    Michigan just destroyed the Gophers in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half--and beyond. They guarded very tight and the Gophers just unraveled. In fact, the Gophers have been consistently whipped in the first five minutes after halftime on the road. There is a leadership/coaching component to...

    Nebraska hoops on pause

    Games with Nebraska will likely be played. I am concerned about if/when Mr. Covid visits the Gophers. Stay clean, boys.

    3 Point Shooting

    Is the poor 3-pt shooting primarily a matter of poor shooters or poor offensive execution/spacing/passing? Do these guys (Trey, Gabe, Ihnen, Mashburn) hit them in warmups? I guess its hard to know during Covid. One thing is for sure though, our boys like to chuck 3s, outcome be damned.

    John Shipley: Gophers’ Richard Pitino has built a good team, but the blueprint isn’t sustainable

    I was waiting for someone to post this. The formula to win at MN is exactly a mix of in-state, well-scouted OOS, and transfers, so it has to be sustainable.

    Mutaf to transfer

    Mutaf should have played 15 minutes tonight. Good job, Pitino.

    Freeman

    Curry is a Tuesday night mens league player at this point in his life. Freeman should have been playing long ago.

    Mutaf to transfer

    I wish Pitino could have found spot minutes for him to keep him on board. I get that he was likely a major liability on defense but a good coach can find spot minute for a shooter, especially on a team that cant shoot. Could have given the team a boost.

    Mutaf to transfer

    Thank God we only gave up Wiggins and a first-round pick for him. At least the new GM got it right with Ball...I mean Edwards...

    Mutaf to transfer

    Payton Willis is shooting it well at C of C and averaging 14 points. Not a P5 school but could have used his shooting this year.

    Mutaf to transfer

    I was intrigued by Mutaf's size and skill set, and he certainly went right after the basket in his limited PT. I hope Pitino did all he could to convince him to stay because I think Mutaf could have helped the team next year. I suspect arriving to campus late, being out of shape (at least to my...

    Mutaf to transfer

    Really disappointing. He had the potential to be dangerous offensive player. Transferring in the middle of the year from a team that his having some success is a terrible look but maybe he's homesick or just not a fan of Richard Pitino.

    ***OFFICIAL Buckears AT MINNESOTA BOUNCE BACK IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I'd feel significantly better about this team if Ihnen and Williams had shown expected 2nd year improvement; neither has. Its hard to get into a groove with unpredictable minutes, but both have been disappointing so far this year.

    Liam Robbins will play in the NBA

    I don't see Cockburn being an impact NBA player. He would likely get drafted in 2021 though.

    Liam Robbins will play in the NBA

    Robbins is rapidly improving and his most significant weaknesses are correctable. He struggles with his dribble getting too high and too far away from his body when bullying into position on the low post; he doesn't alway fully gather himself when shooting around the rim; and he can become a...

    ***OFFICIAL Buckears AT MINNESOTA BOUNCE BACK IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Yes. The inside-outside play also led to "better" 3-point shots. I am not sure what happened in Madison. It was as if they didnt get off the bus. It was over within five minutes.

    Coach K out saturday after exposure to covid.

    How about a more interesting wager on whether or not the Gophers are in the tournament?

    Reusse on 2020 Gophs: "a lot of slow guys...Who takes the fault for that, Fleck-o-lytes, after his three full recruiting years"

    Not a big Reusse fan but kinda glad he said it. Our defense was seriously devoid of athleticism and playmakers and four years in, this is on the lead recruiter.

    Clippers Watch Party

    DO with his first NBA bucket. He should pray an extra five minutes tonight and thank the Good Lord he was not drafted by the Timberwolves, the worst franchise in all of sports.

    There has to be some concern about the lack of high-end ballers on the UW roster. Sometimes I think Gard is doing it with mirrors. I have a lot of respect for him but their margin for error seems really small this year.
