Brandon Johnson going unconscious from 3 against Iowa on Christmas 2020, and Jamison Battle and Dawson Garcia hitting multiple 3's against Rutgers last year. I think in both of those we came back from 10+ down with a minute or a minute and a half to go. The comeback against Penn State didn't...

Someone mentioned in another thread that it would be nice get a 6'6" guy who can drive and score at the rim. Maybe that's something Cam Christie can add to his game. He'd be even more of a weapon on offense if he can punish aggressive closeouts on his jump shots by pump faking and driving to...

I'd figured we most likely end up with the 7 or 8 seed, with 8 seeming more likely. If the favorites all win for these last few games (we beat Indiana at home and lose to Northwestern on the road) that's what we'd get. But changing just the outcome of Minnesota at Northwestern to a Minnesota...

I think game times are based purely on what see you get. Minnesota is probably mostly likely to get the 8 seed, and the 8/9 game is at 11:00 am Central on Thursday. We could still potentially get the 7 seed if we win our last two and Iowa loses a home game to Illinois. 7/10 game is 5:30 pm...

Boo Buie taking a shot as he tried to take a charge, now he's holding his wrist, but staying in for the moment it looks like.

Not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure the Gophers have been mathematically eliminated from playing on Weakling Wednesday after beating Penn State today. The worst Minnesota can finish is 9-11, and Penn State, Ohio State, and Maryland already have 11 conference losses, and Minnesota is 4-1...

Marcus Domask led all scorers with 31. Wisconsin kid with no Wisconsin offer. EDIT: Seems he wasn't a high major prospect out of high school, so that's understandable. I don't want to become a "Why didn't the Gophers recruit Nate Wolters?" guy It seems like a fair portion of Wisconsin fans...

Dawson having to sit for an extended period after a late, and in my opinion pretty weak second foul, made things tough. If we start hitting some 3's and Penn State starts missing some 3's, I still think we have a solid chance to win.

Would be good to see another strong game from Payne. I have a slight concern that his strong performances the last couple games may have been in part due to getting away with some aggressive plays at home that he'll get called for on the road. Mast seems to have similar size to Payne, but...

Misspelled both Pharrel and Christie

Illinois kind of took control from here. 92-83 Illinois with a minute to go.

Iowa at Illinois is kind of a shootout, 70-67 Iowa with 8 and a half to go. I think Illinois was favored by maybe 9.5. Would really like to see Iowa lose some of these games so we can stay ahead of them in Big Ten Tournament seeding.

They lost 8 guys off last year's team, including first round pick Kobe Brown, who took an official visit to Minnesota once upon a time, and a couple of G League guys.

Penn State comes back through trapping and forcing turnovers, a couple timely 3’s and Illinois missing free throws to beat Illinois by sinking 3 free throws with 4 seconds to go to take a 1 point lead. I think Penn State trailed by 10 with maybe a minute and a half left.

Iowa beat Michigan State in East Lansing tonight, which means they're tied with us and get the 7 seed over us with head to head wins. Iowa's remaining games are @Illinois, Penn State, @Northwestern, and Illinois, so still a chance we can overtake them if they don't keep notching upset victories.

Maryland is also 6-9 in the Big Ten right now, and we won our only game against them, so we get the tiebreaker for Big Ten Tournament seeding. I bet we get seeded ahead of Maryland even if they win tonight.

The probability of winning at least one of those games is 1 minus the probability of losing all of them. Probability of losing all 3 against Nebraska, Illinois, and Northwestern is .76 x .87 x .76 = 50.25% 1 - .5025 = 49.75% chance of winning at least one of the remaining road games. Chance...

Why has Nebraska fallen off to the wrong side of the bubble? Is it mostly because they've been holding the course, winning home games and losing road games, while other bubble teams are earning their way in with big wins? Or because their win against Wisconsin is losing its luster now that the...

I get the sense that Christie is a shoo-in for Big Ten all freshman team, our first since Amir Coffey, since 5 star Maryland forward Jalen Smith was selected over Daniel Oturu. It's probably between Christie, Iowa's Owen Freeman, and Indiana's Mackenzie Mgbako.

Did you miss year 3 of Richard Pitino?
