    2022/23 Gophers Free Throw Thread

    back when Trevor Mbakwe was playing, one of the Badger boards had a tally going on who would miss more free throws- Trevor or the Badgers. and it was close for quite a while cuz Trevor got fouled so much and the Badger group was pretty solid, what with the final 4 trip and all.

    Have the Gophers turned the corner?

    5. Continued improvement from freshmen - these guys are coming together and look more poised with every game! Need some more point production outside of Payne last night but they aren’t forcing it and the game will come to them if they keep the smart, hard effort up! I like the improvement and...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Holtman told the ref they were going to foul Payne on his cut-- so having him not move was smart. I am not sure of the college rules but the HS rules leave too much room for the Ref's judgement. and in late game situations it usually has to be pretty blatant or overly physical before it ever...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    when both coaches were talking it was hard to hear either one. It was interesting to see how quick Holtmann took the mic off postgame vs Ben. Which was probably talked about pre-game. Would have been interesting to listen to THE Ohio State postgame locker room. I liked it a whole lot better...

    Most Excited About This Team in Years!! Bright Future!

    St Thomas plays a style of basketball that doesn't utilize sheer size-- quick, decisive slashers and ball movers are the priority. That doesn't seem to be TT's strength. Now maybe that style is out of necessity because the D3 and new D1 ranks are not filled with 6'11" guys... but they seem to be...

    STrib: Gophers men's basketball on pace for lowest attendance in five decades; average tickets scanned is 3,313

    from the " get off my lawn" section....I don't think the game day experience people at the U ever look around at the crowd to see who their customer is. Pre-game and half-time music so loud that the people that have had season tickets for 25 years and want to chat with their seat neighbors who...

    Anything positive you can think of?

    This thread needed a bump and I have a positive to add. Braeden Carrington played a really active game yesterday. That is my favorite part of Ola-Joseph's game too. Activity, hustle, effort-- things like that eventually lead to good basketball and seeing Braeden go take a couple of offensive...

    Can someone smarter than me explain what our identity is or what strengths we have?

    that was post #2--classic rookie mistake of using absolutes and generalizing. Hopefully with some more posts and more seasoning, we will see improvement as the years pass

    2022-2023 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    I have seen posts regarding other coaches in year 2 compared to the Gophers, so just for reference.... Will Ryan is in year 3 at UW Green Bay and the Tommies dominated them for all but about 6-8 minutes to start the 2nd half. I don't know what I expected from Bo Ryan's son but this definitely...

    Settle the @$#% down, please.

    the rest of the players were on the upper level so they could watch both courts- The DeLasalle vs Minnetonka game was on the other court and was a better game. I talked to one of the assistants as I was leaving and he said all the players wanted to show up-- nothing mandatory, they had their...

    The time Minnesota played Alabama 5 on 3.

    I think Richard finally realized going through a 5'1" 65+year old lady security guard to get into a 1 on 5 fight on national television wasn't such a good idea. And the boys did quiet down a little bit --bigger and more security people came and must have told them to quiet down or get tossed out.

    ***OFFICIAL ST. FRANCIS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    impressive game from the Tommies-- their freshmen played really well today against St Francis-- Andrew Rohde is the real deal (Badger fans on twitter are telling him to transfer to the Badgers already) and Kendall Blue had a good game- Ahjany Lee played well too-- he needs to bulk up to handle...

    The time Minnesota played Alabama 5 on 3.

    that move is what started it-- Nate was dong whatever he wanted in the first half and started to let Sexton hear about it-- so this one embarrassed Sexton enough that he got mad and the trash talk got going. I was in row 3 or 4 and a bunch of young over-served trashtalkers were in the front row...

    Braeden Carrington named Mr. Basketball

    good list-- just to be picky, I would have Bjerke ahead of Loge and Dodd ahead of Omot-but that is mostly from watching Omot at state where he struggled. I'll trust you and the UND coaches on that one. just out of curiosity- what do you think of Berthe from Park? I only saw the state games but...

    All Things Boys MSHSL State Tournament

    I think he is going to be really good. He pushes the ball upcourt so well, willing to throw 50ft alley oops-- when he has players that can finish those plays he is going to have some huge assist nights. His shot is too slow from 3, but his pullup game is good. and he has that will to win that is...

    All Things Boys MSHSL State Tournament

    no room for him on press row-- some old credentialed reporter showed up with a full size suitcase with all of his equipment. it took him 15 minutes to get it all out and set up. Flip side is Ryan got to watch both games on the stream, so could comment on both on the twitter

    Charges: Fan assaulted referee at high school basketball game in northwestern Minnesota

    I used to run our local youth program and one year I knew we had a bunch of parents that were going to be problematic-- yellers and screamers and had never played basketball. So I hired a ref from Stillwater that had writted a book about how to enjoy your kids sports career to come and give a...
