Carrington is just being abused defensively.

Perhaps we should start referring to those 50/50 balls as 20/80 balls -- we rarely get any loose balls if we have to scrap for them.

You mean basketball IQ???

Battle has been content all year just to stand out at the arc and cast up threes (shooting 31.7%). Rarely takes the ball to the hoop. Last year in 29 games he shot 79 FTs on the season. This year, in 26 games he's gone to the line only 31 times! That's unbelievable. He shoots 80% from the...

Extremely sloppy ball handling so far, can't afford that.

He moves without the ball.

Regardless of bad call or not, Battle has to be smarter than that to get his 5th foul in that situation. Does he not realize that he may be important in this game? Basketball IQ and awareness.

If Ben comes back for a 3rd year, will we finally implement some type of an offense? Just watching five guys stand around has proven not to be a recipe for success.

We could use him, even though he'd be about 85 yrs old.

Johnson will obviously be back next year, they're not going to fire him. Our only hope is somehow he keeps Christie in the fold and he can recruit a few guys out of the portal who can handle the ball and SHOOT! Can't believe we can't find a few guys who would jump at an opportunity to walk in...

How can Hoiberg, in his post-game, honestly say that "I gotta give Ben a lot of credit, his guys competed their butts off, every play..."? OMG, Fred.

Is it possible that Christie may not have access to BTN and maybe he hasn't seen how bad this team is? Perhaps he'll still show up?

Gophers have been out-hustled for every loose ball for the last several games. That's embarrassing.

They're just so glad they didn't get assigned Michigan State-Iowa with the two biggest whiners in college basketball.

You could throw Thompson in that mix. Not sure he'd start for a top NSIC team. We may find out next year.

God, our defense looks like the NBA All Star game.

Still hard for me to believe that going into tonight's game, Battle had played 20 games and had only been to the FT line 22 times. And he's shooting 82%. Somehow he's got to drive to the bucket strong and get more points from the line.

If I had a dollar for every time I've said that this year...

Besides working on their shooting strokes, I really hope both Battle and Garcia learn how to get off shots going to their right. Neither can do it now. Otherwise, defenses will continue to force them to their off hand and limit their offensive options. Dennis Evans is another lefty coming in...

It is very frustrating watching this team and trying to figure out just what the hell we're trying to accomplish on offense. I realize we may not have as much pure offensive talent as other teams, but what is our goal when we have the ball?
