Just returned from the game. Garcia’s best game as a Gopher. Incredible D by him and the entire team. Six turnovers in 45 minutes. These guys were ready to play. Well coached game. Had they knocked down some 3’s in the 1st half, they wouldn’t have had to come from behind, but incredible...

KenPom has Maryland #22. They are in the next five in AP top 25. Hard to see Gophers first win coming tonight or at home against Michigan on Thursday.

Grove is redshirted. Would be foolish to burn his redshirt season for a season that is already essentially lost.

Purdue absolutely crushed Northwestern yesterday, was up 25 at halftime. We have hung with some pretty good teams, for parts of some games, including MSU, just can’t afford defensive lapses and scoring droughts. Obviously, need M Mitchell to score, and Patterson to shoot less. Need a complete...

Is there any update on whether/when he’ll play? So tired of Patterson dribbling out so many possessions, and his horrible shooting. At least Patterson can shoot free throw and he has dished some nice assists.

Mike Mitchell made it clear today. He doesn’t go down with the sprained ankle early in the nonconf schedule and the team wins 3-4 more games. Patterson needs to stop shooting!

Was definitely not suggesting that he could do it himself. Don’t treat me like I know nothing about the game. Do you really think I went to all those games without understanding it? I was commenting mostly on the column and Izzo, in no way attempting to provide a thorough pre-game analysis. I...

To get back to the point of the column (rather than those taking this as another opportunity for Ben-bashing. Do you really need another chance to voice those tired views?) As someone who has had tickets throughout Izzo’s, and part of Heathcote’s, entire tenure, this was a fun column to read...

My point is that this is a debatable call. Coaches disagree on it. The concern being worry that, even if coached to foul early, players will not execute and will foul the player in the act of shooting. The best 3-point shooters miss close to 60%, probably more in a do or die situation. I am...

Watch the replay. The defense was solid and was for much of the game. One thing you do NOT want to do in that situation is foul the 3 point shooter.A poor shooter hit a prayer. IMO, the game was lost before that moment by poor offensive execution, failure to penetrate, horrible shooting, and...

Now I know you are delusional. I will never pay any attention to anything you have to say. No interest in your POV. Just put you on “Ignore.”

For some reason, perhaps your own comfort, you’d like to believe that I am a conspiracy theorist, just that the conspiracies I espouse are different. I happen to be an advocate of facts. Believe what you want, vote for who you choose. It’s a free country (so far).

Amazing how these unfounded conspiracy theories live on … Please also tell us that climate change is a hoax, vaccines cause autism, and that trump won the 2020 election. Reassuring to believe in something.

Point taken about Big Frank. Hopefully he can dump in some garbage buckets and continue to board.

You think he had control over who left and how much NIL $$ there was to offer potential transfers. Dream on!

I was at the game. First half, obviously very, very disappointing again! Rigsby stepped up and looked like he realized that he needed to score and be more aggressive. The defense was good, not great. Our guard play, overall, is very disappointing. Lu’ he Patterson is shooting horribly. Free...

KenPom has Yale at 103, N Texas at 68, Gophers 73 (after Saturday’s games).

Hmmm? If that is the criteria, Ben Johnson has now coached quite a number of D1 games.

You are an honest man. I’d be unlikely to admit that on a public forum. 🙂

Agree with all this. Very impressed with Asuma. Good that Betts got the start and so many minutes. Fox looked healthy. Garcia looked like he could have taken over the game at any time had they needed him to. HOWEVER, worried about rebounding, perimeter defense (again), and free throw shooting...
