Still dealing with a foot issue (don’t want to call it an injury) and is on a per minute game budget.I think Payne only played 10 min. What’s the deal? It doesn’t make any sense.
Christie with a quiet 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 turnovers.

Very calm. The game is not too fast for him. I expect him to get better all season. Unlimited upside.He's probably our second best player already.
3 in the first half (last one was pretty tricky-tack). Ended with 3 for the game. He’s on a minute clock.Fouls
Well, the least Arkansas-Pine Bluff has scored prior to this one was 79
Double checked, hope it's correct.Well, I guess that's something. Thanks for that factoid.
I said that to my son too!Betts has a bit of a Sideshow Bob haircut, and I like it.
Hawkins is good at getting them into the up tempo, but he gets worked over some defensively. Wish they could help him out a little more with that.At times they look good enough to be a .500 or even better Big Ten team. Other times they look like they’ll struggle to win just a few. Gotta make those horrible stretches less horrible.
It’s clear they’re a much better team when the play up tempo.
been a long time since that's been the case. Wish they would run more. Seems to be less guys ball stopping and thinking when we do so which led to many wide open shots. You can always live with that even if they aren't fallingAt times they look good enough to be a .500 or even better Big Ten team. Other times they look like they’ll struggle to win just a few.

Ihlen didn’t? I do not understand why he gets 30 minutes. Payne has to be really frustrated you have a 6’10 piece of charmin playing in front of him.
This. It is unforgivable with this size advantage to not be more patient and take it inside. The competition level is so bad that it is making us play some sloppy ball.20/33 from 2
11/36 from 3.
Take. Your. Easy. Points.
BP baited them to shoot 3s all night and made for some scary moments.
OK, thanks for the information.Still dealing with a foot issue (don’t want to call it an injury) and is on a per minute game budget.

All true but it would be very surprising if they win more than a few Big Ten games. Everything seems to just happen, very hard to identify an emphasis of what we want to do.At times they look good enough to be a .500 or even better Big Ten team.

I know Payne recovered and blocked that shot, but how in the world was he so open?All true but it would be very surprising if they win more than a few Big Ten games. Everything seems to just happen, very hard to identify an emphasis of what we want to do.
On defense we are often lost. Playing hard but without purpose. Geno recently said on defense if you foul you are either undisciplined or out of position. For me that describes the defense of the Gophers.
Second leading scorer for the Dons, just like for Pine Bluff is......WilliamsGophers struggle to drive hard to the basket and then settle for 3 point jumpers. We don't have anyone who will force the defense to stop the drive. With his hops, I would like to see JOJ develop that mentality. We need it as we go terribly cold from 3.
There is a lot to work on.
Getting the ball to Payne on the post has to happen. No one can stop him when he catches it down low.
Defensively we are still slow on rotations. We gave up too many pick and roll points. That being said, if you stop Williams, you win by 15 more points. What is it with kids whose last name is Williams? They're just killing us in the Barn, like their ancestors built the place.
We have to step it up if we are going to beat the Dons out in San Francisco.
He was a wing and you could see House of Payne motion to someone that he was dropping off.I know Payne recovered and blocked that shot, but how in the world was he so open?
