It’s just a joke when we’re debating which losses could crush our seeding. Really? An 8 or 9 if we lose? Reminds me of the age old “SEC bias” in football where you have to fight and claw tooth and nail just to get ranked and then one loss completely kills your legitimacy in the eyes of the...

Of course that’s the guy we foul. Come on announcers jynx…

Hell a makeup call for some bs the last few months. Finally doesn’t hurt the conference regardless of who wins. Time for some home cooking and a W.

Phew. Got bailed out underneath when Cade traveled there. We deserve a call for a change!

Washington is tough to watch (easy to root against), but if I could coach anything in particular from this game it’s his active hands! Finish this one guys!

Absolutely caught that too.

Actually I’d say the opposite. People bet too much on the underdogs and the fun splash upset (they undoubtedly will occur but it’s too hard to predict which ones that will be). If you just let KenPom operate you would probably have won the March Madness pool last year.

Psh I was yelling AP for 3 all day - SWISH - back in the day out in the driveway!

Not to nitpick too badly (I absolutely agree it’s hard to tell with any young recruits, especially big men), but Grove and Mpoyi are not ranked too similarly despite being both 3* recruits. Mpoyi per 247 is ranked #147 overall nationally whereas Grove was the #65 ranked power forward and only...

Fox is one of my all time favorites after last year. That being said he also was pushing on 30 by the time he graduated! I would of course take Fox (if healthy) right now, but Grove is absolutely working his tail off and going from a cast off to a legitimate piece of our team this season. I’m...

They’re back! Albeit a bit late.

That’s a great point!

What’s another Gopher basketball game without a questionable flagrant foul call going against us?!?

I got you! It’s my limited Swahili courtesy of my sisters ex, but my Kenyan cab driver loved it the other day. Twende Tukashike Samaki! (Let’s go fishing!)

Coaches probably also realize that these men are professionals now. Don’t have to hold back as much.
