Yea, more like putting the toothpaste back in the tube!

This season has once again become a long exercise in frustration, with moments of unbridled joy. The eye test from afar has MN transfers underperforming, inconsistent, and what was supposed to be a decent-to-good shooting team once again hasn't panned out. Not sure why CBJ hasn't given minutes...

Before the West Coast games at USC/UCLA I was thinking the odds of winning both were about 10%. Losing both-30% Win one, lose one-60% Be happy people!

Very gritty, unexpected win mirroring the USC game. Just fantastic to beat UCLA on their home court AND get to listen to Cronin's petulance, passive aggressive attacks on his team and fans. As a MN fan, you have to enjoy these rock fight wins and accept the crushing off night losses. Schedule...

Will keep an eye on Fletcher Loyer and Purdue/MSU before Gopher game. :)

After seeing Lavin cry, would love nothing more than to see an unpopular Cronin meltdown blaming everyone else vs UCLA.

Agree. I would hate to see the Barn "blown up" and replaced by a new facility. Imagine what could be done with that solid brick shithouse bldg (a good thing) if the renovation involved a complete or near complete internal demolition. Would cost a few seats which is fine, but if everything was...

Yes, winning! Most kids are recruited based on offensive skills and being a selfless teammate. Offensive skills are more valued/rare, while defending is more about effort and willingness to learn. Thus, a defender can be “made” but its harder to develop offensive ability/shooting. Agree?

Agree 100%, esp with a long JOJ rotating. Great to think of "what ifs", but that Idiot Wind has blown through a lot of our teeth on this board. :(

I would like to see more guys in the rotation, but Rigsby is a defensive liability. Kind of floats around like Peter Pan.

Good call! 🙂

Steal one on the road tonight, and all is forgiven for Washington loss. 1-1 expected in those games.

Six more wins on the season schedule! :)

Torvik has Game Scores for each contesting team's games, and over the last 4 games MN has had game scores 92, 90, 96, 96! Other than some bad turnovers, there hasn't been anything to complain about, yet some of you's still have some self-loathing, MN pessimism. MSU has been playing their best...

MSU hasn't had a very tough gauntlet MN schedule with wins against--MN, NEB, OSU, WASH, NU, PSU, ILL, RUT--Wins over bottom 6 in Big Ten standings. After MN, Sparty could lose 8 of their next 9 games--@USC, @UCLA, ORE, IU, @ILL, PUR, @MICH, @MD, WISC. MN and MSU have the same 2-1 record vs...

Yep. Assuming Sparty will shoot their normal 30% from 3, the team with the most layups wins this game.

Looking at Torvik Projections from July ‘24, compared to my projections. Not terrible. 🤪 After looking at this the groupings would be: 1/2 (Purdue/Michigan St.) 3/4 (Illinois/Indiana) 5/6/7 (Michigan/NU/USC) 8/9/10/11 (MD/UCLA/OSU/Wisc) 12/13/14/15 (Rut/MN/Ore/Iowa) 16 Neb 17 Wash 18...

For Rutgers its never good when your two best defensive rated players are freshmen, and having to adjust to Big Ten defenders against them--problematic. In my pre-season notes, I have "No center (Omoruyi gone), 2 freshmen Bailey and Harper starting, then what?" :o They were high on my...

Agree 100% Make it a rock fight. Dawson can hopefully get guys in foul trouble.

Three very differing outcomes for CBJ and the Gophers season. I hope they continue solid play and win 6/+ more BTN games, finish the season 9-11/10-10 AND have a solid BigTen Tournament showing winning a couple games--CBJ clearly will be finishing his contract. Going 19-15/20-14 for season is...
