How could MN basketball ever be the new Nebraska football? We have wallowed in suck for 26 years and have no fantasies of being national champions. We would enjoy making it in the top 7 of the conference and win a couple games in March madness.
I still love this team. It's frustrating that they have not been rewarded for their hard work. They really deserve to have some Ws over these past 5 games.
Say what you will, but Tschetter was the reason Michigan made its move in the 2nd half. He hit a big 3 pointer, nailed freethrows, and settled his team down. His loyalty to the program is what we all would dream of for kids who play for Minnesota.
Asuma has tried to go to the rim and has had the ball swatted away. He has learned to play within his skill set. The old adage of "know thy self" is true.
Personnel may be similar. Results may be similar. Style of play goes to Niko and his squad. Niko's team is so enjoyable to watch on offense. Ball movement and off ball movement is so much better. It's the difference between watching a waltz and watching crazy aunt Alice do a jig in the corner...
