Oh absolutely. I suppose I just always think about how hard it can be to get certain schools/teams/states to become winners. I’ve never understood how some places just can’t get out of their own way for one reason or another. It’s the Minnesotan in me.

Let’s just start by getting him on campus. The more solid players who understand Niko’s style and system the better!

I suppose the difference this time around is that the coach has left a bare cupboard (besides Asuma), without even a chance for retention due to the age of the previous roster. Not trying to start a debate over what the previous coach could have done as that’s no longer relevant. Hopefully Niko...

Booyah!

Now good thing about Coyle is we’ll find out when it happens, 1:19AM be damned! I’m thinking Tuesday with a similar time frame to Iowa/McCollum (even if not official official). We’re not quite as sleazy as NC State / Wade.

It was pretty clear he was going to be their coach, sometimes a little posturing at the end, nothing more. Now we just have to hope that NIL keeps them a middling B1G team and even if they’re good, they never become great!

Where is Santa’s slay headed?!?

Better question - is Lake coming with him as a grad transfer?!? Thank you Mr. "Give me the mother f’in ball" Queen

Outside of Tavion Banks (6th man of the year) and some explosive plays from the freshman, you could certainly make the argument about the Tennessee defense and talent making the rest of the supporting cast struggle. I’d still say that the offense worked to plan. The coach does what he does on...

Considering people think he’ll decommit, I thought this answer boded well for us. PJ recruits high character individuals. GopherHole: Is there quote or saying you draw motivation from? Justin Hopkins: I would probably say “remember who you are” I kind of use it for everything in life. Like on...

Impressive by Liberty given they have to win their conferences outright in basketball unlike the other name brand schools.

Exactly what they said about Drake this season. (Add that to Asuma/Frank and then just find an impact transfer that fits the system).

Kind of surprised nobody mentioned him yet - Vincent Grier. I know we weren’t any good (edit: hey I completely forgot we made the NCAA tourney his first year!), but it was so much fun to watch him play ball. Otherwise of course many of the greats, Hoffarber heroics, Bobby and Sam. Watching us go...

Imagine being both!!! But to be honest as a Drake fan I had no idea this season was even an option. So just win baby!

I turned and said that to my buddy while we watched the 2nd period. Somebody needed to lay into them. I did see the Captain get animated, but disappointed in the coaching staff (or lack thereof).

The whole Gonzaga Net conversation earlier got me questioning the danger of Drake coach Ben McCollum’s style of play. The way they drive down the score with a slow pace of play has led them to many closer games than the metrics would like. No big blowouts either. They shouldn’t be remotely on...

Manyawu the Sophomore big was a transfer from Wyoming. He was a game changer in many games and would be the guy I would point to in this scenario. I would still agree that it’s reasonable to question how he’d address the NIL era coming from D2/Drake. Personally I think he’d win building a system...

Reminds me of Keno Davis’s first season so… he’ll probably end up somewhere else. I’m hoping it ends differently in the tournament. Big difference was Keno didn’t amount to much at Providence. This coach feels different (hopefully not a long term guy at Iowa).

Tix booked, now let’s stonewall these bums. Ride the hot goalie is always a good plan!

It is indeed very deliberate and slow. They have the slowest pace in the NCAA so it is not the offense many will want to watch. The goal though is still to play fast in their offense. They run what he calls the Ocean Ball Screen Offense. Coaches is the MVC were going berserk this season asking...
