    Thoughts on team as we head into Big Ten games

    Frustrated by how many gophers think they are great 3pt shooters, that are not: carrington was a good high school shooter, has done nothing from 3 in college. Ihnen with his crazy reach just stands around outside the three. He can be streaky when hot, but he offers little else on offense. I...

    What tempo is best suited to our current Gophers team?

    Uptempo suits most of this team. Payne 's ability to post and score shouldn't be ignored as we up the pace. We will need him when we get stuck in half court games. We have multiple ball handles, long athletic forwards, and decent spot up shooters. In uptempo games, teams are less likely to...

    How Good/Bad is the B1G this year?

    How Purdue hasn't went after some athletic guard transfers, is beyond me! I guess they don't like making long NCAA tourney runs.

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

    I agree on Fox. Ihnen thinks he is a money shooter. He is broke. He is an 8th man.

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

    I remember another great athlete and finisher struggling at the 3, then they moved Rodney to the four, and we had a tourney team. JOJ hopefully has found a role.

    TA'LON COOPER

    Cooper was a crafty off player with very limited quickness. He couldn't beat people off the dribble to set up others and he is very slow laterally. Had we two quick perimeter players, maybe he could have guarded the slowest, but we didn't. Maybe S Carolina does?

    On the positive side with Christie

    1. Ben borrowing "play not to lose strategy" from Fleck. Basketball's version of a prevent defense. 2. Hawkins is your quickest and best bet to have the ball at the end of the game currently to make a play for others, stop and pop, or get to the rim. Yes he needs to know not to...

    Describe the Gophers loss to Tar Heels in 1 sentence.

    Anyone at the game see if our wr were open? On tv you have to rely on the commentators to tell you and they were always piping up UNC. Seemed like we could really have run more and we outhought the easy plays.

    Describe the Gophers loss to Tar Heels in 1 sentence.

    We could have played better but we haven’t beat a ranked team on the road in decades. UNC might be the 4th best team in the big ten if they played in our league.

    All Things 2023 Minnesota Vikings In-Season Thread

    The Eagles have the best off line in the league and maybe the best def line as well. I am trying not to judge Flores to harshly as there is very little defensive talent. Hunter is probably the only guy who could start on that Eagles defense.

    Lindenberg Watch

    In a physical game, we really missed his in the front 7!

    ***OFFICIAL NEBRASKA AT MINNESOTA SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I am surprised by the oline's pass blocking, yet underwhelmed with the run blocking. There wasn't any holes.

    What grade would you give Athan Kaliakmanis in his season opening start vs Nebraska?

    How many games did Tanner win where we rushed for 55 yards? Other than being off on deep throws i thought he played very solid. Especially first half throws while running to his right.

    NBA Draft withdraw deadline is hours away

    I think it has more to do with his lack of Lateral quickness in guarding the pick n roll that keeps the NBA away. See Garza, who can shoot the three yet barely sees the floor.

    Did the Gophers improve their backcourt this offseason?

    We had a historically bad backcourt last year. If we have to think about it, that's not good! On paper, the two new guys seem to hit open 3's and free throws.
