    2023-2024 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    Suppose thinking at the time was the conference implications for B10—sure I enjoy watching all these teams put up crooked #’s in the L column prior to even a 2nd win but pragmatically not really ideal for our gophs

    can't deny I enjoy Wisconsin getting manhandled like a trivial piece of trash

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

    readily apparent after casually watching <10 min that this year will be different and this team will be fun to watch. don’t expect the malcontents to remotely acknowledge their defective assessments or death sentences pronounced for this teams season. don’t expect them to stand behind any...

    can someone fill me in on why #20 Baylor's a 1 and 1/2 point dog at home against unranked Auburn

    NCAA should add a tier for Quad 5 wins

    Fair to all who responded. Honestly had 0 clue what the reception would be. I do think that it would be helpful if anything in identifying bubble teams that are more likely to thrive in a clutch situation rather than falter. I don't think knocking off a #1 seed on their court happens by...

    NCAA should add a tier for Quad 5 wins

    Opinions on the utility of the system itself aside; while stuck Net Rankings System, a Quad 5 tier should be added for knocking off a #1 team on Away OR Neutral court Pros: Raise stakes when any team plays the current #1 team on said team’s home court Increase turnover of imposter teams at 1...

    Current Roster who you want to keep rankings

    It's fine to not like the guy but spouting off that Battle wouldn't play more than 10mpg on a decent team reflects more on your analytical skills or a personal beef

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

    Would be a real feather in the cap for Johnson in his first season to knock off a ranked badgers squad and give us a solid shot at finishing with a .500 record! But the only way the gophers truly exceed my expectations tonight is where Ben Johnson dupes Gard by feinting a left hook in the hand...

    Felt like Nebraska chugged energy drinks in the locker room right before tip while the gophers were dosing melatonin

    MSU. NW.

    In a disinterested opinion: basketball was a sport I never understood or paid attention to until much later in life. Preferred baseball, hockey and football. When I first started watching heavy amounts of college basketball, the home/away advantage I observed shocked me, thought it was bizarre...

    ***OFFICIAL uw-GREEN BAY AT MINNESOTA EARLY START TIME IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    agree with this. The longer the call takes to be made speaks for itself in decreasing the possibility it could be based off indisputable evidence. Would probably bump to 30 with under 2 min left in games or for playoff/tournament games.

    Official Brad Davison is a Tool Thread

    Exactly. We can blame Davidson all we want but it’s a top down issue. Whether Gard admits he encourages it or not, he still condones it implicitly by permitting it to happen for over half a decade at this point. Surprised he’s been able to distance himself from Davidson’s dirty deeds for so long...

    ***OFFICIAL TEXAS A&M CORPUS CHRISTI AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    didn’t watch the middle 20 min of the game so correct me if I’m wrong and brutal/sloppy play was responsible but I was attributing the astronomical T/O rate to Ben knowing the W was secure and using the free D1 practice to begin integrating our bench while also pushing our starters to attempt...

    Here's the issue: Since 2014 there have been 17 MN-born 4-star recruits, Gophers signed 3 of them

    5 star recruits are rated 5 stars because they fit a certain profile. They have been winning their whole life and have the drive and instinct to do what it takes to win. Part of that is making winning choices. Choices like avoiding a risk to one's career, for pride.They've gotten to this point...

    Kalscheur: Paralysis by Analysis

    One factor I almost never hear mentioned which seems the most obvious and simple explanation: The 3-point line distance changed between Gabe's Freshman and Sophomore season. I still think that Gabe can be a great 3-point shooter. It does seem somewhat ridiculous though, that no one ever...

    ***OFFICIAL PURDUE AT MINNESOTA AFTERNOON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    If Pitino hadn’t made the play call at the end for Gabe to hit both his FTs—could have been a totally different outcome. I hope we see more of that from Pitino going forward.
