It’s somewhat implied that flagrant isn’t the goal here. Do you say this because of the refs, because we can’t foul hard properly etc.—?

I wouldn’t mind seeing some hard fouls on some of these breakaways if fouling gopher isn’t essential to stay out of foul trouble. Curious what others thoughts are on this, may be some cons I’m not thinking of.

why?

It seems pretty arbitrary to use this as a metric for assessing Pitino's current/future performance. If the gophers went 15-5 each of the next 3 seasons, correct me if I'm wrong, you would still be posting this complaint.

Was sad to see this. Especially because in fleeting 9 minutes he played, he seemed to literally make the most of every minute. Can't remember the last time in recent memory that I saw a gopher freshman do that or even do anything noteworthy ( outside of MM almost managing to foul out in 6 min of...

I do find it amusing that they included #16 Colgate at 1-1 in Q3 games. More just curious how their metrics even produced that result if you have played two games the whole season and lost one of them.

I don't buy it in the slightest. Potential exposure seems like a super ambiguous cop out. Didn't know much a bout K's past antics before this year but he seems like the worst type of competitor to me. Can't be great, yet also be a cry baby and never own it when you fairly lose in my book. Still...

Both Gach seems completely lost. I question whether his head is somewhere else and if his struggles are even directly related to basketball right now. The drop off in play for him has been so bad, it doesn't even seem like a slump in the way the term is usually used. Turnovers: stepping out of...

I’ve already been thinking along this avenue. Regardless of what happens next year, it’s very promising to know that Minnesota’s future gaurds; Mashburn, Mutaf etc. are learning from a true maven. Watching him in practice every day, it’s undeniable that they will have the Carr pedigree imprinted...

I just saw this. Honestly that’s reason enough to can Pitino in and of itself. He practically was on Johnson’s shoulder cajoling him to miss it. Everyone knows if you don’t go 9/9 on your 3’s you clearly belong at a D-3 school, unacceptable for this prestigious #1 ranked program. Clearly...

Incredible win. Considering the circumstances, seems this W could pay huge dividends going forward in terms of making the team closer and giving them the confidence that they can contend with anyone.

I don't know.....I mean come on, they couldn't even get the win in regulation...it's basically a loss

I agree with some of the posters above, probably middle of the pack. I think the huge positive here though is that his ceiling for improvement during the season is much higher than the other bigs because he's still adjusting to the level of competition whereas most of the other bigs are...

We should transfer the proceeds to Michigan State. Clearly Izzo is all washed up and ought to be packing his bags within the week.

It was our first road game. We played a team ranked 13th that is probably much better than that. One of our lead scorers in Gach, had a terrible night. The team as a whole shot terrible. It was a really bad game. Write it off and move on, the team probably learned a lot tonight so I’m glad it...

Might be the only one who could give Oturu a run for his money in terms of spiking my blood pressure. Don’t get me wrong, loved Oturu and everything he gave to our program. Still, easily had me certain the gophers were finished a good 3-5 times last season, until I adjusted my concern level on...

Does anyone else find the glare on the floor making it hard to watch?

I saw Carr as one of the only reliable stabilizing forces to pull us out of whatever the hell that was during the second half. I have no problem allowing Carr a dominant role when it wasn't clear what we'd even be getting from the rest of the team in the alternative. As for Gabe, I agree with...

One thing I still don’t quite understand about college basketball. Wouldn’t everyone prefer that the refs always attempt to make the right call over dealing with crack pot home away splits even if that means occasionally the gophers get more accurate calls during their home games (tragic) taking...

This question makes no sense to answer in a vacuum. Making hiring decisions based solely on W-L récord or statistics would be selling ourselves short. Just because we don’t like an outcome such as a bad loss doesn’t mean the only solution is to fire our coach and it also doesn’t mean the only...
