I would have loved to have an EJ Stephens type player on the court last year. Either him or Loewe would have been a huge upgrade over some of the guard play we saw. Obviously, aim higher, but adding 1 or 2 guards of that caliber even would make a huge difference

Sure, looking now, it’s much more clear that he’s talented, but there were a lot of points in the season where he looked very lost. Whether by choice or necessity, Ben played him through those growing pains, and we’re seeing some of the potential. I meant “taking a shot” more in terms of...

There’s a chance he never turns out, but his ceiling is sooooo high. Has all the pieces you need, gotta take shots on guys like that and hope you can turn them into a star. Those are the types of guys that can turn around programs

1. I think it’s super disrespectful by Ben to not play Taurus Samuels on senior night at all. In a game that doesn’t really matter, he deserves a shot to play when giving his final season to us. 2. If you’re not gonna play him, don’t put him in with 17 seconds left and expect him to perform.

Also, is Samuels hurt? Or is Ben gonna give him a DNP on senior night??

Cooper + Battle: 3/15 Rest of team: 20/25 Still would like to have them back, but man. Not a great showing in their last home game.

I get guys wanting to move on, and not the biggest draw to come back and play another year, but man. We just don’t have enough talent to keep consistently losing guys. Would love to have both of them back.

Yeah that’s either a charge, a block, or a flop. If the flop rule exists, you gotta call it there.

Ugh. Meant to say last TIED at 18:22

Fun fact: gophers did not lead for a single second of game time, and last were tied at 18:22 left in the first half. That’s gotta be some kind of record.

Love seeing Henley right there at the end. 2 offensive rebounds to keep us alive, even if the rest of the game isn’t quite working, effort on the boards and defense can always make a difference

Feels like QB’s that we’ve offered early generally have risen in rankings. If the staff likes him, this is a great get.

I wonder how pitino would have done at minnesota if he had started at New Mexico and then came here. After 8 years, you have to move on, but I don’t think he’s a terrible coach. Wonder if a bit more experience before starting could have kept him from making some of the big mistakes.

Yeah, there are currently 6 teams in the country shooting 80% or above, and only 45 in all of D1 shooting 75% from free throws. That is very much not the norm.

Yeah, good point. I guess my main thought was that Garcia and battle both look best to me when they’re able to win with speed, since neither of them really back guys down, and pushing them down to the 3/4 takes that away a bit. I don’t know the breakdown, but I’d be curious how many of Garcias...

It’s not like we caught fire from 3 - we shot 31%. 2 point shooting % feels a bit more sticky than 3 point shooting %, since a good shooting % from 2 often results from good ball movement and getting better shots, which is something that is repeatable. It didn’t feel like we were hitting that...

We’ve at least stopped the bleeding. At a minimum, we’ve started to at least show the effort needed to compete. I think the situation around Payne is tough. He’s definitely one of our best players, and has a ton of potential. I also think that garcia is best at the 5 and battle is best at the...

That was so much fun. That was a legitimate good, well played game, and a road win over a good big 10 team. Lot of hope to take away from this one.

Once we’ve gotten into the game, and the coaches are doing a lot more actual coaching and adjustments, this broadcast has gotten way more entertaining. Took me a bit to get into it, but this is fun. Also, the effort is great tonight. Samuels hitting open shots really really opens up the...

Alright, hearing the coaches interact with the refs is pretty cool actually. I always am interested in what they actually say to each other, that’s a nice touch.
