Agree. He had a lot of tap out offensive rebounds. As always, great hustle. The kid is going to be important moving forward. Loved his smile after the bank in 3 towards the end.

There were about 5 buckets made because of fundamental screens and seals that Grayson made off-ball. He will get nothing in the stat book for those things, but they were essential to getting a made basket. He was fun to watch. Great hustle and effort with the intangibles.

Completely agree. Kid is going to be special. May or may not get the stats, but do all the ugly stuff that makes the wins.

We had 5 fouls with about 15:00 left in the game and ended up with 6. I expected Oregon to make about 20 FT's in the 2nd half with the way the B1G refs have been calling 2nd halfs.

I noticed it was 5-0 with just over ten minutes left

Called the next 7 on Oregon
 




I'm not predicting but we could win 7 or 8 Big Ten games...all things considered that'd be epic!!
An I don't believe it...how? how did they do that? are you sure?
But, It could happen.
 

Gophers first conference win by 15 plus points since a February 19 2022! home win over Northwestern 77-60. I believe we won 2 conference games by double digits in Ben Johnson's 4 year tenure.

Grayson Grove was the MVP of the game to me. It's a shame we didn't take advantage of the offensive rebounds he provided. He made so many plays defensively and they seemed to come at key moments like when Oregon would be down 5 and have a chance to make it a one possession game. For him to outplay Bittle was totally unexpected.

Durkin made probably the biggest shot of the game when he hit a 3 after the lead evaportated.

Play of the game (on the Gophers side, we won't talk about the other one) was the Kai Shinholster dunk! I had no idea he had that in him. Might have been Kai's best game of the year to the point that I wasn't sure I wanted Langston back in for the last 3-4 minutes (but Langston was good in the closing stretch).

Ugly game most of the way, but that's the way it has to be when you have one post player available and like 7 guys total.

3 home games left, win 2 and that gets this team to 7 conference wins. For a team as short handed as this one is that would be pretty damn impressive.

I'm currently in the mountain time zone, so I might make it. So, while both offenses have been pretty bad, you gotta give credit to holding a home team to under 20 in 20 minutes on their home floor. I think somebody once said, " While offense can come and go, your defense should always be there" or something like that.

I think that was Anthony Edwards.

Couldn't stay up to watch the game last night, but nice to see we crushed them!

I couldn't either. For me, start time at 1030 and I wake up at 330, I couldn't swing this one. But glad we got it done on the road. And without JCJ. hope he's healthy next game
