I'm interested to see what the recruits thought about the game last night. I know they all say the visit was great, but that crowd last night didn't disappoint and the game wasn't embarrassing by any means (well maybe for the refs)

wake forest was 3-15 in conference last year, ECU was 2-10 in the American. I'm not saying they won't be better than the gophers this year, just that exposure might not be the only reason for not coming to the gophers.

Wake Forest, clemson, and ECU aren't exactly national powerhouses. I would think their exposure is either the same or less than Minnesota in the B1G.

So, can someone tell me where we're at with this trio? How likely is it that all three come to the gophers? When are we expecting to hear something?

Thanks.

I'm seeing some reports on twitter that Mash is entering the portal. Can anyone confirm?

I've noticed they have become a little almost lazy at times when they pass the ball around the perimeter on offense, those passes need to be crisp. A lot of defenders are just waiting for a relaxed pass back to the top of the key from the wing. The wing gets it, looks into the post, it's not...

Yes, the hesitation or indecisiveness is a problem. When he drives then someone has to pick him up, but then someone has to cut or he has to shoot a floater, he can't finish at the rim. Maryland used the back screens and back cuts all day when the Gophers over committed on defense.

Gabe got his defender to jump on a number of pump fakes from 3, he just doesn't know what to do after his defender jumps. It almost always ends with him taking a side dribble so slowly that the defender has time to recover. Frustrating.

Are we assuming the father son duo are working together to throw games because they have bet on the games? Is the guy in the track suit, giving richard advice on how to lose?

I don’t want to see that called. Just my opinion.

Those contested shots just inside the 3 point line are frustrating, it was encouraging to see him finish a tough one at the rim yesterday though!

I was disappointed in Gach's on ball defense yesterday. He was blown by numerous times, which either leads to a bucket or fouls a lot of the time. I know he's tall, but he doesn't seem to get low enough or move his feet very well. Is it a lack of effort?

I think crowds are a big part of home court advantage, however, there is still the advantage of the feel of your home court, not traveling, the depth of the background behind the rims, all of it. I think that plays a part in home court advantage. It will be interesting to see just how much.

love following this post. Thank you.

I was pretty surprised to find out that they've been out of practice since last week and we are just now hearing about it. I think this makes the easier than normal non-conference slate a bit of a blessing, they can use those games to work on the things they missed these two weeks.

I'll have to join that room too. Not only do they rarely end in an open look for someone, a lot of times they can't even get the ball in play without turning it over. Especially in high intensity situations.

Does everyone feel like Oturu's ceiling is that much higher than Garza's? Is that why everyone seems to feel Oturu will for sure stay in the draft and Garza will be back?

Your Christmas come early post did come off as though you were hoping for a loss, at least to me.
