Sloppy play/turnovers and generally undisciplined play is my biggest concern. Watching the Badgers/Iowa game last night really showed a stark contrast. Those teams play disciplined and handle the ball SO MUCH BETTER than our Gophers it is laughable.
Can that be fixed? The tough part about fixing that is that we really have only two excellent ball handlers. One is not yet eligible (Carr) and one is a wild animal that still needs to be tamed (Washington), although he shows some nice glimpses of what we need (last night). Even so, having only one guy is not a good picture. Can several other guys handle the ball OK? Yes, but they are far from what I would call excellent. If we could at least clean up the lazy, careless, sloppy stuff, we will have a chance. Why in the heck is that still going on? Your thoughts? Coaching? Or maybe we have more guys still thinking they are on the playground during games? I have to admit, I’m sick of Bucky continuing to win, win, win with their “boring” style. They looked very good last night. At this point, I’ll take boring if it means we win like they do.
