I love this squad. They come as close to maxing themselves out as any time I have seen here. Comparable to the Arob, Hagen, Coleman, Grier, Lawson team years back. Had they won these last two at the buzzer instead of the reverse, they would be in serious tournament contention. As it is we just...

When he proves he can make free throws...? Seriously though, his effort has been amazing.

Not so sure they will spend a big bag on him, considering that he does what Tomes will do. I like Evans though.

10- you counted JCJ twice. I am going to assume that of the 13 that could be here (Stephens also), 3-4 of them are not coming back. That leaves perhaps 5 portal openings. That's about right. The talent has to improve. I like the idea of going after 3-4 quality portal guys instead of trying to...

I wondered why Reynolds didn't just dribble into the lane to draw defenders and then kick it back out. If they don't pick him up at 12 feet- take the shot.

It won't help anything, but the officials in that game should be sanctioned by the league. They were awful- really one of the worst I have seen. In this game, it actually had a big impact on the game since all of the bad calls went against us. That should be a W and it would have been a win that...

I think if Tyson makes a clean initial catch he would have been able to maneuver for a good shot or a foul. It just didn't happen. He missed one of those at the end of regulation as well.

Just back from the game. Niko is a better coach than Musselman. I say that as one who wanted us to hire Mussy bad a few years back. Musselman made some good moves on defense - not guarding Reynolds at the 3 point line, etc. But he had far the better athletes and he slowed them down and coached...

Great post! As I said the other day, I can guarantee you that Medved could be using a kid like Ihnen effectively on this team. He was a guy with ability but no confidence in what he should do. On this team Shinholster and Grove no exactly what they are supposed to do and are effective and...

“Clemens” would have redshirted him as well…😂

Last night was a good test of endurance. Iowa despite not being upper tier athletic, play super hard with a ton of movement (like us) and runs 8-9 guys at you. Last night their bench played 67 minutes to our 31 minutes from the bench.

My thought leaving the Barn was: Some coaches just win. I think we have one. It's going to take time but this is fun to see.

Gophers up to #87 on Evan Miya- we were 120ish a few weeks back. Victories over #21 Iowa, #29 Indiana and #72 NW

I also think that with this system, a lot of the success is due to players knowing where they are supposed to be and who is making what cut. Bringing in a new body at this point, it may be tough to maintain the flow of the system. Nonetheless, I hope he can return and give us some minutes. If he...

I have never seen a coach here do more with this level of talent. He has the guys believing and playing within themselves. What a blast that game was...so fun to send those "let's go Hawks" fans back home with a loss. I love the future of this program!
