***OFFICIAL GARDNER WEBB AT MINNESOTA - THE OFFICIAL START OF THE NIKO MEDVED ERA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Ski-U-Ham]

It could be the 2 fouls.

Gophers were 16 of 20 on 2 pt fg attempts.

Missed at least 2 bunnies (Shinholster and Reynolds)

 

[Bad Gopher]

DJ Jefferson from MN?

They have Reik Reik from Mayo. And you remember Longar Longar from John Marshall a number of years ago.

 

[60's Guy]

My guess is that GW is horrible and this is a game for Shinholster to get minutes rather than Willis Jr.

And Shinholster missed the last game with a tender ankle...so I think he's taking the opportunity to take a look at him when the competition is non threatening.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Only thing I didn't like was the 2 forced shots by Tyson, other than that we are so back right now. Everyone playing as well as you could hope for. This is what a "prepared" team looks like.

Longar could play a little...

I was coaching at Mankato West when Longar was at John Marshall. The player so nice they named him twice.

Missouri may be our first test....slow down

Longar a good dude actually. My age. Was legit longer than most

 

[Gilthorp57]

Longar could play a little...

Had a nice career at Oklahoma

 

[UpAndUnder43]

The issue with Ben was we had inferior talent and his coaching had us down 8-14 points before tipoff.

I feel like Niko can coach with most of the conference so we won’t have as much to overcome

 

[howeda7]

Niko's more upset up 30 than Ben ever was when we were sweating out single digit wins in these games.

Ben Ben'd himself.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Is Tyson gonna outscore Gardner-Webb?

 

[howeda7]

I hope he's not in the game the last 10 minutes.

 

[upnorthkid]

Have you watched them play? The CBJ era is over.

More was to the players. We’d turn off and play slow iso ball. Love what I’m seeing with Niko and coaching them hard all the way through. Was exactly what I think we all thought we’d get and hoped for

 

[howeda7]

Pull the starters please.

 

[DietCokeFan]

Crocker Johnson needs to understand he’s not a three point shooter.

 

[upnorthkid]

42 fouls between the teams in a meaningless game seems a bit aggressive stripes

 

[golf]

Cade "Hoffarber" Tyson?

 

[DietCokeFan]

Was just coming here to say the same. Sooooo many fouls.

 

[mplarson7]

1-0, might as well give us the Natty now.

 

[60's Guy]

 

[topos]

A little disappointed we lost the second half... Also thrilled Niko went pretty deep into the bench early in the 2nd.

 

[JZABR]

Safe to say, Cade is our guy.

 

[60's Guy]

Crocker Johnson needs to understand he’s not a three point shooter.

But, he must have the green light? He jacked em up multiple times in at least two of the games so far.

 

[60's Guy]

Safe to say, Cade is our guy.

Question is...who is the second guy night in night out? Or will we just hope somebody different fills the role? Worrisome so far if Tyson doesn't have 18 to 30 every game.

 

[die hard gopher]

Crocker Johnson needs to understand he’s not a three point shooter.

Well he went 34-96, 35% at CSU last year.

There is no question its Kai!

I think Asuma and Willis can both score more when they want to. Willis couldn't hit anything tonight though.

 

[Gold Vision]

Great first half, really ugly second half. Wish I could say the second half was because we went deep into the bench, but there were some really rough minutes by our core rotation.

Lots to build on there. Cade continues to score at a high level. Durkin surprised me with some really nice looks. Reynolds is fearless and had a really nice complete game. That’s the first time I’ve seen Shinholster play and I think he definitely has some potential. Asuma had a nice first half, seemed to disappear a bit in the second half.

Really off game from Willis Jr. offensively, hopefully that’s an anomaly.
