Wish we had him!

Pharrell Payne is now 28-32 on the year from the free throw line. :)

The one bad stat in this otherwise very well played game by us: We got our shot blocked 9 times. That could be the biggest problem in Big Ten play- finishing against athletic bigs.

The first rule of judging how we did against a bad team is: Did we pound them? We did. I always worry about how good you are if you don't bully bad teams.

Again- this is Alcorn State- but could last year's team do this to another team? They didn't.

Cade Tyson is 0-2 on threes and still playing great with 16 points. The kid is more than just a sniper he's an all around ballplayer. We'll see if he can translate this against better competition but so far, very impressive.

Willis really playing well today!

On the other side of the coin, we led by 31 at the half with so-so shooting. That's a sign of solid basketball on both ends.

Early Nehemiah Turner sighting- is he starting to get it in practice?

10-0. This is Alcorn State but this looks so much better than the last 4 years!

He has however, been able to recruit older guys who he thought could play and fit in this system. For the past couple of years, Ben has had to cobble together a roster from nearly scratch. Niko is a much better coach with a better system and I think that the talent has is at least comparable if...

Well...for years there has been a talent gap between Wisconsin and teams they finished ahead of in the standings...but they made it happen. Let's hope we can make up any difference with team play.

I love that the ball almost always gets into a cutter in the paint at some point in the possession. If they don't collapse- we shoot, if they do collapse- we kick out for the shot.

Slowly but surely Betts, Edmunds and to a degree, Rigsby, all dropped out of the regular rotation. Rigsby had a little surge late but generally Ben played 7-8 guys. Niko tends to play 9, it seems. Usually during the year, one or more of your guys is going to get injured for a while. You had...

I can recall games that were out of hand one way or another and Ben would refuse to play the deep bench. By contrast, last night, Niko was looking to put the kid in - Lorenson (?) and when play continued he called time out to get him on the floor. I think it means so much to the whole team to...

This Gopher squad has 10 guys that you can put on the court without a concern. Hopefully Turner does the work to become the 11th as we need that size at times. Last night Shinholster proved he can play and I think he will play plenty. The kid has skill, quickness and energy and that will come in...

It could be the 2 fouls. Gophers were 16 of 20 on 2 pt fg attempts.

I like Shinholster. Active player and goes without hesitation.

We have a Minneapolis newspaper?

Reid thinks he's a wing, it appears. All he does is fire 3s.
