Most starting 5's have role players? His role is to make non-challenged 3 pointers, open 2's, finish on breaks. Not try to create off the dribble and stop ball movement, not to go one on one against quicker players. With two great guards he has embraced his role well.

It seems like MN, hasnt fired coaches so fast in the past. They get plenty of excuses for extensions. So based on the past, I can see Ben sticking around even if they only get 5-6 B1G wins. Next year you would have: PG Hawkins, Asuma SG Carrington, Mitchell SF Christie, JOJ PF JOJ, Ihnen...

Darryl Dawkins?

I wish Fox would have fell in love in the weight room, during his time off. Because of quickness and size limitations, he has trouble with thicker post players, and wing players, so he is best against those few teams that play a second big, or if they go small ball. I like Fox's play better...

If Arkansas and Mn are even, and we take a 3 star they didn't pursue do they care? Do we care when a 3 star leaves Mn?

You are correct, last I saw them I saw the same returners. Although if I was painter, I would have tried for one or two bigger and long guards to stop dribble penetration but also could play uptempo on offense.

Was Jack Wilson hurt? We will need him against Purdue if not for his 5 fouls alone.

Frustrated by how many gophers think they are great 3pt shooters, that are not: carrington was a good high school shooter, has done nothing from 3 in college. Ihnen with his crazy reach just stands around outside the three. He can be streaky when hot, but he offers little else on offense. I...

Uptempo suits most of this team. Payne 's ability to post and score shouldn't be ignored as we up the pace. We will need him when we get stuck in half court games. We have multiple ball handles, long athletic forwards, and decent spot up shooters. In uptempo games, teams are less likely to...

And Athan was a four star.

How Purdue hasn't went after some athletic guard transfers, is beyond me! I guess they don't like making long NCAA tourney runs.

A three star? Did they want him?

I agree on Fox. Ihnen thinks he is a money shooter. He is broke. He is an 8th man.

I remember another great athlete and finisher struggling at the 3, then they moved Rodney to the four, and we had a tourney team. JOJ hopefully has found a role.

Cooper was a crafty off player with very limited quickness. He couldn't beat people off the dribble to set up others and he is very slow laterally. Had we two quick perimeter players, maybe he could have guarded the slowest, but we didn't. Maybe S Carolina does?

1. Ben borrowing "play not to lose strategy" from Fleck. Basketball's version of a prevent defense. 2. Hawkins is your quickest and best bet to have the ball at the end of the game currently to make a play for others, stop and pop, or get to the rim. Yes he needs to know not to...

Anyone at the game see if our wr were open? On tv you have to rely on the commentators to tell you and they were always piping up UNC. Seemed like we could really have run more and we outhought the easy plays.

We could have played better but we haven’t beat a ranked team on the road in decades. UNC might be the 4th best team in the big ten if they played in our league.

The Eagles have the best off line in the league and maybe the best def line as well. I am trying not to judge Flores to harshly as there is very little defensive talent. Hunter is probably the only guy who could start on that Eagles defense.
