This resonated deeply with me. The last few decades, we were always one or two injuries away from ruin. You'd see other teams lose massive contributors, and dudes who haven't played any meaningful minutes would come in, play their role, and the machine would keep chugging. I'd always think...

That's why I said "as of late." They are way more athletic than our squad. Interested to see how we look against them.

Michigan State, not Maryland. I know that's what you meant, but Maryland is awful, so I wanted to clarify. I agree with you on the overrated part. Iowa's lack of athleticism really stood out to me. But like us, they are well coached which can cover up a lot of deficienies. I think Stirtz...

We’re 3-1 with a shell of a squad. Two of those wins are against likely tournament teams, and one was on the road. We still get Penn State, Maryland and Rutgers! It’s not even about the W. It’s the fact that if Niko has a few more players, it could be the best era of gopher basketball since the...

Iowa literally was playing iso the whole second half, launching 3s (props for making them). Refs were awful to us first and Tyson and Asuma had to sit in the bench because of it. Asumas block was a thing of beauty. They favored us late which was nice as we were in the bonus. Officiating was...

Guys….Has the bad juju officially disipated? 99/100 times we lose this kind of game.

Just run the normal offense and we win.

Don’t you dare!!

I’m loving this! Is Tyson traveling before he starts his dribbling!? I’ve seen it twice now and I was expecting a whistle. Whew.

I agree with you 100%. These guys literally need to play hard for four-minute stretches, and they get a break. Three to four days before the games is plenty of time to recover (I assume Niko isn't having them run suicides at practice). That said, just to be safe, I wish the obnoxious...

It could really be a blessing in disguise for next year that Kai and Grayson are getting all these minutes, when realistically, the plan was for upperclassmen to be in the rotation. I hope Niko is a bit cutthroat when negotiating NIL with Vaihola, Willis, and Omot. NIL should cut both ways...

Past regimes had zero answers for aggressive, overplaying Ds. So refreshing to see easy buckets.

Reynold reminds me a bit of a Tubby Smith guard. Big, strong, athletic, should be playing strong safety, not point guard at this level.

I think it's already been a month :/

Did you happen to see the Jokic injury last night? That looked similar to Vaihola's. A lot of speculation this AM that it's a hyperextension. If that's the case, we can probably roughly extrapolate how much time Jokic misses to Vaihola. We need him badly for the screens as much as the boards...

If Reynolds was playing halfway decent we’d be up by 25+

He’s not even hitting rim on his layups.

UNC's Kyan Evans didn't play in crunch time against Ohio State this last weekend... Pretty significant falloff in his production from CSU last year. I bet he misses wide-open looks.

I gotta imagine the market tanks for players like Omot. Teams with deep pockets won’t waste their time and teams with shallow pockets won’t take the risk unless there’s a huge discount. It really bums me out. With Willis, Omot, and Vaihola healthy, this team has a much different ceiling.

I remember Pitino was hired in what? March or April? He gave Mo Walker an ultimatum, and Big Mo was Skinny Mo by the start of that season—just an insane transformation in 7/8 months. There's really just no excuse when you're playing ball daily, have a state-of-the-art fitness center, and...
