I like the three guard offense. I’m hoping Carrington is able to go against Michigan. He is a good defender and rebounder. One more piece to add to the mix. Ben has a lot of options now. It’s up to him to put it all together to achieve the best outcome. That’s what good coaches are...

That is correct. Our deep bench will carry us to at least 10 wins.

With Garcia back in the lineup we still ended up with five players in double figures led by Mitchell with 18 points. Christie and Ihnen both had 8 points so really balanced scoring. Great to see.

While I rated the team better than I expected, one area that concerns me is our free throw shooting. I expect a lot of close games in the conference and we simply need to do better at the charity line if we expect to come out on top in those games.

I’m voting 10, that’s my low end, hoping for12.

I rated better than expected. The guard play, Hawkins, Mitchell, Christie, is better than I expected it to be and I think they will continue to improve.

Hope there is a nice turnout for the game. Can’t make it myself as I am out of town. Looks like I will be able to catch the game on Peacock. Go Gophers!

Always enjoy seeing the end of the bench getting some decent playing time.

I wonder if Garcia will see much playing time against Maine or just enough to get back into the flow. My guess is the same group that started the last couple of games will start tonight. At some point Garcia will enter the game and get a standing ovation from crowd. After a few minutes of...

It will be interesting to see how the offense will operate with Garcia back in the game. Without him we have seen others step up their game and we have seen great balanced team scoring. Hope that trend continues.

Workmanlike effort without any glitter.

Colleyville, Texas.

Any word on Garcia? I am assuming he will not be playing tonight.

77-70 - good game to watch. I was cheering for Nebraska all the way.

I'm all for reinstating the rule that if you transfer you need to sit a year. Otherwise, all smaller programs just become farm teams for bigger schools with money to buy the best players. I think doing that would also put a check on some of the NIL spending. The way things are now Minnesota...

Was at the arena early. Watched Payne practicing free throws. I was amazed. It seemed he was making about 80%. At one time he must have made 7 in a row. Hope he can do that in todays game.

Against Nebraska, without Garcia for the most part, the Gophers ended up with 5 players scoring in double figures led by JOJ with 15. Would have been 6 players if Christie would have made one more free throw as he ended up with 9 points. Love to see that kind of balanced scoring. Hope they...

Perhaps it was already mentioned in a previous post, but one thing that really impressed me was the balanced scoring by the Gophers. JOJ-15, Carrington-13, Hawkins-12, Christie-9, Payne-12, Mitchell-12. Five guys in double figures, almost 6. Would like to see this kind of balanced scoring...

The crowd did get into it in the second half, those that were there anyway.. Size of the crowd was a little disappointing to me. Thought there would be more there for a big ten home opener. Hopefully get some more wins and we will see more fans at the game. It was a fun game to watch.

And if PP does start and we are down by 8 at the first time out...then what?
