Refs did miss a few pretty obvious travels on the badgers and called a couple ticky tack fouls that are usually just the normal rough and tumble play in the B1G.
Tough week for gophers, 1 point overtime loss to SC and now a buzzer beater by the badgers. Should be 5-1, but I’m really impressed with how well this team plays. I know the wins will come. Medved continues to impress and he has this program moving in the right direction.
Carrington did not start. He did get 21 points on 27 minutes, including 7-12 on 3's.
I think some of the reason people weren't up in arms about him leaving was because he deserted the team one of his seasons here. If my memory is correct, he left mid-season for mental health reasons. A lot of people felt like he just quit on the team. So, now to see him come in and play well for a rival and taunt the crowd as he does it, it's a little bit of a slap in the face.
The schools didn’t support bj so he failed.
I did learn that here.
I don't think anyone is suggesting they are ok with the loss. But it's clear the players are playing extremely hard and the future is bright. If before the season we were told we had two, maybe three starters out for the year and are sitting at 3-3 in the Big Ten, we would have been very surprised.
Great effort. Gonna really miss Tyson and Reynolds next year.
I was speechless walking out of Williams and the whole ride home. Didn't even want to listen to the post game show that the Missus and I usually do. Need more bodies on the court and more Gopher butts in the seats, we cant have a home court advantage when the crowd is nearly 50/50.
Losing always sucks, especially in games that were winnable but it's sports, someone has to win and someone has to lose.
Gopher puck and US Olympic Team with Herb and 12 Minnesotans. Gopher National Champs in Fishing a couple years back!
If you had fun, you won!?"I just hope both teams had fun."
I didn't have high hopes of them making the tournament in year 1 regardless but seeing how the 7 we have have played I honestly wonder if this would have been a tournament team had they managed to not lose so many key pieces.
Most likely right I'd agree. Asuma and JCJ are going to be nice players next year to build around. I also like Durkin. He's only going to get better. Grove and Shinholster just gotta keep getting better and I believe they will as well with Medved.
Will be shocked if Turner is back next year but the other 3 could be. Hopefully Niko is able to keep the current roster in tact and go out and add to it. Easier said then done in this transfer portal era tough.
I believe there are 9 guys eligible to return. Even assuming Turner leaves they won't go 8 for 8 on the rest. I think Asuma and JCJ are the must keeps. If they keep 4 of the other 6, that would be a good ratio.
The good news in regards to the injured guys is that if Niko wants them back there is a really good chance of retaining them since they have not been able to put anything on film for other schools that would put them in high demand. Agree on JCJ and Asuma being top priorities. Would also be really nice to keep Grove and Shinholster around to keep building on all the playing time they are getting this year.
In his defense, Carrington just wanted to feel what winning was like.
