For older fans, now. Been around 21 year old college players for 35 years or so. It never gets mental to them. They have no concept or real concern for what happened before they arrived. They move on faster and better than any of us can believe. At that age, tomorrow is a another day where...

Just saying that any of us who were not at yesterdays practice and the morning shoot-around, probably don't know much about the defensive game plan, specific defensive assignments and specific rotations when this or that happens. Yes, everybody misses defensive assignments, but the people...

Ranked teams can generally take a couple of your offensive weapons away. As for Coach P not putting Johnson in yet, pretty sure we know the reason. Once had a coach tell me, "I know he scores 18 a game, but he gives up 21! I play him, we lose, until he shows that he can get a stop when we...

Good to see we're hanging in there after a half!

I've literally asked the question about when a shooter should not shoot to so many coaches, announcers, and players and the answer is always--"Never". If that's your role, you have a wide open look and feel in rhythm, don't hesitate, take the shot. Doesn't matter if you're 6 for 7 or 1 for...

I can see you're not an analytics nerd. Thought it might be fun for one of those guys to do a deep dive into the numbers to determine which one should be let go "First". Be sure to show your work kids! :)

Alright all you analytic nerds. Any of you have the time to tally up and compare all the Anti-coach posts on the Iowa board as compared to the Minnesota board since the first of the year? Thinking that the coach with the most negative posts should be the first one fired, right? Maybe break it...

Alright! On pace to hold Iowa to just 40 points tonight. :)

Well, whatever got into them in the final 8 minutes--Bottle It!. Don't give up on this team early! Nice to see Holloway get some big lay-ups in the 4th. I saw that Rose, came into the game, immediately got a big steal that converted to a lay-up late in the game. And the free throw...

I still can't figure out why people actually bet money on things they have absolutely zero control over.

Just has a chance to watch the highlights of last nights game. Man, must have been 6-7 moments when it looked like Michigan was about to nail the coffin shut, only to see the Gophers get back in it. An amazingly exciting game! Great finish! Probably doesn't mean anything in the big picture...

The problem was first; assuming that the conference made the call. Second; advancing the ridiculous theory that one team might be ducking games in post #22. That's what I felt was a pretty uncalled for assumption from a position of not having any way of knowing what was being discussed with-in...

Exactly. I think for some, the idea that the circumstances/timing for both teams travel was exactly the same, therefore, it MUST be that one team was ducking the competition to avoid taking a loss. Conspiracy theories are far easier for some folks to go with than exploring all the different...

You're saying that the decision was made before Friday, at which time the fires were gong on full blast in the area? The story indicates that Friday was when they announced they weren't making the trip. Even though the winds aren't getting really bad again until a little later today, I think...

One thing to consider is that the Santa Ana winds are expected to whip up to a consistent 50mph again today, vastly increasing the fire danger in the L.A. area. Of course, these wildfires can be wildly unpredictable and even if they don't directly affect LAX and the 2 campuses right now, it...

How his players (and His Assistant Coaches) respond will certainly tell everything you need to know. Not strictly in terms of wins and losses, but more in terms of how they approach games, practice, and everything else associated with being part of a college basketball program. I thought calling...

I'm guessing that Coach P is indeed selling the vision of playing time; as soon as we see you consistently doing this, this and/or this every day in practice. If you have any questions, let's look at the film again and I can show you exactly what we're talking about. Pretty much all coaches...

Somebody has to ask the question. If I, as a fan, choose to dwell on the Rutgers negative drama, how exactly does that affect the play of my Minnesota Gophers Womens basketball team? Is Dawn P gonna forget her pre-game pep talk because she knows I'm also paying attention to the Rutgers drama...

Was going to copy and paste a YouTube video of some of his Toledo highlights, but couldn't make it work, so I'll just tell you. He's a physical big guard, rather than lightning quick. Uses his strength to get where he wants. Is generally moving to the hoop rather than east-west. Seems to have a...

I was rooting for him 2. It may have just been a matter of being 2 years removed from knee injuries that made the difference for him at Liberty. It also could have been the difference in overall level of play as opposed to the Big Ten. But if the above factors weren't really the big factors, I...
