Interesting article on how parents’ attitudes can influence their kids and poison a locker room - definitely worth a read and includes comments from Hurley and Howard’s coach, Howard Blakeney. https://sports.yahoo.com/floor-seats-college-recruiters-pass-160841424.html?.tsrc=fp_deeplink

Was wondering where people are with their mindset/expectations. As I recall last year, Hawkins and Mitchell weren’t lauded much and I was happy with both. Hawk was the first real PG we’ve had here in a while. So what’s your prognostication?

“I ain’t twisting my head 360 degrees for hi-fives and back slaps anymore. Lots of teams need better mascots, as fans in any of the neighboring states or St. Paul can attest to. I will be exclusively announcing my new home with Randy Shaver on Kare 11, when my ransom is met,” Goldy out 🎤

I watched the second half last night, as I could only stay up for the first half on Tuesday - I’m still in shock that we won. I kept expecting us to lose, and this is a game which we would have earlier in the year, but we kept scrappy do-ing it until the end and a win. Yes, their best player...

For no particular reason, I say yes, and that the Butler won’t do it Tuesday evening

Here we go -

My baseline was a postseason this season and I don’t see that happening, based on the available metrics - this qualifies as a good use of analytics. I’ve been a big backer of Ben, as he is our coach, but I think we need a change. I will always be a “homer” and I’ll take that over starting...

That is the question 🙋‍♂️ and which draftnicks get it right?

I thought after the historic program comeback against PSU, we’d win the next two with aplomb. Unfortunately, we looked like a junior high team again. My baseline for Ben this season was a postseason of some stripe. If we beat Sparty, then Purdue, I think 🤞we’d make the NIT. A step forward...

Their chancellor knew what he was doing. https://sports.yahoo.com/the-deion-sanders-effect-colorado-sees-record-number-of-applications-including-50-spike-from-black-students-231703488.html Colorado might have only gone 4-8 in its first season with Deion Sanders as head coach, but it was a...

Vrabel for me, as he’s younger and did amazing work in Tennessee especially with the drek he had to work with the last few years.

Excellent article about our PG by Marcus - worth a read. Interesting insights on his recruitment and how serendipitous it was. His confidence is amazing and contagious! https://www.startribune.com/elijah-hawkins-minnesota-gophers-basketball-transfer-howard-dematha-catholic/600345885/...

The stars are aligning my friends, the stars are aligning. Win this one and we’re -

A three game winning streak, followed by two losses which featured our 2 best halves of buckets =improvement. It’s percolating and is about to culminate in one of the most spectacular, surreal & successful runs in MN sports history. This includes winning 2 of 3 on the road The 👃wussed out on...

We played excellent after the Iowa debacle and went toe-to-toe with them at their house. Heck yes, Ben deserves another year. Anyone who isn’t completely biased can see the improvement.

Time to take this show back on the road and exact revenge on SB Sunday - world’s best appetizer!! I think we do it, as beating Sparty when we were down by 9 (45-36) w/9 minutes left, is big boy stuff! Andy Katz is right, we’re playing like the third best team in the conference. I have...

I’m too excited to sleep, so this should help🤣 I think we win two, including one mind boggling upset. Ill go out on a limb and feel free to mock me if I’m wrong, I can handle it. Iowa and Purdue. I think Payne’s athleticism will bother their Green Giant and he ain’t a freshman this time...

Via NYT - For years, the rising price of sports rights has been a major headache for media executives, who have watched viewers abandon traditional TV for streaming services even as their companies pay up to broadcast games. On Tuesday, Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery proposed a new...

Do we make Izzo cry on Tuesday?

Love that he challenged the team after the PSU W - Confidence: It has to induce confidence, if they don't believe now, they we have to switch them out, we've got the wrong guys in the locker room. But I think they do. This has to be a confidence boosting win.
