I think we can guarantee we won't finish 306th in FT % this year.

Progress!!!

What this game lacked was the announcing crew of Tony and his girlfriend on the Big+. I need a good laugh and that crew was a special bunch.

I watched the replay of that game in part to hear them again.

A win is a win. USC Upstate is a little better than I thought and we had moments of really bad basketball. That said, we win by 14 despite awful shooting.

CBJ’s rotations scare the sh!t out of me, but im hoping that is just experimenting with a lot of new players.

Carrington just isn't impressive to me. Good rebounder.

Seems good on D and is a good rebounder.

On the offensive end hosting 3s shouldn’t be his thing.

That was a really bad team

Lost decisively to South Carolina on the road. Lost to Vanderbilt on the road by 7. Beat East Carolina on the road by 2. Not that bad.

83.3% free throw shooting tho!

A good free shooting team will win close games.

Funny thing is I checked at the time and we were shooting over 45%.

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll see it again from other posters during other games.

This was a good game for the Gophers to have. They struggled with making shots, but they locked in on the defensive end and won. We will have these kinds of games. This is a good win.

Let the negative Neddy's commence to bitch.

Did you just open this thread?

I didn’t think they were bad, but what do I know? Happy for the win. Turned it over too much at times. Shot weakly behind arc overall. There is a LOT of good players on some of these teams. Man, I’m just happy to grab a win after the other night.

SCUP is terrible. They'll be 250+ on Kenpom by end of season. So many apologists on here. We are likely playing the lousiest teams in D1 trying to get some W's before we get smoked in conference play

You think im a CBJ apologist because I didn’t think USCUP was as bad as I thought they were going to be? Lol. Okay.

That was a really bad team. There's not a lot of positives other than the 'W'. I'm actually more convinced that we might only win a couple Big Ten games this year

The B1G looks terrible though. I still think they'll win 5-6.

I agree, nice to win with such a terrible 3pt shooting day. They have depth this year which should help them in the B1G. They won't run out of gas like they did last year. Cut down on turnovers, get more aggressive on defense, reduce the bad shooting days and they shouldn't be that bad.

Have to get Payne more involved, he needs to be good, sure would be nice if Carrington would hit a three, he does so many things well but not sure they can withstand his offense the way he has been playing.

Battle was on the big ten ad. He said something like ‘OSU is everything’. Grayyyyt.

The fans were awake. Someone finally woke up the team and that was Fox.

We just played a school that no one had ever heard of in front of ~1000 people. We were up by 5 at the final tv timeout with ~3:30 to play. Who is this for? The fans? The players? The potential recruits? I'm a former season ticket holder who struggles to even watch this product. I can imagine a potential recruit watching this shit and saying, yep that looks like a great program.

Gophers played better than you post.

Well, well, well. If it isn’t the guy who didn’t post in this thread during the game.

There is no motion in our offense. None. Right now it depends on how well we shoot threes. Entry passes are difficult because of the lack of movement.

We have some talent but there is no alpha dog, no guy who puts the team on his back when the chips are down. The talent is pretty level with the better athletes being young except for Hawkins who is a terrific athlete, just real small.

On defense we are so easy to drive to the hoop on.

Well, you provided your own resolution. Don't put yourself through this by watching the Gophers for the rest of the season. You'll be happier and so will many of us. A win for all!

Does it surprise you that he never goes zone? Just a change of pace occasionally.

It wasn't pretty but there is one notable achievement in this game: this is the first game this season where the team significantly increased their lead in the second half. Had a two-point lead at half and a 14 point lead at the end of the game.
