Would be awesome to run the table and go 7-0, but I’ll take 6-1🤷‍♂️.

Play good D, don’t turn the ball over and balanced scoring is a recipe for success.

Seems like the players are dialed into Coach P’s system and starting to thrive at a new level.

I would love to be able to say we ended the season on an 11 game winning streak.

It was a good win but let's not get crazy. This was an Iowa team who was missing one of it best outside shooters lost for the season. This team lost to USC by 12 and to UCLA by 23 the two games prior to playing us. Agian good win but this Iowa team is definitely not the 10th best team in the nation.

Yep and we beat USC and lost to UCLA by 18 without McKinney. We are comparable to Iowa and out side the last 5 minutes we were much better. They are not a top 10 team, but they are comparable to us as in top 25 and a tournament team.

We were also without McKinney at Washington.

Why not? Life is hard, so when a team you follow brings you joy, relish it.


This Minnesotan disagrees BTW -

I didn't say it was that likely. I'm just saying it would be great to end on a long winning streak and truly be playing our best basketball at the end of the season. That's exactly what you want to happen.

It will be quite difficult to beat both MSU and OSU, but luckily for us those two games that are the hardest ones left are at the Barn.

Watched Maryland bury Nebraska in Lincoln today. Nebraska has some perimeter shooters, but they're a very beatable team for our Gophers.

Thanks for the insights. They for awhile were bottom AP 25 reputation. I admit I probably overestimated the Britt Prince-led team.

And missing Taylor Woodson, might have been B1G 6th player of the year.
