    Alex Kaliakmanis: Trying very hard not to comment on a program that our family decided to cut ties with.

    Daddy AK has always been outspoken on social media, generally talking favorably about the gophers. I remember when there was speculation last year about "Tanner vs. Athan," he was a class act and acknowledged, "Tanner is the guy, and should be." The social media commentary on Athan has been...

    We need linebackers!

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS SAN FRANCISCO NEUTRAL SITE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Stop doing that overly aggressive screen hedge. It messes up the entire defense. Everyone gets lost.

    ***OFFICIAL ARKANSAS PINE-BLUFF AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This is really hard to watch. They are playing the exact same way down the stretch as they did against Missouri. The only difference ARPB is complete trash.

    Allowing 65 is acceptable. Scoring 41 is not, haha.

    ***OFFICIAL SOMETHING CALLED USC UPSTATE AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    On offense they looked like they were playing on roller skates. Defense was actually “gritty,” for maybe the first time in the Ben Johnson era.

    4 possessions.

    Ben angrily yanked him after he made that atrocious turnover around the 4 min mark. I hope you're right, but my gut says it was intentional. I'm all for a 1-minute benching; tell him to take care of the ball and win the game. But to leave him on the bench when we're literally fumbling the...

    So your freshman with one game of collegiate experience could put the team on his back, duh...

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

    Is anybody else kind of thankful he's back? Our kryptonite in the Johnson era has been physicality and speed. I'm all for the opposition having a 7-footer parked out on the perimeter and bombing threes at a low percentage! I hope he logs similar minutes to his ORU days tonight (doubtful). I...

    2023-2024 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    I was bummed when he transferred. Not because he was some irreplaceable talent but because he played way more minutes than he deserved, took a lot of lumps, and I thought he could evolve as a sophomore from that experience. He had awful body language at times last year, and by February, we all...

    Seeing some of his warts tonight. Only negative IMO.

    2023-2024 Gophers Basketball Schedule Thread

    I feel like I've been a good sport about having to pay for ancillary streaming services like Big Ten + Plus in past years, and I think even the SEC network in some of the Richard Pitino era (before YouTube TV). However, it really irritates me that I must tack on Peacock to watch my favorite...

    Things I want to see (in no particular order): Cam Christie on the floor Payne playing 25+ productive minutes The opponent held under 60 points KenPom ranking improves after the game Play winning basketball for 9/10 of the 4-minute TV timeout stretches Regarding the last bullet, I'd guess we...

    ***OFFICIAL BETHUNE-COOKMAN SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Just watch with your eyeballs. Any objective basketball fan sees more depth, athleticism, and experience. There's no need to cherry-pick games from last year to compare to. And if you are, why not point out that W. Michigan was also +300 net (similar to Bethune), and we won by 1 point? Lol. I...

    ***OFFICIAL BETHUNE-COOKMAN SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Lol, winning each game by 20+ is struggling? There were frustrating moments in both games (Macalester defensively and BCU offensively), but neither game was ever in question. The floor and ceiling of this team are much higher this year than the previous two, and it's not even debatable...

    Lower level tickets available to the season opener for $3

    It's a little disingenuous as the fees will likely be at least 5x the cost. But it is still absurdly cheap. I will be treating the wife to damn near courtside seats for under $25 all-in. If she plays her cards right, she may earn an encore for the UTSA Roadrunners on Friday. She is not a...

    ***OFFICIAL MACALASTER AT MINNESOTA EXHIBITION IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I don't think he's a conventional #2, but I think with the right matchup, he could help defend certain perimeter players.
