Gophers-Colorado St scrimmage

St. John’s fans - we have a HOF coach in his first year with the program and a huge turnover in personnel. Losing a tight game to Pace in an exhibition? Not ideal, but at least it’s just an exhibition game. Hopefully they learned something.

Louisville fans - we were worse than f’ing Minnesota last year and now we lose to Ky Wes? Major red flag, even in an exhibition

Minnesota fans - despite back to back last place finishes and now a 40-point loss to a mid-pack MWC team in an exhibition, I somehow am not bothered.
We didn't play an exhibition
 






Scrimmage Colorado State, exhibition Macalester.
 







Exhibitions are real basketball games. Scrimmages are not real basketball games.
 





Gophers men’s basketball: Ben Johnson explains lopsided scrimmage loss to Colorado State​

But on Wednesday, Gophers head coach Ben Johnson wanted to clarify a few things that went into that scrimmage. Johnson said his team had different rotations every four minutes and they agreed to certain parameters with the Rams.

“There are tradeoffs,” Johnson said. “You might ask, ‘Is there something you want us to do defensively? Really deny or pressure early? Can you give me that look for 10 minutes?’ That is the benefit when you those types of (scrimmages).”


Go Gophers!!
 



From a Marcus' story:

Johnson said he used two different starting lineups when the Gophers lost at Colorado State in a closed scrimmage last month (Christie was out sick). The teams played two 20-minute halves and an extra six-minute game. The younger players got extended minutes on the court and struggled at times.
