Not losing is still winning

I hope you can forgive me taking to long to write about Minnesota's "win" over Indiana on Tuesday night. After watching the Gophers show little intensity or intuition on the offensive end against the worst defensive team in the Big Ten, my motivation was lacking, though apparently not as much as the Gophers' motivation to demonstrate a coherent understanding of an offensive strategy. This was one of those games where winning just wasn't good enough. Indiana is probably the worst team in their state, and would face a real challenge if they had to play Wabash Institute of Cannonball Sciences. The Gophers could play horribly and still win easily. Unfortunately that is exactly what we saw.
