Bruh they literally ran a screen and roll right before he shot to get the big guy on Mason. He pulled it out so that he had the mismatch one on one.Who says a drawn up play doesn't work? Run a screen and roll, get some off-ball movement, let your playmaker make a play instead of burying all the other 4 guys on the baseline and watching your point guard go 1 on 1. Perfectly illustrated at the end of OT when Mason can't even get a shot off. Make the defense defend everyone on the floor. That is the point.
It's been the same play for the past 10 minutes: Nate goes one-on-one with the entire defense, everybody else stands around and then hopefully pick up an offensive rebound...or something.
Love that we get hosed on our home court. Huge game for Murphy.Sweet Mason!
Jok commits murder, no call. Murphy with a clean block, fouls out.
Hey, that's a sophisticated offense. Seriously, A well coached team would never play this way. It's panic and we don't know what else to do. We lose our brains. Just like our coach.

Yes, the opponent can know they always have a chance against our beloved Gophers. But, we did get the win.Nice win gutty. This is the type of win that tells opponents they will never lay down.
Who hates Iowa ?Nice win gutty. This is the type of win that tells opponents they will never lay down.
Dude. No one disagrees with that but in crunch time when teams start overplaying it becomes much harder and more risky to throw the ball around the perimeter. This is why NBA and college teams go isolation in crunch situations. They got a mismatch, with the ball in the hands of their best player and he made the shot I don't understand why that bothers you so much.I'm glad that somebody else on this board understands college basketball. Good teams get ball movement. Watch any top team play, they force the defense to guard the whole court because the ball is moving. The gophers are a much better team when ball movement is not stagnated.
