    Who is the Gopher MVP this year?

    I vote for Niko Medved. There is not one player that stands out among the bunch. The only reason we have won games is because the team is executing the coaches plans to perfection.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN, WHO CLEARLY WAS LOOKING PAST DUKE TO OUR GAME, IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    That's not what I am saying (although that may be your view). I am saying that Michigan is far superior to our Gophers and the chances of winning at Chrisler are much smaller than the chances the 1980 USA Hockey team had of beating the Soviets in the Olympics. It's fact, not excuse or wishful...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN, WHO CLEARLY WAS LOOKING PAST DUKE TO OUR GAME, IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    With a win, Michigan secures at least a share of the B1G title. Expect the Wolverines to come out with a vengeance. But, we play the game and hope for the best. Illinois and Michigan are giant in the post. Grayson, Cade, and Bobby will be extremely undersized. Somehow we have to keep Michigan...

    To add to Minnesota's troubles for this Tuesday's game against Michigan, the Illinois loss means that a Michigan win over Minnesota means they secure first place in the B1G for the season.

    ***OFFICIAL RUTGERS AT MINNESOTA LET'S GET A WIN STREAK GOING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Just say "How did going to UNC workout for Cade Tyson and Kyan Evans? How did they fair with me as a coach?" Just let the proof of success sell itself. Take a little less to be happy and successful.

    ***OFFICIAL RUTGERS AT MINNESOTA LET'S GET A WIN STREAK GOING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    It's actually a better flowing offense than Clem had. Clem just had better athletes. I love how Niko teaches people to hold the ball after catching so that the player with the ball maintains all three options of pass, dribble, or shoot. So many teams dribble immediately and give up options. The...

    2-1 for the Suomi's after 2. Finns with only 11 shots on net, but they are making them count. So far it's a strong defensive game. Go Suomi!!!

    Reusse: Gophers coach Niko Medved’s “Iron Six” pick up win over indifferent Oregon

    I laughed out loud when Reynolds drove toward the basket and the announcers said "He's going in among the trees." At Oregon that could be almost anywhere on the court. 😅

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OREGON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    A nitpick, but I would suggest that Minnesota's zone is more of a 2-2-1 with the lower two fanning out to the 3 point circle. I think the vulnerable points in our zone are the high/low middle and the deep corner threes. If a team can exploit that then I think Niko's zone is made ineffective...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OREGON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Shinholster's dunk will go on his highlight reel. He will not speak of the two airballs he launched (making Grove look like Steph Curry). Asuma just needs to tweak his shot in the off-season and get the ball on the fingertips instead of coming off his palm. Watching Asuma's progression under...

    You know, I was thinking the same thing, I just didn't voice it. But, can YouTube lie? https://youtube.com/shorts/7lSD2btFhME?si=oVXzP73_y6emXGG6

    Grayson Grove progression

    The great thing about Niko's offense is that the ball is always moving. Hard to hack a Shaq when the ball isn't in your hands for but a moment. Plus, Grayson was always moving so he was hard to guard. Where Oregon struggled was in rebounding. Somehow we got to rebounds and tip outs that we don't...

    Niko's gonna give him the "Miles Tarver Award" at seasons end. 😏
