    Iowa game time?

    When will they announce this? People gotta make plans.

    Way to shoot the ball, guys.

    The Gophers couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. That's the only difference in this game right now. Are there any dead-eye shooters coming into the program?

    The only real question...

    Starting with Thad Matta tonight, will any opposing coach be dumb enough to NOT play a zone defense against the Gophers right from the opening tip?

    I thought we were a good defensive team?

    Michigan guards are making us look silly. They are playing open gym basketball and killing us.

    Why does Aaron Craft get so much face-time?

    The dude played 39 minutes and put up only 5 points, 4 boards, and 4 assists. Every timeout and going into every commercial break they showed him onscreen.

    Cobbs/Joseph/White/Mbakwe/Iverson

    Is it entirely unreasonable to suggest that this would be our starting five this season? Mbakwe is hurt, understood. The other four left. Justin Cobbs is Cal's second-leading scorer and leading assist man, and the Bears are 2nd in their conference at 13-4. Devoe Joseph is Oregon's...

    I hate to talk about zebras, but...

    Look at the 2nd half. We had the lead going in. We were 6-11 from downtown. We only turned the ball over 4 times. And we lost! Iowa shot 22 freethrows in the 2nd half. We shot 9. There is almost never a time you can't point at a myriad of factors in a loss, but last night it was all too...

    Game replay

    I live in the area where the game was blacked out on ESPN3/WatchESPN or whatever they call their website now. Where else online is there a replay of the game?

    Dont Read if You Support Having a Lame Crowd at the Barn.

    Another nationally televised game, another morgue-like atmosphere at Williams Arena. What else is new? Rodney and Hoff on those last two possessions tried their best to get some crowd response, and half the lower level didn't even stand up. Disgusting.

    I want Rodney to take over...

    He's showing signs in this second half. This could be a breakout game for him.

    zone defense is for losers

    You are basically saying to the other team A) we are too slow (or lazy) to defend you on the perimeter, and B) pleeeease shoot the deep ball. The gameplan for beating the Gophers is simple: attack the gaps in the zone and kick to the open man. This is just... disgusting.

    Part of his Friday Look Ahead: Player trying to get rolling: The Big Ten schedule-maker didn't do Minnesota any favors. The Gophers opened conference play at Wisconsin's Kohl Center, a place where Tim Duncan's Spurs would probably lose. Now they're at No. 20 Michigan State on Friday, then...

    Are we significantly better than last year, or the year before?

    We are coming off back-to-back 9-9 seasons in the Big Ten. I'm not sure this Big Ten season is going to be any different. I'm hoping someone can tell me otherwise.

    Rachel Blount sums it up perfectly...

    From her column today: "Maturi is about as popular as E. coli among a mass of fans, alumni and former players. He's made costly mistakes that warrant criticism, but some of his detractors have allowed their feelings about Maturi to cloud their judgment. During the search, former Gophers punter...

    UVA scored 58 points in the second half! 58!

    That is unacceptable for any team, sporting any roster alignment, playing man or zone, at home or on the road, in a 20 minute half. That is disgusting and despicable, quite frankly. I never thought a Tubby team would actually just quit on defense. Hey Cavaliers, you're welcome to come have...

    stop jacking up threes!!!

    Post up these little wussy VA guys, please. We have a size and strength advantage. We should have grinded this game out in the post and destroyed them piece by piece.

    ESPN is dumb.

    They spelled Nolen as Nolan on one of their leading graphics. How embarrassing.

    Dead Man Walking

    It's clear that Brewster's fate is written after this debacle. There's no need to crucify him further, I'm sure he knows what's coming at the end of the season. I like the guy. I admire his passion for our program, and his enthusiasm... well, sometimes that's all you've got. He's in over his...
