    Never again..

    What does that 2nd half say about the confidence the OC has for his qb? Fleck says he is an aggressive coach there is more evidence to the contrary. Unwilling to put the game in Morgan’s hands. Again playing not to lose rather than win.

    Dawson Garcia enters transfer portal

    He is probably a one more college year player, so the chances of him coming to the U is minimal, in my estimation. And the only reason it is minimal and not zero is because he is a Minnesota kid. As a one and done, Garcia is looking for a program that is championship bound with a lot of...

    All Things Gopher Baseball

    They need those mid-week games against Augsburg, St. Olaf and Macalester to possibly get in the win column. They are not even competitive. I would like to hear what Anderson has to say about what is going on with this team.

    All Things Gopher Baseball

    They don't pitch and they don't hit a bad combination. In a year where the predictions were solid, it looks like a long year for the Gophers.

    Souhan: If not now, Mark Coyle, when? Past time to diversify Gophers leadership

    This article written by a man who on a podcast with Lynx coach Cheryl Reeves apologized for being a white man. "It is not about the color of the skin but the content of their character", MLK. I would add with this bb hire it is not about the color of the skin it is about character...

    Jamal Mashburn Jr. has entered the transfer portal, sources told ESPN.

    I am not sure this means he is definite about leaving MN. I think he is just looking at his the options: other schools who might be interested, and who the new coach will be at the U. Hopefully that new coach will have an opportunity to recruit Mashburn.

    Shama: U Needs Minnesota Hoops Connection

    Agreed, but if we can get a MN connection too all the better.

    Justin Gaard on KFAN

    Gard started his rant on the Pitino situation giving the recruiting breakdown of the top 10 MN fb recruits during Fleck's tenure. His point was that Fleck is not getting the top fb players in MN. But he failed to identify Pitino's recruits of MN. In a hotbed of high school basketball talent...

    You mean the organization that has a platform to eliminate the nuclear family, that BLM? I wonder if you were to ask each of those players, or even Whalen, wearing the BLM t-shirt if they think it is good to eliminate the nuclear family how many would say yes. I wonder how many even know that...

    Next Gopher Head Coach

    RP said they didn't get about 10% of the MN kids. You have got to be kidding. He clearly has missed on more than 10%; a couple of years they didn't any MN kids. I am sure Gaard is hoping Pitino doesn't lose his job. And a couple of kids should not have been recruited at all i.e. Hurt and Omersa.

    Who is your "Home Run" hire?

    Tony Bennett please not the singer but the coach.

    Next Gopher Head Coach

    I am on the Medved train but also like Smith. I realize there is a bit of a risk with those two mainly with the recruiting angle. I like the local angle because it probably means this is their destination job . I think they teach the game really well with an emphasis on defense and would...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MARYLAND VALENTINES DAY IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    One indicator of good coaching is the adjustments a staff makes the second time you play a team. I did not watch the whole game, but it seemed very similar to the first contest with Maryland. Maryland was pretty much able to do anything they wanted in the half court offense. I believe you win...

    ***OFFICIAL PURDUE AT MINNESOTA AFTERNOON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    A couple of thoughts about the Purdue game: 1. Remember when Pitino was hired and he talked about pressing and running at every opportunity as the style he wanted to play. He quickly realized that you need to have the horses to play that style. That being said watching the Purdue game it was...

    No chance for a win with the physicality that Rutgers plays with.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PURDUE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I will say that on every opposing teams scouting report #1 is Marcus Carr. They pick him up full court, any time he comes off a ball screen they are going to double him, and with the shooting woes of our wing players there is not much risk to the defense. We don't seem to get many run outs...

    ESPN: Shaka Smart and why it pays to have patience with college basketball coaches

    Shaka has always recruited very well. MN is still waiting for those types of recruits, and they are right in our backyard, from Pitino.

    Reality

    I wish we would see more of the movement that Purdue uses in their motion offense. The off the ball screening, curling, and the ball movement is how a half-court offense should operate. Minnesota's offense is dominated with dribbling and ball screening, though they have discovered the post...

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

    4:00 minutes left in the game and Pitino goes to the milk the clock offense; Carr dribbles out front waiting for the 8 seconds left on the shot clock, then run a ball screen where Carr dribbles some more and usually get double teamed, and finally takes a terrible shot as the shot clock buzzer...
