    Reusse: Gophers coach Niko Medved’s “Iron Six” pick up win over indifferent Oregon

    I laughed out loud when Reynolds drove toward the basket and the announcers said "He's going in among the trees." At Oregon that could be almost anywhere on the court. 😅

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OREGON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    A nitpick, but I would suggest that Minnesota's zone is more of a 2-2-1 with the lower two fanning out to the 3 point circle. I think the vulnerable points in our zone are the high/low middle and the deep corner threes. If a team can exploit that then I think Niko's zone is made ineffective...

    Shinholster's dunk will go on his highlight reel. He will not speak of the two airballs he launched (making Grove look like Steph Curry). Asuma just needs to tweak his shot in the off-season and get the ball on the fingertips instead of coming off his palm. Watching Asuma's progression under...

    Grayson Grove progression

    You know, I was thinking the same thing, I just didn't voice it. But, can YouTube lie? https://youtube.com/shorts/7lSD2btFhME?si=oVXzP73_y6emXGG6

    Grayson Grove progression

    The great thing about Niko's offense is that the ball is always moving. Hard to hack a Shaq when the ball isn't in your hands for but a moment.

    Niko's gonna give him the "Miles Tarver Award" at seasons end. 😏

    There were about 5 buckets made because of fundamental screens and seals that Grayson made off-ball. He will get nothing in the stat book for those things, but they were essential to getting a made basket. He was fun to watch. Great hustle and effort with the intangibles.

    Grayson gets the game ball. Best game of his career. And, he gets to pick where to go to get snacks.

    Dick and Tony Bennett are rejoicing at the pace and scoring in this 1st half. 😏

    Shooter: Don’t be surprised if former Orono star Nolan Groves ends up with the Gophers for his sophomore season.

    Correct. Niko can't afford to have a team of projects that may or may not be ready in 2 years. Nolan Groves would be better served getting minutes in a lower/mid major where he develops his game to then come back to Minnesota.

    Really tough night for our Gophers. Burn the tape and get ready for Oregon.
