I hate to say it but I don’t think that’s true. Pitino brought in higher level talent/athletes here. Over the last 4 years New Mexico has been thoroughly better than Minnesota

I’m not even trying to argue with you my man. But why should we “accept” who we are? I’m sure Alabama/Auburn/etc are happy they didn’t. Ben is a good man, but this is too big of a job for him right now.

I’m aware and I expected a loss tonight. My problem is that the game wasn’t even competitive. It’s one of the toughest places in the country to play, but I’ve seen bad Minnesota teams in years past at least compete with them. Michigan State was out of our league in both matchups this year.

That’s all well and good but we’re in year 4, they’re in year 1. Expectations are different, the win streak was fun but I wish we weren’t comparing ourselves to the worst team in the league in year 4. Let’s start another one on Saturday.

You’re right but atleast he gives Garcia an outlet to knock down a jumper if the defense collapses. The small lineup is what brought us back in the Michigan game with Femi at the 4 along with Garcia, Patterson, Asuma, Mitchell

Exactly why I’m an advocate of playing smaller with Garcia at the 5 at times. Puts another “shooter” Rigsby/Betts/etc on the floor to give Garcia more room to operate. Our 5s clog everything up and there’s no reason to guard them

Gophers are overwhelmed. Garcia is playing 1v5. Line them all up and draft, Garcia is the 1st pick next 5-6 picks are Sparty players

Bench all 3 bigs. Play Dawson at the 5 and go small. The centers don’t want to rebound anyway

And Georgia has been wildly more successful since Ant Edwards left. Can we please stop doing this?

Yeah , but I don’t think it’s a slight for me to say Smith is CBB’s prime Chris Paul man. I think he’s in a great system though and would love to see a more talented and older player like Garcia with that spacing instead of playing next to 3-4 guys who can’t shoot

I seriously want to know. Have you seen Harper play? I’m an NBA guy first, college second. But the Harper kid can really go from what I’ve seen. He’s got some serious juice that Smith just doesn’t have

I’m dead serious. I think Smith is a great PG, I think he’s the CP3 of CBB but how am I dead wrong?

Smith will be no different than Garcia. He’ll exhaust his eligibility before going pro somewhere. And you saying you think Smith is better than Dylan Harper right now is crazy man. High school, college, pro, it doesn’t matter Harper’s a better player by a mile and we both know it. Laughable to...

Of course they’re taking Smith man. I’m not debating what the casual fan would take. Smith is the PG of a nationally relevant program, Garcia isn’t on a relevant program as I already said. Let me ask you though since Purdue is better than Rutgers, is Smith a better player than Dylan Harper and...

What would Dawson average in Purdues system with Paint vs Smith if he was here with this roster and Ben? Dawsons better, there isn’t an NBA scout that would prefer Smith over Garcia

Of course they would. Minnesota is sadly irrelevant in college hoops. Purdue is thriving. Painter is one of the best coaches in the country, if not thee best

I’m sorry come on. I love Paint the Coach. I think Smith is terrific but he’s a floor general. The equivalent as a “game manager” as a QB in football. He’s not special, he’s very steady but he’s tiny. Newton physically overwhelmed in in the championship

Well he can, maybe you just haven’t watched any other big man in the country sans the Michigan kid.

I do for sure. I wouldn’t trade a big time, skilled big like Garcia for tiny, floor general like Smith. No chance

Just like I was in the deep minority that Richard shouldn’t have been fired. So I’m not upset about that
