A few things to expect from Gophers men’s basketball under Niko Medved

Per Greder:

Medved shared what he expects from his first squad, harkening to what he did at Colorado State. Last March, the Rams came within a buzzer-beater against Maryland from making the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament.

“They played an unselfish brand,” Medved said on BTN. “You look at our teams across the board, they’ve always been among the leaders in the country in assists to field goals made. We’ve also been among the leaders in two-point field goal percentage, even though we haven’t been big. I think we cut well, we move it well, we put a lot of pressure on the paint."

I remember Clem’s second game—at Houston, IIRC. Although we lost, we scored about 40 points in the first with great ball movement and screens. It was a revelation after the offensive stagnation of the latter Dutcher years. Hoping Niko’s coaching sends the same jolt of energy through the program.
