    John Beilein is my pick. Prove he's not the right choice

    Who knows; we may be drunk when we ask him. If we’re both drunk he might say yes

    3 Point Shooting

    Yes, 3 point shooting is of major importance especially if your team is shooting at a volume that the Gophers shoot them at. However, you can make that up by getting to the line (which we have done very well at home but poorly on the road). I think we are at our best 3 point shooting wise, off...

    Taking a knee at Iowa.

    I was deeply offended by our post defense although you have to take into account who we were defending. Actually it was more that we let Garza rim run that was deeply offensive

    Donation page to buyout Pitino - Fire Him!

    Agreed, even more concerning is an inability to make halftime adjustments. This is a key indicator to me. Even great coaches have games where their game plans are not efficient but they make halftime adjustments and don’t get beat by the same strategy (or themselves) in our case. Also, the out...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS BIG TEN OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I agree with this. The best offenses move well without the ball. We just flat out don’t do that and that is not on the players. High screen and roll and then Carr dribbling around and then trying to hero ball is going to get Coach P fired. As much as I hate Indiana (especially Dakich) I think...

    Cheering For Wins vs. Losses For More Long-Term Success (Brian Dutcher)

    I like Dutcher fairly well. I watched the beginning of the SanDiego St. vs Arizona St game and was telling my wife that the Gophers look they are stuck in place compared to both of those teams because they play so fast and have shooters with lightning quick releases. SDST plays such a different...

    Who will be the Sixth Man

    Based on that, he should start! Aggressive to the basket and hunts contact!?!? I hope he isn’t a black hole though and brings the intensity on D. Honestly, we look really deep. I hope Pitino figures out how to utilize different lineup combinations against different teams.

    Kenny Pohto commits

    Hopefully this Euro pipeline pays off. Not like we were gonna get him but this pretty much closes the door on Chet I’m thinking.

    The Athletic: The most intriguing men’s college basketball players for the 2020-21 season (#23. Both Gach, Minnesota)

    Well we have great length and a shot blocker in the middle. When Pitino has done well defensively this has been the formula. In some of the recent years we have been so poor guarding the perimeter but I think Gach on one side and Gabe on the other should really help. Tre Williams has a chance to...

    Rasir Bolton: Why I chose to leave Penn State. (A Noose Around My Neck)

    You would like to hear some context on the noose thing? The context is slavery and therefore Black people in the 17th & 18th century were viewed and operationalized as economic commodities. Thus, they were bought and sold and became property of white land owning men. They became the the sources...

    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    Built- I agree with you there. However, I think that Richard rarely gets to 8 with any consistency. I know there is a delicate balance to get key guys enough consecutive minutes so they can get into a prolonged groove but too many as to where them down.

    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    I have always thought Gabe’s usage was too high (out of necessity up till this point) and spreading out his minutes with him still getting the vast majority would make him a much more efficient player both offensively and defensively. Shooters need legs and I think Gabe May be one of the...

    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    Saw this kid play in person this year, actually the game that is featured in this picture. Kid can ball; toughness and grit was on display that day.

    Gophers Defensively

    I actually think I may agree with you. Although I don’t know if it is a putting up more shots thing for Gabe. I do think Ihnen is our starting SF next year Gabe starts at SG (at least in the beginning of the year) and Walton and he split time or Pitino plays the hot hand. I just think we are not...

    Gophers Defensively

    I really like the prospects of the Gophers defensively for next season. Of course this hinges a few prospects... 1. Robbins is eligible 2. Ihnen and Trey Williams make a sophomore jump (just the assumption that the largest jump in growth is from freshman to sophomore) 3. We get Walton...

    Willis to Grad Transfer from Minnesota

    Maybe not, Pitino’s just probably making room for Hurt that’s all. Greenlee will for Walton next?
