social media and kicked senior Carlos Morris off the team.
