    ***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

    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. 😏

    There were about 5 buckets made because of fundamental screens and seals that Grayson made off-ball. He will get nothing in the stat book for those things, but they were essential to getting a made basket. He was fun to watch. Great hustle and effort with the intangibles.

    Grayson gets the game ball. Best game of his career. And, he gets to pick where to go to get snacks.

    Dick and Tony Bennett are rejoicing at the pace and scoring in this 1st half. 😏

    Shooter: Don’t be surprised if former Orono star Nolan Groves ends up with the Gophers for his sophomore season.

    Correct. Niko can't afford to have a team of projects that may or may not be ready in 2 years. Nolan Groves would be better served getting minutes in a lower/mid major where he develops his game to then come back to Minnesota.

    Really tough night for our Gophers. Burn the tape and get ready for Oregon.

    Probably need to uninstall and then reinstall the app. I have it on my Roku without any problems.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT WASHINGTON VALENTINES 💘 NIGHT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Tough to watch our boys struggle. We just don't have any size to match Washington with all our kids gone due to injury. The kids are trying, but they are just too undersized to complete.

    Gotta love the guy with the blinking glasses at the 14 second mark. 😅

    I couldn't stand Syracuse and their lazy man 2-3 zone. Every kid, but one, was a complete bust in the NBA as the kid the Wolves drafted instead of Steph Curry became a curse word on Cannishoopus. "We've been Flynned!" Seeing the Carrierdome empty just warms my heart.

    Eagles at Kaposia Landing

    Living on the East Side, I walk down along the River at Kaposia Landing. Over this past week I have counted up to 92 eagles, fishing, courting, and nesting. They have been most active in the warmest part of the day as the court and catch the best thermal updrafts. If you have a chance I suggest...

    I take it this is for more advertisements. Gotta say I hate that side of the sport.

    Grayson Grove progression

    He needs to go Rick Barry. It's a sure thing he'll have better arch and a softer touch on his freethrows shooting granny style. His pride may fight against him, but he would be a better freethrow shooter if he switched to underhand.
