I'm seeing some reports on twitter that Mash is entering the portal. Can anyone confirm?

I've noticed they have become a little almost lazy at times when they pass the ball around the perimeter on offense, those passes need to be crisp. A lot of defenders are just waiting for a relaxed pass back to the top of the key from the wing. The wing gets it, looks into the post, it's not...

Yes, the hesitation or indecisiveness is a problem. When he drives then someone has to pick him up, but then someone has to cut or he has to shoot a floater, he can't finish at the rim. Maryland used the back screens and back cuts all day when the Gophers over committed on defense.

Gabe got his defender to jump on a number of pump fakes from 3, he just doesn't know what to do after his defender jumps. It almost always ends with him taking a side dribble so slowly that the defender has time to recover. Frustrating.

Are we assuming the father son duo are working together to throw games because they have bet on the games? Is the guy in the track suit, giving richard advice on how to lose?

I don’t want to see that called. Just my opinion.

Those contested shots just inside the 3 point line are frustrating, it was encouraging to see him finish a tough one at the rim yesterday though!

I was disappointed in Gach's on ball defense yesterday. He was blown by numerous times, which either leads to a bucket or fouls a lot of the time. I know he's tall, but he doesn't seem to get low enough or move his feet very well. Is it a lack of effort?

I think crowds are a big part of home court advantage, however, there is still the advantage of the feel of your home court, not traveling, the depth of the background behind the rims, all of it. I think that plays a part in home court advantage. It will be interesting to see just how much.

love following this post. Thank you.

I was pretty surprised to find out that they've been out of practice since last week and we are just now hearing about it. I think this makes the easier than normal non-conference slate a bit of a blessing, they can use those games to work on the things they missed these two weeks.

I'll have to join that room too. Not only do they rarely end in an open look for someone, a lot of times they can't even get the ball in play without turning it over. Especially in high intensity situations.

Does everyone feel like Oturu's ceiling is that much higher than Garza's? Is that why everyone seems to feel Oturu will for sure stay in the draft and Garza will be back?

Your Christmas come early post did come off as though you were hoping for a loss, at least to me.

The change in defense doesn't have to be a big change either, try picking up man at 3 quarters once in a while. Even if it doesn't create a turnover, it often times throws the other team's offense out of sorts as far as shot clock. They aren't able to set up and run their plays so easily.

Thanks. I agree we should be able to keep pace with an Iowa or almost all the B1G teams in that respect except for maybe Mich St or maybe Ohio St. I know that would take a lot of research or someone that follows another program closely. Built, where does Wisconsin stand on this? How many...

Great Post. I would be interested where Pitino's straight up recruiting misses stack up against other coaches in the B1G? Pitino has around 8-10 depending on where you stand on the character issues. Is his miss number way higher than other coaches? Does he not force out recruits as hard as...

Monson Tubby Pitino I'm still undecided about Pitino's 8th year. I understand he hasn't produced good, even mediocre results in the B1G. I do see a better recruiting, but maybe that's just me always looking for the positive?

I couldn't believe they didn't make him pick the ball up, twice! Anyone remember Smith fall and act like he broke his leg, and instead of go on a break with the team Oturu stayed with him to see if he was alright! Go score, then check on him!
