    What I see...

    So you are saying the Gophers should not shoot 3s? You statement indicates you do. I see it completely differently. They are not good at shooting contested 3s. So you need to find ways to create space. Watch the games. Most 3s we take are taken on the move or with a hand in the shooter's...

    What I see...

    Just watched last night's game: If you are a good shooting team and you have a low shooting percentage, you are taking bad shots. Watching some of these games, most of our 3s are challenged. That is not offense. You can take a contested 3 at any point in the game. The key is to find a way...

    I've Seen Enough

    I find it astonishing that people think there is a certain style to play in order to win. There are many ways to win anywhere. Like anything, it is how you execute it relative to all things considered: talent level, type of player, player development, culture, etc...

    PP: Gophers basketball team needs more from its reserves, and Isaiah Ihnen stepping up

    You can always contribute defensively if you have the want. Isaiah has the ability to be extremely impactful on defense immediately. The game will continue to slow down for him offensively with more minutes.

    PP: Gophers basketball team needs more from its reserves, and Isaiah Ihnen stepping up

    Not sure why people like to put down college kids, especially ones who have displayed nothing but class. There is a difference between constructive criticism and a put down. I like the thought of posting something you would say to someone's face.

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

    Great game from the Gophers. The gophers looked like the superior team last night.

    Gophers have finished below UW in the Big Ten standings for 21 consecutive seasons

    10 years is a problem, 20+ years is a clear indication you are not doing something right.

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

    Missing shots is typical in a loss, no? That is pretty much the equivalent of saying, "if we would have scored more, we would have won." There were some things that could have been done better yesterday and there was a way to win the game. The Gophers played hard and with good intensity. They...

    Basketball floor

    Yellow is outdated, unless modernized with other elements. I agree the color of the floor today can take on some pretty funny hues depending on the tv.

    Basketball floor

    Bring back dial telephones! Other than nostalgia that in may bring to some, the old floor is very stylistically challenged by today's standards. I say keep trying to make it the best based on today's expectations.

    The BigTen is a tough conference. If you want to leap to the front of the pack, you had better be ready to sell a compelling story for recruiting, over deliver on what you sold and then go win some tough games. Otherwise it is fairly easy to be mediocre in the conference.

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

    I think this loss came down to one thing: competing. Rutgers came out playing hard-nosed basketball. They are a good team and they were fighting every possession. This was a tough game. To be a really good team and a really good player, you need to see their intensity and match it. The Gopher’s...

    Pitino

    Depth is a concern and hopefully Pitino has made it clear on what it takes to see the floor. Other than that, depth is something that is addressed in the off season.

    Nice job this year. At the start of the season, I found it kind of hard to watch this team. Now I find it hard to not watch them. Credit for giving Carr room to grow and pushing him. Credit for a team that plays together and stays together. Credit for roster management. Credit for sticking...

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

    Gabe is putting too much pressure on himself. A little less thinking and the shots will fall. He needs to keep shooting and continue practicing getting shots up in tight spaces and coming off of fast movement. He is a good shooter and a smart player...no doubt he will figure it out.

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

    In the recent games I have seen, Carr is the best PG the gophers have had since Jackson. Pump in a little more, "I want to want to win" and "I won't let us lose" and the sky is the limit. Great energy from the young man...keep it up.

    The wet blanket

    I will share a little secret with you. Good teams have a lot of "luck" and bad teams have a lot of "bad luck". I think the staff has created an environment of winning and I foresee some more "good luck".
