Bakary Konate would like a word....

the crucial 5 points each for the whole game from Mitchell and Patterson really kept Asuma on the bench? I like Ben and the x's and o's part of the game and game management is what i thought could save his job while the recruiting and getting players poached by deeper NIL pockets was his weak...

he's not starting all the time but he gets starter minutes-- 4th on the team in minutes. I still have a hard time watching the Clippers because of James Harden's style of play but he doesn't draw as many fouls as he used to , so it is better. I'm not a big fan of parades to the free throw line

he has played in the Pro-am the last couple of summers. He will get some shots up. I only talked with him a couple of times, mostly to ask where he was going to get an opportunity to play and seemed like a nice kid that just wanted a chance. Good for him that he gets minutes and gets to play...

if I remember correctly, Trevor Winter had 5 fouls in those 3 minutes

I have had Gopher tix since Monson's last year and for about 5 years split a season of Wolves tix when they were $9 apiece in the lower bowl. And I had Wolves tickets in year 1, so have a bit of an affinity for the club--- and this playoff season i spent $600 apiece on a couple of tickets that I...

I haven't gotten an email yet about my season tickets. Maybe they knew I was leery of the whole college basketball landscape and the Gophers place in it.

which is what I thought the original NIL argument was... make money from your endorsements and marketability. not from a slush fund

I thought non-US citizens could not accept NIL money due to the visa restrictions placed on them as foreign students? I don't doubt that he didn't get money from someone, just like the old days, but it couldn't come from the official collective

Big Ten West dominating the standings

you had me at "Across NBA, WNBA, D1 men’s and D1 women’s the past 25 seasons only ONE TIME has a team has scored 95+, shot 70% or better from 3 and recorded 5 or less turnovers. It was the Gophers" the rest was just too much info. I prefer to celebrate the fact that we are the only team to do...

I am in 122 row H and will gladly reach across the aisle for a GoGophers handshake or high 5. a couple of my buddies that will be with me are Badger fans, feel free to kick them in the shins

the kid is fearless-- the dunk attempt against Park in their game at Macalester this year was something. Audacious was the word that came to mind. I might have been able to use a different word had he actually made the dunk, but just having the guts to try it was something.

in a follow up-- St Thomas got manhandled by Denver on Saturday.

at the risk of sounding even older---- it seems like the strategy of more, louder music and ads at every conceivable break in the action is plan 1, 2 and 3. The band standing and listening to 3 minutes of pumped in music at crucial points in the game goes against what i think of as the...

regarding the strength of the Summit-- it struck me at the St Thomas vs Oral Roberts game the other day how quickly a team can move in stature. Usually down quicker than up, but just 3 years ago (20-21)Oral Roberts was a 3 point shot at the buzzer away from being in the Elite 8 and even through...

well stated. a couple things to add-- my ideal hire was Brian Dutcher with Ben as HC in waiting for about 3-4 years, just to not have what we had in year 1 and 2. Any new head coach that doesn't bring recruits from their previous job is 1-2 recruiting years behind. That is why year 1 players...

Justin Gaard @Gaardsy FYI: Get-in price for next 3 @GopherMBB home games is $20 (most expensive is $55 which includes lower level!). The U is listening, take advantage and come and watch this team! https://gophersports.evenue.net/events/MBB-SG

Ben has adjusted what they want him to do in the post also. Last year, it seemed like they expected him to get double-teamed and kick it back out to shooters, or worse, cross court to shooters. Too many passes ended up in row 3. This year he just goes and scores or they run more cutters to spots...

Big shift in the thread-- moved off of Ben's coaching to Ryan Livingston's scheduling. I call that a win for Ben. scheduling is hard-- other teams have to want to play you also. I would guess the better teams were looking at the Gophers and thinking it would be a drain on THEIR strength of...
