I wouldn’t like to play with Carr. He counts his points, forces bad shots and doesn’t play defense. That’s just not a true winning mentality. I sense a lot of selfish decisions from him.

Iowa 89 MN 72. Hope I’m wrong but I’m tempted to avoid wasting 2 hours watching this today. I’m sure I’ll get sucked in like always

As I can’t disagree with you, I am satisfied with the 10-3 start against a very difficult slate of conference opponents. I am very disheartened by the effort on the road. Defense is an effort and engagement activity. Talk and work hard and you can effectively play team defense. The lack of...

I feel for Curry but he just brings absolutely nothing to the table and is outmanned by every player he guards in the big ten.

I guess we respectfully disagree on this topic then. In my opinion, Clem’s teams played really hard and had a toughness about them. He brought a toughness and passion that rubbed off in the team. I don’t see anything like that from RPs teams. Maybe we just have vastly different opinions.

You missed the point. I’m obviously aware of that. I’m talking about the fight aka the effort of the team.

No fight at all. Can you imagine a Clem team ever looking like this???

This is embarrassing. Getting manhandled on both ends. It’s alarming that these games are not even competitive. Gach isn’t tough enough for the big ten. Very deflating loss for me.

I agree this roster has potential for something great. I just want to see it before I get too excited. If they finish top 4, I would absolutely give RP another crack at it but I would then want to see some signs of sustained success, not a regression like the example case you laid out above. I...

I see the logic in that. It does make sense. Consistently win more in the regular season and build a successful foundation for your program. Do you think 11-9 is a top 5 finish this year? I am betting that it is not. I agree a top 5 finish is excellent in the Big Ten. I do like what I see this...

For me that doesn’t make sense and I have to respectfully disagree. I am more on the side of winning tournament games. That’s what people remember. A good regular season is fun but all for nothing in my opinion if you don’t make a run. Different strokes for different folks. I am starting to...

I am having a lot of fun watching this team this year. That being said, what do you consider closing the deal? I have to say for me personally just making the tournament and losing in the first round with a 6-8th place finish in the B1G would still warrant moving on from RP. Now I absolutely...

This is a bad MSU team by their standards. Need to win this game at home.

I’m pumped up for this game. I’m just sad we can’t be at Williams. The passion level would be turned all the way up and it would be rocking in there.

I could really go without this back and forth. This is a very childlike conversation. I personally couldn’t care less who either of you cheer for. I’m here for gopher news and fortunately my brain can filter out the stuff I don’t care about.

Pitino has to be signing off on your paychecks. This is such a bizarre and delusional assessment. I was laughing out loud reading this. The results are the results no matter how you spin it. We are here to win games and that’s it. I would love to hear you justify the 48-83 big ten record and how...

I am in 100% agreement with you. I think our fanbase is quite patient to be honest. Do you think any “real” program would tolerate a 48-83 conference record? I can assure you the answer is no. We have given RP a very generous shot at this. I don’t think this thread is embarrassing at all.

Fair enough, I understand where you are coming from. It is nice to have college bball, I agree. I’m with you that one game should never determine the worth of any player or coach. I think where we may disagree slightly is that for me the sample size is more than enough already. In my sales role...

When the barn is rocking there is nowhere else I would rather be. It can be one of the most intimidating atmospheres in college hoops. I get chills thinking about the deafening noise. I agree with you. It feels as though people think it’s a lost cause and winning is some foreign entity. I...

I agree. After a 7 year sample size, I don’t think you can call this an overreaction. I would call it a boiling over point where people have seen enough. I just want the barn alive again. That’s all I want.
