Saw him play last night on Senior night at Wayzata, and at Hopkins a few days back. He was dominant in both games (as was Christian Wiggins). Last night he had dunks on 3 successive plays, running the floor on fast breaks on a couple of them. He can hit the 3 from anywhere, but also can score...

I watched the 2nd half and the OT of the NSU / IL game last night. Fears was incredible. Just shows what an amazing defensive job Reynolds did on him, and, really, that the entire Gopher team did in winning that game. Illinois is a very, very good basketball team.

John Thomas? Brian Cardinal? Only half this board is old enough to remember those names (of course, I am in that elderly half). 🙂

I tend to agree, but…. the KenPom rankings do have some validity. If, however, you rely on them too much when making your March Madness brackets, you will make your friends and co-workers happy.

Of course the previous coach was blamed for everything including not getting sufficient talent from the portal when he had zero revenue sharing $$ and limited NIL.

Very winnable game. Got beat by a freshman who probably would not start for any B1G team … except the Gophers. Picking this team to finish last or 15fh in the B1G is looking correct.

Have to, unfortunately, agree. Unless they’re shooting markedly (magically?) improves, they are going to lose a lot of games. Last two games have been brutal to watch.

Thanks for these stats. Hope he figures it out.

Didn’t see the game becuz was en route to Gooher game. As of today, KenPom has Neb 45, Ok 67, MN 85.

I am an alum and long time season ticket holder. Towards the end of the game, there was a part of me that wanted to pull for GB (even though, in principle, I hate all Wisconsin teams). They were clearly the underdogs and played one helluva game. Let’s not forget that just three nights...

Try telling Izzo that. Gotta strike a balance with this. Too many cupcakes not only rips off the season ticket holders, but does not prepare the exam. This is a long term Gopher problem — I know, I’ve had tickets since Musselman was coach.

Hope you are right. If they should happen to sweep those games, then we do have a team!

I was at the game. Love the ball movement, love the hustle on defense. Crocker-Johnson is an excellent rebounder and defender. Tyson is a scorer and will score in the B1G, IMO. However, this weak nonconf schedule is going to hurt them. The B1G is an entirely different level of play than their...

Tyson is likely to be the star of this team. He is definitely fun to watch. But, as we all know, we will lose a lot of games if the offense relies too much on one guy. Early games will show who else can consistently step up and score. If 2 or 3 others don’t emerge as scorers, preseason...

So fun to see a scorer like that hit his shots. There were many things to like about this game, but the thing I liked the most was the ball movement — no endless dribbling on the perimeter and then a last second prayer. Our guard play promises to be superior to last year. Inside? We’ll be...
