How many times did MN allow Illinois get to the basket uncontested? When Cockburn was fronted by post players they lobbed over the top with no weak side help. Defense and rebounding is a lot of "want to" and we definitely lacked that aggressiveness and physicality. Fans, media, Pitino will...

I believe the challenge for Pitino is the managing of Carr's monopolizing the ball in the half court offense. I would give him free reign in transition, but when you get in a half court set the ball has to move. It can't be 4 guys watching Carr dribble. This is where Pitino will be measured...

Top 4 in the BigTen. I am tired of finishing below 500 in the Big Ten. Only when we can contend for championships will we be able to recruit our top MN players.

I have to say that it bugs me that Bateman is opting out for the 2nd time. I understand the uniqueness of the situation, but it seems selfish that because things aren't going as expected for Bateman or the team he is jumping out of the canoe to take care of himself. I don't think that is the...

Fleck has shown a propensity that when they get to the 4th quarter and have a lead they get ultra conservative and run clock. We hung on last year and were able to finish games not this year with this defense.

Yes, but will they be above 500 in the Big Ten? If you want the top MN recruits to stay home you need to compete for championships.

So disappointed to hear the interview by Nadine Babu and her guest calling into question former Gopher and Viking Jack Brewer. It was a personal attack on Jack's character and his political stance. It was quite obvious that both people did not agree with Jack's appearance on the RNC. I was...

Souhan is talking out of both sides of his mask. He supported the protestors for BLM and social justice many who were without masks, and definitely not social distancing, but then turns around and blames people who don't follow social protocol for the cancellation of college football. Souhan's...

Tier 1: Izzo- legendary Painter- almost legendary Tier 2: Underwood- watch out this program is on the rise Gaard- can't argue with his success Peikell-guy can coach- if they get some O talent look out Turgeon- steady eddy I mean Mark Tier 3: Hoiberg- could/should rank higher if using ISU...

That is exactly right. The U could have easily made Claeys interim coach and Jerry could have taken the year to address his health. He was the one that said he could not continue as a head coach.

Nice interview Daniel House, the thing I appreciate about 14 is his loyalty and desire to continue a strong tradition of MN baseball. Baseball hasn't alway been financially supported by the University like some sports but that wasn't an excuse for 14. Anderson and his staff improved the...

People argue that they should have the same opportunities as regular students. But do regular students have a training table, trainers for injuries or improving their physical skills, free tutors and mental coaches, travel on chartered plans to Hawaii or NYC for contests, and who knows what...

Walton is clearly stringing the U along, plus look at all the free basketball tickets he got out of the U.

-Flip Saunders - quintessential point guard and cool nickname -Darryl Mitchell with the knee pads -Kevin McHale -Hibbing's finest 6'10 Power Forward -Sam Jacobsen-the white Dominque Wilkins -Al Nolen- one tough dude

Go ahead gopher8190 and list those disadvantages that we have here relative to other Big Ten schools. The arena, school, location, practice facility, fan base (if winning) are all competitive or better than other fellow institutions. The only clear cut disadvantage, in my opinion, is a coach...

Pitino was for sure in save my job mode. He was selling the 2 out 3 years in the NCAA (even though his Big Ten record is poor), having to work with 3 different AD's (not sure how that affects Pitino), and wishing the state would celebrate the MN kids who commit to the U and not focus on those...

I had the chance, while visiting my son in California, to see the SDSU Colorado State basketball game on Tuesday night. What a game and what an environment. CS was poised, disciplined, and well coached in a very hostile environment. Coach Medved, his staff , and his team outplayed the Aztecs...

If they fire Pitino, which I believe will happen, the first order of business for the new coach is to recruit the players on the roster to stay. If he is an established winner like Beilein, that becomes an easier recruiting process, but undoubtedly some will leave. Many seem to undersell what...

I saw 2 Gopher games in Tempe, Friday and Saturday. Both games were plus 4 hours. The death of baseball: pitchers who won’t consistently throw it over, and hitters who step out and adjust everything. I wish coaches would emphasize better pace. You are killing the sport. PS I saw their 3rd...
