You don’t have to throw everything at him ... foul hard early, double team / help side overplay, make him make decisions where he has to see the whole court AND PASS EARLY to be successful.

MSU with 53 assists on 60 field goals ... our assists are mostly due to one-on-one failing and some how the pass in desperation works. This is winning mid-major basketball. Worried about the Big Ten if this is the offense “style”.

Yes he was

It's always fun to speculate on the starting line-up. As for Gabe, his defense will always get him a lot of minutes. But you're right, Gabe didn't shoot as good as he did as a freshman at only 34% from 3-pt, but Gach shot the ball even worse ... like 9% worse at 25% from 3-pt. Also, the Big...

With Gach our roster is now complete. How many games do we win? We focus too much on individual potential. We don’t look at roles ... on both ends of the court. Instead we compare players and rosters without any recognition it’s a team. How players fit together. How 1 + 1 = 3 ... that’s what...

What is the “foundation”? Defense appears to be good if the players are self motivated to do it ... Offense is basically go one-on-one (or more) and pass sometimes ... assists by passing into the post are high because by nature, post moves involve very little dribbling. Ball movement really...

That “big line-up” would score 75 and lose by 20.

I agree '18-'19 was fun, but that team was not a "just barely get in team". There was a serious mid-to-end-of-season slump that was saved by a win over Penn State and a couple of Purdue wins. The Purdue wins were because of defense ... something that was rarely seen prior to those games. So, if...

Daniel has a lot to work on ... he's not a very good passer and has a lot of turnerovers without even trying to pass. BUT, he's a motivated kid with a lot of god given talent. Is it a risk, yes, but even some of last years lottery picks spent time in the G league. The G and rookie salary cap...

Pitino has a lot to work on then ... Gard and a number of other coaches have taken seasons that were teetering on the brink, and have made them special. Pitino has not done that ... ever ... I agree with those that believe it has nothing to do with talent and a lot to do with not having a...

I agree ... a GREAT assistant from a coaching perspective would not view this as an attractive job. Anyone taking it obviously sees the risk of it being a 1 year job.

Teaching is going to be critical. Next year is not guaranteed and that is even with a highly rated class coming in. Defense was not very good considering the athleticism on the team last year. Offense was limited to a lack of efficient ball movement (this team pounds the air out of the ball and...

For the State of Minnesota, the ultimate risk (death) is pretty clear. - 80% of deaths related to Long-term Care Facility Residents (obviously serious Health Conditions) - 99.2% of deaths have Pre-existing Health Conditions I'm not the smartest guy, but I like to believe that some really smart...

I believe I've seen the same reported for Iowa and Iowa State, both opening this fall.

Agreed ... Actual Data ALWAYS beats assumptive models and ptedictions

I must admit ... I understated Klay’s defense on purpose. Somehow vertical jump has become the measure of athleticism when ablility to move vertically and recovery speed are much more important. I guess we can thank social media and the internet for this ...

Vertical doesn't always equate to lateral quickness and basketball skills are independent of vertical ... vertical is fun to measure and talk about, but doesn't really mean much ... Klay Thompson is considered an above average defender yet rarely (if ever) plays above the rim

I heard 6' ... in shoes

One of the best games I can remember was the 2018 Section Final between Orono and DeLaSalle ... that was a crazy one

And first thing Ed does is get a 7 footer ... Ed does more than I think he gets credit for
