Judd Zulgad: Where was that version of Austin Hollins during Big Ten play?

[BleedGopher]

per Judd:

What's interesting is that Hollins' least two productive games in the NIT came in the Gophers' opening two wins against High Point and Saint Mary's. One would have thought that Hollins' biggest games would have come early in the tournament, not later, when the opponents were better.

He combined for 18 points and hit five of 13 shots from the field in those two and then bettered that two-game total in two of the next three games.

That was good enough to help lead the Gophers to an NIT championship. Had Hollins found that type of consistency before that stretch one has to wonder if the Gophers might instead have been playing in the NCAA tournament.

Leave it to a MN writer to bring this up at a pointless time. We just ended on a good note, Austin was MVP, he had a solid career here, and was absolutely a great U of M representative, yet we're going to find the one negative angle. Way to punish the kid for finishing strongly.

Exactly. Sort of a captain obvious article.

No problem with what he said. We all have been asking that question. Like Bemidji guy said, it is a little late for the article. Sort of like saying the Gophers need a power forward. Yeah we know.
