SCUP is terrible. They'll be 250+ on Kenpom by end of season. So many apologists on here. We are likely playing the lousiest teams in D1 trying to get some W's before we get smoked in conference play

That was a really bad team. There's not a lot of positives other than the 'W'. I'm actually more convinced that we might only win a couple Big Ten games this year

Not only are they not knowledgeable with the Gophers, I'm not sure they are even basketball fans. I'm not sure the gal has ever watched sports

I mean, we had 3 points scored for most of this game, against Nebraska.

Group of 6 going! Staying in Raleigh at the Stateview Hotel. Would love to meet up prior to the game at a pub

As a hater of all things Wisconsin, Howard will always have a special place in my heart.

I've been following the Gophers closely since around 2000. Carr is the best point guard we've had in the last 20+ years by a fairly significant margin. The style of ball he played here was a result of the offense installed by the coach. If you want a reminder of the Pitino offense, you can find...

It wasn't as much the 'platoon' system as it was his hockey line sub strategy. He'd bring in 5 guys at the same time multiple times a game. It was frustrating to watch

I recall a lot of similar talk about Sampson III being the next great rim protector before he arrived. We know how that turned out.

A lot has been said about our weak non-conference schedule that produced 6 wins for a team that very well could finish without another win this year. Thus far, the combined record of those 6 teams is 32-60. Of those 32 wins, 12 of them were versus D2 schools. So, were looking at 20 D1 wins from...

Too early to vote Juwon Howard for Coach of the Year?

I would like to double down on my opinion that we missed out on this guy. Great 'glue' guy. Not particularly great at any one thing but is solid across the board. IMO, these are the type of guys we're missing. We generally have 3 or 4 solid players and then a bench made up of borderline Big Ten...

We missed out on this guy. He would have been high impact on this team and would have taken a lot of minutes from Gach and all the minutes from Mashburn. Lanky, good D, handles the ball, knocks down shots and can put the ball on the floor. Overall, in the 4 games I've watched him play, he's...

Carr is quite possibly the best point guard we've had in 20+ years. Mashburn's best quality is 20 foot jumpers. Not sure what you're watching but there is absolutely no comparison. I like Mini-Mash's potential, but he's a year or two from being a major contributor in this team

Good game for Mini-Mash. However, I did watch the previous 7 games where he looked as if he'd never played organized ball when on D. In all previous games, he was horrendous on D

That was possibly the best defensive effort and scheme of Pitino's tenure. Great game. If Gabe was half way dialed in, we would have ran away with it. If Gabe can get it together this year and start knocking down some of those open 3's, we'll have a competitive squad on our hands

People keep comparing this to the regular flu. While the 25k-30k number of people dying each year is correct, you need to put it into perspective. CDC claims that roughly 25% of the population gets the flu every year. The death rate for the flu is around 0.1%. Estimates put the new Corona...

I'm bewildered how anyone can honestly defend Pitino. So many comments on this thread start with "if". Unfortunately, he hasn't recruited well, despite the best in-state classes ever. Also, in 7 years, I haven't watched a game where I would say that his coaching was the difference in a win...

I had the privilege of watching the South Dakota State victory over Washington last night. Wolters' stat line; 10-20 from the floor, 34 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, outstanding defense and 0 turnovers in 40 minutes of play. I know Wolters has been discussed on this board a few different...

Anyone else notice that Westbrook seemed excessively passive tonight?
