Even at 40 seconds Niko had to leave 2 of the six out there because he only had 3 walkon-level bench players to put in.

3 balls… Sure! If you just squeeeeeeeze them hard enough!

I keep waiting for the game when both Cade and Bobby get hot. Seems like it’s always one or the other. Mostly Bobby lately. I wonder if Cade’s ankle is still bothering him, or if it’s all in his head now. He dhot so blistering hot earlier in the year that I never expected him to airball an open...

Not much defense by ER. Or maybe Wayzata is just that efficient on offense? Both Anderson and Tomes bring great shooting to the Gophers next year. You can never have enough guys that can make shots.

Duke and Kentucky (plus another 50 programs we feel we can’t out-recruit) still have a finite number of roster spots. We can certainly compete for players against NW, Penn St., Georgia Tech, Pitt, Utah, Kansas St., Providence, S. Carolina, LSU—the bottom feeders of Power 5. Plus all of the...

What the NBA calls a “gather”. 🙄 Otherwise known as a “travel”.

One of a long line of asshats that try to hurt people. They didn’t include the one when Fears had the ball at the top of the key and fended off with his off hand, but it was more of a forearm shot to the face of the defender (don’t remember if it was Reynolds or Asuma). No call of course. I was...

If Turner is on the team next year, one of two things is clear: 1) he knows he’s out of shape and has committed to prepare his body so he can be in the rotation, or 2) he doesn’t realize that a team down to 6 healthy players that still doesn’t put you in the game is never going to put you in the...

I was truly thinking a PMS treatment.

Amateur athletics is dead.

All-Scrabble name, for sure. Place it on a triple word score space and rack ‘em up!

Gotta give Fred Hoiberg his due. Nebraska defense was well prepared. Jumped our passing lanes, prevented easy ball reversal at the top of the key and knew that 95% of our drives to the hole were only trying to force help so we could pass out. They made it hard on us and our shooting dropped off...

LMAO! A true statement that would be super triggering to Big (medium? x-small?) Red fans. I’ll be at the game with a buddy who grew up in Omaha. I’m sure he’ll show up in red. Would love to be able to rub it in after Niko’s boys shock the world!

Looks like a certain judge had a clear and obvious reason to recuse himself and not hear this case. Judicial discipline?

Some observations: Through the Thanksgiving tournament, we had one guy who could make 3s. JCJ, Durkin and Asuma were terrible from 3. Somehow Niko has turned them all into confident (and capable, if not stellar) shooters. Reynolds was a turnover machine, utilizing the infamous behind the back...

He’s also a nice fit for Niko’s offense, even at this point in his career. He’s a good passer and ok screener, which our offense uses on almost every play. We’ve only posted up a few times, and that’s been with Crocker-Johnson and (to a lesser extent) Tyson. If he can improve as a shooter (and...

Thanks for the well-wishes and a few chuckles! I won’t be down long. Just supposed to give my eyes a break for the rest of the day. I actually had the same things done in the other eye two years ago. Each laser flash isn’t that painful, it’s that the Doc is clicking the button 3-4 times a second...

See my thread for available tickets for tonight’s game.

I just had emergency eye surgery for a torn retina this morning, so will not get to the USC game tonight. Two tickets available if a Gopherholer can use them. Upper deck, Section 220. Bleacher seats but, unless the Barn fills up, we’ve always been able to move to chair-back seats. Let me know if...

I was stunned at his range; surprised by some of the shots that he took, more so that he was making them. And it wasn’t just one fluke shot. He has confidence from DEEP.
