Agree. Pitino does a nice job of getting the team to its potential so definitely would be great if he was here with another Oturu led team. For me, I gave up on Tubby when the future looked dim due to recruiting slippage and wonder if history is repeating. One example, imagine if we had Potter...

I think a change will be made. Just hope it's not change for change's sake. If not a home run, would rather stay the course.

Instructive for sure. Thanks. Another way of looking at big ten history is ncaa tourney appearances and success the last three seasons. There are 7 teams that have made the tourney at least twice the last three seasons. I rank those 7 teams based upon the number of postseason wins (didnt...

I wonder if Gabe would find it easier to pull out of his slump if didnt have the added pressure of home state? I imagine that he is putting so much pressure on himself, maybe out of state he would be able to relax more and find his rhythm. I get that most local kids do great at the u once they...

Have always thought this and dont think the home town pressure angle gets enuf consideration. For example, the pressure on Matthew Hurt would have been much greater coming here rather than Duke. Not saying that was the primary reason he went to Duke, but think it is a primary concern for many...

Well said. I like Pitino's coaching so want him to stay. However, if Oturu leaves and Coyle sees that recruiting is not moving forward, then might be time to look elsewhere.

Tollackson said in the pregame he doesnt believe Willis has recovered from the ankle injury.

Excruciating losses. We could so easily have a record which would put us more toward the top of the league.

Lack of a consistent third scorer has hurt us all season. Liked the fight in the guys tonite at a place where only one visiting team has had success. Hopfully Oturu stays, Pitino stays, we pick up a grad transfer big (am guessing Greenlee transfers). Another year of experience and we win these...

Master of the obvious checking in. Glass half empty: Coach hasn't consistently got us toward top of big ten. 7 years is enuf, let someone else try. If Oturu doesnt return, there is reason to be skeptical about next season. Glass half full: Team plays hard for him. Dont see main players...

A season like no other.

Nine of the big ten teams have 6 or 7 losses and a tenth (Purdue) with 8 losses. After tiebreakers, could possibly have a weakling Wednesday team with a 9 - 11 record and on the ncaa bubble. Definitely a unique season.

Yes, this is pretty much the key to our season. Carr and Oturu are great but need help in tough games.

Actually I'm in my 50s, but ok.

Toughest remaining game on our schedule. Win would be large.

You disagree? Knight hated on ball screens. Screens were always away from the ball. Not being critical, I actually enjoyed watching all the movement off ball.

The game has certainly evolved away from Coach Knight. His offenses didnt allow on the ball screens, now on the ball screens are prevalent.

I have begun using the ignore as well. Depends on what you want out of gopher hole. I want to read messages that cheer the gophers and tend toward the positive side of things regarding the team and their coach. Others may like the back and forth of disparate viewpoints, which is fine as well...

Can't imagine that if my son were a d1 recruit that I wouldn't look at message boards to get a feel for things. Recruits may not look at these boards but would think their influencers do.

Grimm and Tollackson would be huge improvement, no doubt other teams' radio crews would be as well. Just let them do the games.
