He will probably play 8 guys on regular basis. Maybe 9 and 10 depending on game situation and foul trouble. How do you keep that many guys happy? The answer is you don't. But I guess with this player movement that happens, they know what they are signing up for. Big year for Coach Ben, if...

I saw this kid play in high school for Brooklyn Center at Hopkins in a Breakdown event. I believe he was a junior, maybe a sophomore. He was not the strongest, or the quickest, but had a great feel for the game. He controlled the game from his point guard position. That is something you can't...

I was wondering why Ola Joseph was not getting minutes. I finally figured it out, Parker Fox. He gives this team energy, effort, defense, shot blocking, and rebounding. Any scoring by Parker is a bonus. We have enough scorers on this team. It is a nice 3 player rotation with Garcia and...

Johnson on the postgame interview said the plan was to foul Bouie in that situation up 3. I know that some coaches will play it out and some will foul, but don't use Hawkins to be the fouler. He is to valuable to waste his foul on.

I was at the game and enjoyed the win. It was a fun atmosphere. A couple of observations. 1. Our half court offense has much to be desired. For me, to much dribble and standing around. They need to play more inside out. Often times they have opportunity to throw it inside, but are...

Iowa did anything they wanted offensively. The Gophers did nothing to take Iowa out of its offense. Iowa played harder, beat MN up and down the court. If you don't shoot the ball you better defend and rebound, see Michigan State. Garcia at the 5 gives us no defense and no physical presence...

In my opinion, college sports is being ruined by NIL. I grew up listening to Ray Christenson on a Saturday afternoon call 50+ handoffs to Kent Kintzmann in a victory over Illinois, or Mike Hoehnsee throwing 4 td against OSU in an upset win. I cheered loudly for the home state team win or lose...

Irving wanted to get paid. Oregon has a lot of green$.

Any one know the story on Taison Chatman from Totino? He is an Ohio State signee but just haven't seen or heard as much as you might expect from a big time recruit. You would think that he would be the main offensive scorer, but have not seen any blow up games. I saw he was listed as a MN...

12 players in hoops 86 in football, much easier to absorb in football.

The body language on Henley was bad all year. He didn't seem to care for the team or his teammates. His leaving wasn't at all surprising to me. Henley was a developmental player who received significant minutes only because Minnesota was losing so much. If Fox or Ihnen was healthy Henley...

Rob Fornasiere and Todd Oaks were top notch assistant coaches. Ever since they left it has been down hill.

Evans is linked to be headed to Louisville. It was not about wins and losses it was more about the Benjamin$.

The word on Tessa Johnson from STMA was South Carolina had 25K NIL deal for her. This is what college sports has come to: the creation of the haves and the have nots. Remember when Whalen, Schonrock, McCarville, Bolden, Roysland and Co. made that historic run. Hang on to those memories...

A poor Big Ten record and not getting the top 22/23 MN recruits signals a hot seat. I would say give her another year and if you don't make a significant improvement it is time to for a change.

Context does matter. It was said in an educational context. This coach is not just an X and O guy, but uses athletics to teach life lessons. Maybe he shouldn't have read the n word in the social media post, but for the school district to take 7 weeks to decide what to do is ridiculous. As...

No hyperbole here just well thought out analysis.

Minnesota has no chance in Iowa City. Iowa is a very good offensive team with a strong inside outside presence. Minnesota won't be able to guard Iowa, especially inside. Minnesota has no inside game and lives and dies on the perimeter. They will die; it will be a blood bath.

If she/ the program show some improvement then she will eventually be extended. But her past success, or lack of it, would cause most leaders to wait and see. It is alarming that she is missing out on some top instate talent. Recruiting was suppose to be her calling card: Linsey Whalen U of...

One argument that is used with Whalen is her lack of coaching experience. To that I would say Dawn Staley. She took the same route as Whalen retiring from the WNBA and becoming a successful head coach immediately at Temple and now with what she has built in South Carolina. I know Temple is...
