Gophers men's basketball: Four things learned from the Green Bay victory

per Marcus:

Bench production

If there is a weakness for the Gophers this season, it has to be their lack of depth, but they're still getting a spark from one player.

Senior sixth-man Sean Sutherlin bounced back from his seven-turnover game last week with 12 points, two blocks, and just one turnover in 20 minutes against the Phoenix, including 11 points in the second half.

Sutherlin was the only player to score off the bench Wednesday, but Charlie Daniels (15 minutes), Laye Thiam (four minutes), and Treyton Thompson (three minutes) also saw the floor.

The Gophers ranked 357th among all 358 Division I teams in bench minutes percentage (14.5) entering Wednesday, per Kenpom.com.

Starters Battle (37.5), Willis (36.0) and Loewe (34.2) are all among the top four Big Ten leaders in minutes played. Battle leads the entire conference, while Stephens (33.5) is eighth.

The Gophers relied on captains Eric Curry and Payton Willis and did a better job taking care of the ball.

All well and good but it's not like we have anyone who should be getting more minutes,
The formula is working beyond anyone's expectations. Ride the horses as long as they are able to run. Don't try and fix something that ain't broken with parts that don't fit or are still being polished.

Honestly one of the best/hits the nail on the head responses I’ve ever read on Gopherhole.

What was BJ frustration with the game? The F——- Trib won’t allow any comments to be printed. (Use to subscribe but dropped because of the management overly liberal views. Especially with their comments that there really weren’t any riots after GF.)

I think Thiam's time and production will increase now. Ben is coaching him up from his early display of wild shots. He is looking now like he understands the team system.
