You're absolutely right. We lost by 15 points because of that one play by Washington. Before that we had Maryland on the ropes.
It's incredible how powerful this Washington guy is in your psyche.Turning point for me was when game was tied and Washington did his usual "take the game over because I'm God Jelly Fam." and they got the ball and went to the other end and hit a three. Everything went down hill from there, and Washington got pulled quick as hell. I feel like he shouldn't even see more than 2 mins a game.

This is interesting...I see a lot of posts from people that were absent when the Gophers whooped Wisconsin last week. The sky is not falling right now. Both of these teams have been impressive thus far, and I believe will show more improvement relative to the rest of the conference (barring injuries). Maryland has a young roster and should improve, and I believe Eric Curry will make a significant difference for the Gophers. I thought he looked much better tonight than he did in the last game. The score might not show it, but this looked like a pretty even game aside from the free throw difficulties.
Horrific team defense in the second half. Free throws is not on the coaches but tolerating putrid defense is.
Nice to know that we are well coached enough to counter a g*d[bleep]ed zone defense. Because once they figured out we were under 40% from the FT line, they knew we wouldn't be hitting as many FGs as them.

It should be an entertaining conference season. This might be the best the conference has been from top to bottom in my lifetime as the teams at the bottom are still at least average. Thus far, the Gophers look like a tournament team, and that is what matters the most. Anything is possible if they qualify for the NCAA tournament.
I think those bottom 5 teams are hot garbage. You think Illinois is average ? Average is 10-10
The bottom 5 teams right now are Nebraska, Northwestern, Rutgers, Penn State, and Illinois. Iowa is tied with Nebraska with a 1-3 conference record, and they are currently in the top 25. Illinois has many losses, but I guess I would say they are quality losses, as 6 of those losses are to fairly competitive P5 teams, and only 1 of their 7 losses are to non-P5 teams (FAU by 2 points). So no, I don't believe they are "hot garbage " right now.
Sorry, Iowa WAS in the top 25, not that it really makes much of a difference.
Can not find Nebraska in the top 25. Rutgers, Penn State And Illinois are terrible. Do you think 10-10 is average ? The bottom 5 will be even worse than that. I saw Illinois in person and they have a terrible team.

Washington was hit on the wrist on that play.
He’s frustrating at times but I feel like he’s the only one who can consistently attack a zone too.

Getting him time on the court during non conference was a missed opportunity. But Pitino was too busy teaching him a lesson on the bench to teach him on the court.Washington was hit on the wrist on that play.
