It's fine to not like the guy but spouting off that Battle wouldn't play more than 10mpg on a decent team reflects more on your analytical skills or a personal beef

Would be a real feather in the cap for Johnson in his first season to knock off a ranked badgers squad and give us a solid shot at finishing with a .500 record! But the only way the gophers truly exceed my expectations tonight is where Ben Johnson dupes Gard by feinting a left hook in the hand...

Felt like Nebraska chugged energy drinks in the locker room right before tip while the gophers were dosing melatonin

In a disinterested opinion: basketball was a sport I never understood or paid attention to until much later in life. Preferred baseball, hockey and football. When I first started watching heavy amounts of college basketball, the home/away advantage I observed shocked me, thought it was bizarre...

agree with this. The longer the call takes to be made speaks for itself in decreasing the possibility it could be based off indisputable evidence. Would probably bump to 30 with under 2 min left in games or for playoff/tournament games.

Exactly. We can blame Davidson all we want but it’s a top down issue. Whether Gard admits he encourages it or not, he still condones it implicitly by permitting it to happen for over half a decade at this point. Surprised he’s been able to distance himself from Davidson’s dirty deeds for so long...

didn’t watch the middle 20 min of the game so correct me if I’m wrong and brutal/sloppy play was responsible but I was attributing the astronomical T/O rate to Ben knowing the W was secure and using the free D1 practice to begin integrating our bench while also pushing our starters to attempt...

I believe that was Armond Battle

5 star recruits are rated 5 stars because they fit a certain profile. They have been winning their whole life and have the drive and instinct to do what it takes to win. Part of that is making winning choices. Choices like avoiding a risk to one's career, for pride.They've gotten to this point...

Hell, we even averaged 50% from 3 in the tournament last year

One factor I almost never hear mentioned which seems the most obvious and simple explanation: The 3-point line distance changed between Gabe's Freshman and Sophomore season. I still think that Gabe can be a great 3-point shooter. It does seem somewhat ridiculous though, that no one ever...

If Pitino hadn’t made the play call at the end for Gabe to hit both his FTs—could have been a totally different outcome. I hope we see more of that from Pitino going forward.

Same response verbatim I was about to post. The “I’m so butthurt I can’t be mad” post, so I’ll just do my only talking point anyways.

This game was disappointing, feels as if we won about 4/5 of it. Really liked seeing contributions across the line up. Thought we were very patient looking for shots, sans end of game. Avoided chucking up threes when faced with difficultly. Johnson looks to have kicked in into another gear...

I’ll let him say what he wants if he plays like this

I second that. Seems obvious that the phrasing of the initial post on this thread was to troll—like, "Anyone else bothered by the fact that.... [insert highly controversial opinion]?"

Been pondering this for a while now, after the obvious struck me about a month ago. The 3-point distance changed between Gabe's Freshman and Sophomore year. Curious what others think about that being responsible for the decline in 3-point percentage. It's a very simple explanation and yet hard...

Just came to the sad realization that we have been robbed of the ability in a few years time, during Mutaf's potential heyday to throw around "Mustafa"

why wet blanket? seems more dry blanket to me.

That makes sense. At least Ihnen seemed to hear me and took a tooth as a trophy sans flagrant.
