Agreed - It's very difficult to watch.
The constant mindset of trying to play everything safe is not a way to play. You deserve to lose playing like that.
That is who Fleck is at this point. He's got a stranglehold on the offensive philosophy and we're going to live at the bottom of the Big 10...
If this group isn't a Top 50 Defensive Team (Likely will need even Top 20-40) we won't be good enough to make the tournament.
It's true, we don't have the offensive talent to make up for us being a mediocre defensive team.
With our current staff and rumored NIL, 7 out of 10.
The team will be better this coming year than last year. And that's with losing Payne, Christie, and Hawkins.
Ben deserves come credit. Still have to play the games, but I'm alright with it.
Feels like a team without high end talent, but should be physical, not turn the ball over, and we absolutely need to be a Top 50 Defensive team in the country.
I like this team. NCAA tournament is reasonable. Need to make it happen.
Sure, I guess maybe I'm reaching for that exact situation. But I'd imagine most years the Gophers are going to be undervalued in both Basketball and Football because nobody expects anything out of Gopher Sports nationally.
I appreciate you keeping me honest here
Nobody respects our Gophs in Football or Basketball. We can be Top 10-20 type and they'll throw us outside the Top 45.
However, we definitely have to earn our way into the Top 45 with how we've performed the past 3 years.
