My buddy just texted me, "No one gets less out of more than Shaka with the possible exception of Lorenzo Romar.

Hahaha

I can't believe Abilene Christian is beating Texas right now. They are tiny compared to Texas.

Jericho Sims looks like a NBA player playing against a high school team, yet they're losing.

If Sims came here and put up the same numbers he has over his four years at Texas I think we'd all be very disappointed in him.

Yeah I'm a little surprised he hasn't put up better numbers over his career. I can see why people loved his potential though, he is huge. He looks like gumby out there.

Geez. Abilene Christian looking a lot like our Gophers trying to get the ball inbounds

Should be a rule that no timeouts last 2 minutes of game

 

[GoodasGold]

Shaka Smart looking like a Chia Pet

Or no timeouts. They already get 30 with TV timeouts and monitor reviews.

Welcome to our new coach Shaka!

 

[TNGophfan]

Abilene plays great D.

 

[howeda7]

59% FT shooter. Makes 2. Onions.

 

[stocker08]

Awesome game to cap off a great day of basketball.

 

[golf]

Pleasant has stones. Wow. Great game

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

Shaka Smart looking like a Chia Pet

He was better in the pre-growth phase

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

Welcome to our new coach Shaka!

He checked out at halftime to hit up the Vu.

Seriously. That would have been tough if he missed the front end.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Abilene Christian has more NCAA tourney wins than Nebraska

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

Pleasant has stones. Wow. Great game

Stones are anything but pleasant.

 

[howeda7]

He checked out at halftime to hit up the Vu.

Are they doing virtual visits during Covid?

 

[PhiloVance]

How's everybody's brackets looking? Mine is busted.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Shaka has not won a tourney game at Texas. Just two NCAA tourney wins in the last 11 seasons.

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Shaka has not won a tourney game at Texas. Just two NCAA tourney wins in the last 11 seasons.

But but but... final 4

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

But but but... final 4

It is impressive that he made the Final Four after playing in the play-in game but that shows VCU was a bubble team in his best season.

 

[howeda7]

Gonzaga will cake walk into the Elite 8. Oklahoma is missing it's 2nd best player. Creighton will get crushed by them.

If UT admin treats bb like football Shaka is gone.

Agree. No one stops the Zags except maybe Illinois.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Abilene Christian ... love watching their defense ... connected chaos

It's the defense that makes it go. 20 (or more?) turnovers!

 

[howeda7]

Agree. No one stops the Zags except maybe Illinois.

Iowa can give them a game, but I can't see them winning.

 

[FatNTired]

Iowa can give them a game, but I can't see them winning.

Agreed. As an Iowa fan who posts here when my kids go to bed, the only advantage is having played them once before. Iowa’s adjusted defense is significantly better the second time around.

 

[bizzle22]

Agree. No one stops the Zags except maybe Illinois.

That’s how things go in my bracket. Biggest question for me was Illinois vs OK State

 

[Gopher Teeth]

Pretty sure that person is taking the piss

Aussie?
