Don't see how he could have been in heart failure as the echo he had would have caught ejection fraction anomalies. Sounds like Covid myocarditis that has not fully resolved. Lets hope this is an isolated incident.
Heart inflammation can take months to subside and the high-impact exercise probably did not help. Without an MRI after his Covid diagnosis its likely unknowable.
Keyontae must be in God's good graces and I hope that continues to be the case. Great young man who caught a tough break. Perhaps UF did not do a very good job in clearing their players for resumption of athletic activity.
I think he is still adjusting to the major increase in athleticism and quality of play that comes with the transfer to a B1G school. He is plenty athletic and quick enough for a seven footer and can score with either hand when he's not rushing around the hoop. He's also a shot eraser but...
Robbins had his man pinned more than once with an easy passing lane available to Carr. Not interested. When he does pass its often tardy and off the mark. Gabe has bruised shins from Carrs passes.
Gophers FG% was solid. The stupid turnovers and return to selfish play were what held them back in the second half. Agreed their defense was good with the exception of blocking out on defensive glass and some lapses on backdoor cuts (Tre Williams a repeat offender).
Yes, he was slipping down the depth chart but still an important guy to have in the locker room and on the practice floor. Hard to find minutes with Johnson, Curry, Robbins, and the emergence of Ihnen, who has incredible hands and a lot of upside.
Sorry to see Jarvis leave and hope he is able to come back next year. If not, I wish him the best on his next journey. Great team guy full of positive energy who will be missed.
What a naive thread. No coach will automatically make Minnesota basketball "elite". There is probably a coach out there--somewhere--that has what it takes to build a consistent winner at Minnesota, but it would take time--more time than Beilein or Dutcher have remaining in their respective...
Pitino just let the dumpster burn tonight. Gophers were just wildly overmatched. They will need to dramatically change their approach on offense--and it starts with getting your PG to prioritize doing PG things--to stay out of the cellar in the B1G.
34 points in 17 minutes against ISU with six three pointers. I think he missed one or two shots. The ISU center was not a small guy; had no chance against Giant Scorsese.
We will see how the B1G plays out but this team is scary good. Giant Martin Scorsese is even better this year than last and the supporting cast is outstanding. Odds-on favorite to win the national title IMO.
This was an important win. The Gophers beat a quality team on what was essentially a neutral court. The rotations are beginning to crystallize and the team will continue to become better connected. The move toward playing Ihnen, Mashburn, and Williams more minutes tonight was significant.
Robbins needs to slow down and make the shorties that he can get almost at will (when he posts up and there is a willing passer). I think he is the wildcard for this team.
