They are undersized. They are ridiculously short-handed. They lack a ton of talent...but

They play so hard. They play within the system. They share the ball. They seem to have great chemistry. They all know their roles and play it to the best of what they have.

I watched the San Fran and Santa Clara and was never so disgusted watching Gopher basketball. I predicted they would go winless in B10 and I was dead serious. They have surpassed my expectations 100 times over. I didn't think Langston Reynolds was worthy of playing at the YMCA and he is now one of my favorite players to watch. He's down low on FT's boxing out against 7 footers and playing his ass off.

How many really good Gopher teams have we seen go into Illinois and get blown off the court? A lot. And they got ZERO help from the refs today.

We have a coach. He has a system that I think would think would be very attractive to play in. If we can at least be competitive in terms of NIL, we are about to return to some good times for Gopher basketball. I've forgotten what March Madness is like. We will be there soon.
 



Six guys that battle their asses off, what could have been without the injuries

Agree with everything in the op. They play so hard and play as a team! Extremely well coached and the effort is always there. Of course I wish the USC and Wisconsin games turned out differently, but the foundation is really being set by this squad for the future.
 

We could easily have 2,3 more wins in conference. Lost by a total 14 points in the last 3 games. This team is fun to root for. It really is Team Together.
Out west, I was so frustrated that I shut the Santa Clara game when it was a 30+ point deficit. I know i don't speak for myself either.
But they turned a corner, developed some real great chemistry, they share the ball and they get the most out of the talent they got. Do I wish they would have a slightly bigger rotation with Turner clogging up the paint or just providing some size? Absolutely. But I trust Niko. If we can get to some post season tournament, I'd say that's a massive overachievment. The style plus the NIL should be able to attract some real nice talent and bigger crowds. Fans like us appreciate hustle and playing the game the right way.
