POLLYANNA!

That's good to hear! DePaul is kind of at the bottom of the Big East right?

Last year's RPI for the year was 201.

Sweet. A fake power 5 win is a fake power 5 win.

#Gophers won by 19. Springs made a handful of 3s, plus Murphy, Mason, and Coffey (15/7/3) were solid. https://t.co/YRRbFx153r— Darren Wolfson (@DWolfsonKSTP) October 29, 2016

Hodger, what is our fake RPI after today's win?

Go Gophers!!

 

[DeathClutch]

Last year's RPI for the year was 201.

Gophers were at 264 last year.

I'm also assuming Lynch didn't play as well.

What does the 15/7/3 stand for?

Yep. Two teams that struggled mightily last year. Not sure if this scrimmage is an indication that MN is improving or Depaul is worse than last year.

Coffey's stat line. 15 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists

 

[smidteye]

Can we just count it as a W?

 

[Cayman]

Coffey's stat line. 15 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists

I interpreted it as Murphy, Mason, and Coffey got 15 points, 7 points, and 3 points respectively, but it would seem odd to specifically list Coffey as having a good performance if he only got 3 points.

That's how I read it first too. I like DC's answer much better though. Makes a lot more sense.

Yeah, if those three guys only scored 25 points between them I don't think we would have won, especially by 19.

Also, apparently Lynch did play per Doogie.

Assuming DeathClutch is correct, that's a great stat line. Also nice to see Coffey scoring more. Pitino seemed to be saying he was almost too selfless in his play style.

Bakary probably dropped 20 and 15 and Doogie just wants us to be caught off guard by his All-American campaign this year

Almost hit the century mark. DePaul must be terrible.

DePaul is awesome.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Bodes well for our chances against Bemidji State.

 

[cjbfbp]

Last year's RPI for the year was 201.

So, in other words, they were fairly similar to the Gophers last year.

This team desperately needs another scorer, if Springs is that guy they could be tough.

 

[JMGIII]

Was it last year, or further back we got thumped in a secret scrimmage with Iowa State?

Do you mean in addition to Mason? Because I think McBrayer and Murphy, and possibly Coffey or Lynch, could also score in double digits regularly.

2014-15, Pitino's second year. They ended up finishing second in the Big 12 at 12-6, won the Big 12 tournament, and got a 3 seed in the NCAA, where they were upset by 14 seed UAB. So they were pretty good that year.

Yes, Murphy will get his rebound buckets and some stuff around the basket but won't create a lot, Mason is the only proven go to guy, McBrayer might be another but he isn't there yet as far as I am concerned.

I don't see Coffey or Lynch as being big time scorers, they'll provide points but not big go to guys.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

This was apparently a very poorly-kept secret if everyone knows about it. Somebody must have told Gladys Kravitz.

 

[gopherhoopsguy]

That's why Springs was brought in to be a scorer and senior leader he might be most important player on the team. So excited for this season.
