    ***OFFICIAL NEW ORLEANS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    KK came in very late, missed most of season preparation. He is acclimating to US, UMN, NCAA Basketball. Isn't it just a little early to given up on him? Reader needs a little time also to see if he is a BIG player after some development, or not. For him this was a planned development year...

    ***OFFICIAL NEW ORLEANS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    If you told me he hadn't picked up a basketball before he played at Wazzu, I would believe you. You do know he was a 4* BASKETBALL recruit out of high school and was a legend in Bay area. Mitchell is a little younger and was also an elite high school basketball player in the same area and...

    Is this partly a fan problem?

    Timberwolves are drawing because they are winning. They had the same team last year but KAT was hurt and nothing was working very well and the crowds were a lot lighter and less enthusiastic. Gophers are maybe one careless slow walk up court by Garcia (10 second violation at the worst possible...

    Is this partly a fan problem?

    Well I would say for sure that if it was a Bill Musselman team. Williams arena would be full. Or if Lou Holtz switched sports.

    You are right. 50 is the new 40 in my mind I guess. Sorry.

    Is this partly a fan problem?

    Would a school with “good fans” be quite so negative and get so little enjoyment from their efforts and promise. That is the problem. Pretty negative vibe and little enjoyment from the season so far. No one really getting to know the individual players and appreciating them. No enthusiasm...

    Is this partly a fan problem?

    Part 2: Part 2: Now our current team. What is wrong with this group.? Would a school with “good fans” be quite so negative and get so little enjoyment from their efforts and promise. (Remember the 90-91 team had a very positive fan base.) Seniors – none. But Dawson Garcia sort of fills that...

    Is this partly a fan problem?

    This team is actually kind of interesting and has some promise. There are interesting players who are fun to watch and who will develop with experience. Clem always said it took 50 games to really develop at this level of college basketball, talking about high school students more than...

    Jack Wilson's nickname should be:

    I was there. (for the song, not at the Grammys). The parody was very nicely done.

    Gophers basketball gets official visit from 7-2 junior Daniel Jacobsen

    Did you notice he was 7' 3" on the Purdue story and 7' 2" on our story. It must have been the extra inch that sold him.

    Game 1: Gophers Host LIU (11-8-23)

    Can't really call it the 3rd quarter blues when all 12 played and the non-starters had 80 minutes of playing time. They are trying to evaluate and teach during the preseason, especially when they have already put away a weaker opponent.

    Parker Fox: 960… 960 days since I’ve played a basketball game. 960 days I coulda felt bad for myself. 960 days I coulda gave up. I'm back.

    I think Fox weight and strength are just fine. Tayshaun Prince did pretty well at Kentucky and in NBA. Among many many others.

    The Athletic: College basketball 7 coaching tiers 2023 (Tier 5: Pitino, Tier 7: Johnson)

    More interesting than Richard Pitino in Tier 5 was Niko Medved in Tier 3.(as mentioned) Also interesting was that the write up of the Tier 7 coaches mentions five of the six by name and has a few comments about each of them. Ben is not even mentioned. One could make the argument that he is...

    I’m the problem, it’s me

    That is because Iowa won. Winning teams at home are always gracious to visiting fans, especially if the home team jumps ahead early, is in total command of the game, and wins handily. If they lose they are not so friendly. USC fans at Notre Dame last weekend were thanked profusely for making...
