You need to play for the Gophers to hit free throws!
Hmmm? I wouldn’t count on that. I watched them beat both Illinois and Purdue. Buie can really distribute, they have a number of shooters, make few mistakes, great ball movement, and their Bigs are very reliable. They are a dangerous team, now 6-3. And Collins is a very good coach!
Is Holtman in trouble at OSU? After a great first year- he is well under .500 at OSU in conference since then.
They also play in West Lafayette on Wednesday during the Gophers "bye" week. Not sure how this changes the calculus - they could get their letdown out of their system there, or hey, they could come out and beat Purdue again and be primed for a Chicago State-style letdown against us instead.
They play really good defense. Solid on both ends.
Hope you are right. Will be traveling, so will miss the game.
I don’t follow coaching gossip and Ohio State is usually patient with basketball compared to football. But it doesn’t look good from afar. I’m not disappointed but still shocked.
TV guys said this was their best defensive game of the season by a wide margin.
Can you imagine what this board would be like if the roster looked like Ohio State's and had 3 conference wins? Must be chaos on the Buckeye board.
What does the 7220 mean on the court? Elevation like the Nuggets do on their court?
He's ready and in full Minnesota sports form!
I only saw the score. Wow. Colorado State is in a free fall in conference play. What is going on?

More seriously, I’ll go with maturity. The game, for the most part, is being played by younger players. Plus, I don’t think they practice them as much as in the past. There are a lot of guys who have brutal form and violate the sacrosanct rule of doing the same thing every time. It’s ugly.
I’d say yes.
That’s correct. I can also tell you that CSU and Wyoming are each other’s biggest rivals, and the campuses are about an hour apart. Wyo was pretty good a couple of years ago, but got decimated by injuries and the portal - their star center is now on Gonzaga (Ike).
Must have forgot how to coach
I agree it depends on how patient they are with him. I personally wouldn't pass judgment based on one down year, but their administration might get itchy. But the trend isn't good. Weren't they a #2 seed a couple, three years ago?
"Gilligan, you can't fly; it's impossible!"
They had a bad year last year too. Partially injury related but bad nevertheless. Partially recovered in a nice conference tournament run.
