We’re all Ragin Cajun fans tonight
Their coach is a butt-head. Glad to see them lose.I know we’re in no place to talk down to anyone, but neither Iowa nor Illinois have gone to a Sweet Sixteen under their current coaches I don’t think. But how many times have they even made it out of the first round? Illinois got upset by Porter Moser’s Loyola-Chicago, and I think they had a 1 or 2 point win over UT-Chattanooga, now another first round loss. Iowa was upset by 12 seed Richmond last year, and I think even lost a First Four game to Tennessee in 2014 or so.
For all the talent Underwood gets, I wonder if Illinois fans are getting impatient, like Ohio State fans with Holtmann. Illinois usually looks like a really promising team, and they’ve stomped the Gophers a few games in a row now, but they seem to underachieve and flounder in the postseason.

Corrext. We are getting slightly outperformed by probably the worst power 6 basketball programAlso true, but that doesn’t make me feel any better.
All of which just further illustrates how far away the Gophers truly are.I know we’re in no place to talk down to anyone, but neither Iowa nor Illinois have gone to a Sweet Sixteen under their current coaches I don’t think.

NBA guys are better than I thought they would be when they started this mixed format.I enjoy Jay Wright in the studio. Certainly better than the NBA guys.
I feel like they've grown into the gig.NBA guys are better than I thought they would be when they started this mixed format.
NBA style that most teams are not prepared for. Just enough additional options beyond Picket to keep defenses honest. Brilliant strategy by Micah.Penn State is for real.
There's no substitute for talent. Micah went out and got some talent. And, of course, he knows what to do with it.NBA style that most teams are not prepared for. Just enough additional options beyond Picket to keep defenses honest. Brilliant strategy by Micah.
8. of 10. And all 8 makes were swishes. Unreal. PSU plays a fun style of ball led by shooters everywhere and tough D.The Funk is on fire!! 7 threes!!!
Dredd is Penn State's Brian CardinalI'd like to also recognize that although they've gotten most of their significant contributors from the portal, they do have a couple rotation guys who've been there forever - I think Dread has been there 5 years and Lundy for 4. Happy for those guys to have stuck it out at one place that long and to reach a season and a moment like this.
That’s low. I think he’s more like Evan Eschmeyer or Jess Settles.Dredd is Penn State's Brian Cardinal
Or didn’t want us.Micah Shrewsberry: Didn’t need him.
It depends who the next coach is.Watching March Madness is so fun but it got me thinking...when do we realistically think we will be watching the gophers play there again?
wish the u was worried about someone poaching ben... Instead they all trying to get him extendedSure PSU just won their first tournament game in 22 years, but did they really do the right thing hiring Shrewsbury considering he might leave for another program?! If he leaves PSU might be awful next year! Lol at PSU.
