St. Thomas struggles to fill half of their 5k person arena in its inaugural season. There's no meaningful overlap in support.

I think you’re underselling Vaihola. Sure these were summit league opponents but he does so many of the little things - screening, rebounding, sealing off driving lanes. He was so, so good today.

Pumped to watch this on B1G+ tonight. These broadcasts are always the funniest ones of the season.

Don't think it's a good idea to play an away game in a Summit League arena and forego the revenue. Either they come here for free or split the revenue at their place (they'll never do that). They have no leverage, why are we negotiating?

It would’ve been an exhibition to open the arena. Wouldn’t have impacted the army game. St. Thomas just didn’t want to lose the first game in their new arena.

Shot 40% in Feb & Mar! Only 4/10 though...

He's a good player but I wouldn't describe his game against the gophers as playing well. He was 4 of 22. Probably his worst game of the year.

Pretty sure McAndrew's dad played for McDermott when he was an assistant at UND. So there was also a connection there. (We probably wouldn't have landed him anyway)

He showed some flashes in the exhibition. I think he can be a legit player. Glad to hear he's staying.

Coyle is without a doubt the best AD we've had in the modern era and top 5 AD in the Big Ten for my money. We're lucky to have him.

I think playing St. Thomas is equivalent to playing Omaha. I genuinely don't care. I'm on the side of it not mattering at all. Your assertion was silly. There's not a team in the country that will outdraw the gophers at the barn. It just doesn't happen to home teams almost everywhere.

You think a team that struggles to fill up a <2,000 seat arena will outdraw the gophers who have a built in advantage with season tickets? Get real.

He nailed that presser. I'm all in. I'm in a group chat with people already looking into buying season tickets. Wish I lived in Minnesota because I'd be right there.

Huge disagree. If you're going to play the game, it needs to be at the Barn 9 out of 10 times. Play at St. Thomas once every 10 matchups. And it can't be a buy game. If it never happens, it'll be because St. Thomas won't do it for free.

Kevin Keatts was fired before Ben Johnson and everyone knew that he was gone. By that logic, NC State should've had a deal in place long ago.

Why would Will Wade choose Minnesota over NC State? He's coached in the South basically his entire life and NC State is a great program with more money than sense.

What was discouraging?

I feel like I'm going crazy seeing these takes. There was nothing wrong with the way BJ was fired. He was told in person when he arrived at home and the press release was sent out before anything leaked. Nobody in the program heard about it from anybody but the AD. Seems like an A+ job...

NBA assistant within 3 months

Picked last by the media but no analytic platform picked the gophers last
