It’s exceedingly frustrating to comprehend that Al Nolen means so much to the Gophers that they literally cannot guard the 3-point line without him.
What happened against Virginia and Cornell is simply unacceptable.
The worst part about this whole thing is that the Cavs and Big Red may win a combined 30 games this season.
Bottom line, the Gophers are not a good team. I’m not sure if they’re a “bad” team, but they’re certainly not a good team.
Good teams don’t get embarrassed by a conference bottom-feeder (Virginia), prepare for four days and barely squeak by an overwhelmingly undermanned team (Cornell) at home.
Don’t try and rationalize or make excuses – Minnesota just isn’t all that good.
And here’s why:
The Gophers’ free throw shooting has gone beyond bad, sped past embarrassing and has caught up with downright bizarre. I cannot think of another word that to describe how they shoot from the charity stripe. It’s an awkward, foolish event every time one of Tubby’s jerks toes the line.
And the perimeter defense?
Don’t even get me started.
There are so many people to blame for Minnesota’s ineptitude. Sometimes they look lost, sometimes they look undermanned and other times they look like they aren’t even trying.
