    No need to panic! Yet.

    Give the ball to Asuma Ben. For two reasons. But first you need to change your style to a ball movement offense rather than dribble, dribble and dribble some more. My take is Asuma is built for that role. And then bring in another PG to do the same The fans would be curious and come and watch...

    Disillusionment

    I have boycotted the NBA since the mid-80's. NCAA basketball is quickly getting to that point.

    My guess is that those on scholarship don't play AAU.

    That is a fair question as injuries have held him back. It will be interesting to see if he plays any AAU and takes time to heal for Summer workouts. At 6'-8" and 230 or so, is he done growing other than getting stronger? Grove also played goalie on his soccer team so that says a lot about his...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA STATE NIT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I don't think we match up that well. Our perimeter D will really be tested and lately that has not been good and Avila will be a handful for Payne away from the basket. Their passing to the back door slasher is really good. Even though they have been good from 3, could Ben throw some zone their...

    I Believe in the Death of Julius Caesar and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

    Thanks Blizzard. This is what I believe. Science is always trying to catch up with the Bible. It will never happen. People are funny. The majority accept the writings of Homer, Plato, Herodotus, Sophocles, etc. inspite that very few of their manuscripts have been vetted compared to the Bible...

    I Believe in the Death of Julius Caesar and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ

    I have appeared to you? Jesus presents Himself to Paul as he was His chosen apostle, hand picked, real and also proof of His resurrection. This is not a time to send a courier or other form of messenger. Paul was not to be an apostle chosen by man but by God Himself thus he was to become a...

    At 18-14, will the Gophers make the NIT?

    Really?? I will be totally surprised if any of the top 7 opt out. After the L to MSU: Garcia: “I definitely think we're continuing to go in the right direction. That's what it's about. We've got guys in the locker room, a whole coaching staff, a whole university that's behind us that's willing...

    Dawson Garcia believes the Gophers aren't done winning. But will he be back?

    After the L to MSU: Garcia: “I definitely think we're continuing to go in the right direction. That's what it's about. We've got guys in the locker room, a whole coaching staff, a whole university that's behind us that's willing and committed to moving in the right direction. “I've got nothing...

    At 18-14, will the Gophers make the NIT?

    9 BIG wins is a good and noticeable improvement. I was hoping for a ceiling of 8 and then18 season wins and NIT spot. I don't expect an invite especially due to our bad finish. If we could have finished strong that may have helped.

    Gophers point guard Elijah Hawkins 'definitely coming back next year'

    Cooper was boring, sluggish and methodical, even when effective and also poor at the FT line. Hawk is high energy, could create spark when needed, created a lot of "easy" baskets for his mates and did well at the FT line. He had fewer warts than Cooper. My choice? Hawk hands down and glad he's...

    Bad defense??

    The BIG has the Gophers well diagnosed and Ben does nothing else to treat the problem. Thus they are very easy to prep for and in addition Ben is so predictable. Plus we are the worst D team in the league the past 4-5 games and we have obvious weakness's. My concern going into the BIG was how...

    All Things Championship Week & Building the Field of 68: (Saturday) Available At-Large Bids = 4

    Clearly the surprise BIG team that most slotted for 12th or so pre-season. Gophers and PSU below them. Clearly MSU and Maryland were the biggest flops. How sweet it would be in the Gophers keep MSU out of the tourney!!
