Coach P wants to see improvement on D. I agree. Not to rant on any players, but King, Andre and Mo need to step up and their replacements need to have better D play potential. it all takes time.

Better D without fouling.

Hey coach. Wanna know who else is really, really excited for this year??

Better D without fouling.

Or as Bo Ryan calls it, the clutch and grab.

Is anyone else confused as to how 339 people can be a Guiness Book of World Record for a "basketball lesson"? When they first announced this, I was thinking they must be expecting 10,000 people or something like that. Seems like a few hundred people would be a typical summer camp attendance.

Look Wiseguy - We can question coach Pitino's coaching style, dedication to the state of Minnesota, play-calling, player development, recruiting and other things program related.

But we don't question his Guiness Book of World Record attempts. Got it?

As long as we keep buttering up Land O Lakes, I'm fine with calling it a record.

Think how much better the worled would be if we didn't have the Guiness Book of World Records.
