Hard to find any players from junior high on u through the pro's that don't travel almost every time they receive a pass or square themselves up for a shot. Kinda like speeding on the freeway. It's illegal, most of us do it at some point and it's rare that you get pulled over and ticketed for it.

For many fans all over the country, not just Gopher fans, if the announcer isn't biased toward my team (which I will hear as very fair and even-handed commentary) they are completely biased toward the other team. I agree with the above about Shimmy. Maybe not a great commentator, but I've...

I love how everybody seemed to go into panic mode around here when Nebraska made their expected run in the 3rd quarter. It happens in almost every game involving decent teams all over the country every week. It's like people.... Never mind. :)

Answered prayer is more like it. When you're going good, things like that work out. She obviously thought she was going to draw a shooting foul. Since the ref didn't give her the "and one", it's obvious she wasn't going to get the call if it hadn't gone in. BTW, I thought it was a...

Do we really want to be like a bunch of 7th grade girls and look for or create a bunch of drama? Seriously?

Well, to be fair, I think he actually recruited to the point where he felt he would be 12 deep and filled in the rest of the roster with practice/project guys. 4, or is it 5 of those top of the roster guys, ended up being or getting injured and out for the season. I haven't put in the time to...

Do you suppose an established coach like Niko might know better than us whether just randomly putting somebody out there who obviously hasn't proven in practice that they deserve anything other than a couple of garbage time minutes per game might hurt more than help (or even tread water) the...

Did any frustrated fans start yelling that she needs to stop shooting after the first 5 misses, like they do when any other player on the mens or womens team starts a game cold?

Well, he obviously didn't "Square Up The Shot" judging from Reynolds reaction. Still, not bad for a "first time I tried this in a game" No-Look, Reverse, Mule Kick! :) I actually don't think I've ever seen that one before. Glad to see Izzo giving him the "try not to ever do that again"...

Seriously! Those last 3 3-point shots were something else!

Probably " Guard the paint, but if you let them have a 3, be sure to close out and at least challenge it with-out fouling.", or something to that effect.

I love in when we make plays down the stretch (free throws) to win games that go down to the final seconds. If that one is unacceptable to the judges; I find that winning tight games is more exciting and enjoyable than winning blow-outs.

For some folks, the only defensive statistics that count are blocks and steals, because they are easy to see and track. The "real" defensive things that make a difference and really count are intangible things that most folks don't see because they are rather subtle and not spectacular or...

As I have often mentioned over the years, refs don't actually have it out for one team or another. And, if posters think they're so bad, why not become part of the solution? Buy a whistle, go through the training and get on the floor and show the rest of us how easy it is! Heck, maybe you...

I'm pretty fired up about the Minnesota State womens team. 22-0. Averaging nearly 98 points a game, but the defense is also great, holding opponents to 66 a game. Go Mavericks!

Sorry about the mis-spelling. Or is it misspelling? :)

I remember watching the play and several of the replays and thinking, "Not much if any. Maybe a couple of inches if that. Certainly nothing close to the level of the Reggie Miller days.".

I noticed he really didn't complain about the officiating, and he was right down there on the floor seeing it close up. Yet it seemed like 50% of the in-game comments made it seem like we were getting screwed really bad... As I watched the game, I saw the other guys turn up the defense and...

Good win. We shot well, defended well over the final 15 minutes and generally handled a team we should handle. 2 lopsided wins in a row. This is the time of year you want to start hitting your stride.

She came in and did not close out on a 3-point shooter, then committed a foul. Obviously, coach doesn't really trust her.
