Another positive trait! They should mention that in their recruiting materials.

That's so true but doesn't seem to register for some people. It's the strangely powerful influence of online fantasy sports. If someone is rated a 4-star player coming from high school, he must be really good regardless of the established record of non-productivity.

I agree that they will need to recruit a scorer from the portal but in what universe would you replace one of the four 21 point per game scorers in the conference with a player with a career average of 1.6 points per game and a history of injuries?

Yes, but not the extreme south. It's in Houston. It's alumni include Michael Strahan and the famous former congresswoman Barbara Jordan.

Agreed. I think 8 wins when the Gophers were in the Big Ten West may be equivalent to 7 wins in the new 18 team conference without the protection of the Big Ten West. We got lucky this season with getting the majority of the bottom-of-the-league teams at home.

Maybe you can find some other schtick? Some of you have absolutely no idea of when enough is enough.

My condolences. Is your mother still alive?

1) Why do you think the Gophers deserved much more respect? Look across the indexes. The Gophers are one of the lowest rated bowl eligible P4 teams. 2) I guess we're expected to win but not by much according to the betting markets - a 2.5 point favorite. I think this game is about our team's...

I would add a 3rd: Nebraska spent so much money on severance payments to fired football coaches that they were reluctant to fire the basketball coach.

Exactly. If you look at this team's stats relative to its conference competition in games played this year, this team looks pretty bad but key guys made plays at times to get the win. Two examples: Michigan State game: Outgained 467 yards to 301. Trailing by 7 with 1:45 left in regulation...

Obviously, he was wrong. Is that so surprising?

They were a Big Ten West team. The Big Ten West lives on in spirit. Furthermore, since they're one of the teams we've played most often in recent years and have beaten most often, why would we not claim them as a rival?

Worse! I think this team might be like the football team only more so. They'll be blown out by good teams but can be competitive with bad and average teams.

there's no choice with a 7 man rotation unless you want to play Turner. I guess it would be worth a try.

Good half for the guys on the road against one of the very best in the league.
