Thing that stood out to me the most: the last 60 seconds that seemed an eternity, this is where past gophers teams would have failed, pitino jr. and johnson alike

Teams of old, invariably:
  • bungle one of those crucial in-bounds passes
  • clank two FT in a row (maybe even fail to hit the rim on one)
  • make boneheaded turnover under trap pressure
  • violate 5-sec rule inbounds
  • violate 10-sec rule failing to get half court
  • OR…..Misc. take your personal favorite pick of the endless, moronic bizarre methods we’ve employed to piss games away in final seconds over the years
Last 60 today: we executed the end game correctly. We hit our FTs. Durkin and Tyson both showing maturity and poise to call timeouts when necessary. We properly defended each drive as time whittled down (mostly), with players knowing their assignments, acting in sync and keeping awareness of clock, fouls, score etc. Good job Medved.

*goddamn…..so grove actually has that dog in him after all….make no mistake it’s a binary equation.

Those timeouts called were the huge to me. Most plays last year, it would have been a turnover. Cade and Bobby didn't panic.

And Grove: he's got some hops. We needed some bench production. Thank God for him, with JCJ not really avoiding foul trouble, but still coming in clutch

With 7 guys and two being freshmen, any win is gravy and great experience for the program. 25 assists on 28 baskets.

3 guys played all 40 and committed 2 fouls each.

Staying out of foul trouble is going to be vital with such a short bench. There are going to be some rough nights but awesome to see the squad get their first road win and even better with it being a conference game.
