That was rough. But its a long season fluke wins and losses happen. We snuck a W out at least. We all want this to be a quick fix but it takes time. Let's see how we look in the Sn Fran game and Stanford.

You two taking about Niko Medved or Ben Johnson? Your comments sound awfully familiar.

Here's the difference. Niko is in hist first year at a new school. He is adjusting to a more competitive level of play and establishing standards of play. Ben was continually adjusting and had no standards for his teams' play.

Both had the wisdom of Thorson.
 



Hopefully season trends like it did last year for Niko. CSU was 5-5 and looking not great, then really hit their stride and were a strong tournament team.

A team with 2 returning players...I'm willing to give the staff more time. I like a lot of what I see. They all need to just keep playing together.

They are going to have to figure out how to run their offense against zone defense. It seems to really kill the great action and movement in the Medved offense. We just don't have a big man threat underneath so it is easier for the zone to create perimeter pressure as well.
 

This game does not spell well for the Gophers once they reach Big 10 play. They have no shooting outside of Tyson. When they get in the paint, the players all hesitate too much to put it up. Instead it is a clutch the ball and who can I pass to.
This game should not have been close nor go into OT.
Isuma needs to get the ball more and encouraged to shoot way more.

It will be little remembered and long forgotten. All that matters is avoiding a bad loss.

🤔that is so unlike message board mentality that extrapolates one game into the whole season and maybe into entire careers of participants.

It’s game four of a new coach and a new roster. A bit of leeway is deserved for all. They are undersized and not very quick but I suggest well coached and will get better this year and hopefully grow. I have more confidence in this administration than the previous one.
 

I am an alum and long time season ticket holder. Towards the end of the game, there was a part of me that wanted to pull for GB (even though, in principle, I hate all Wisconsin teams). They were clearly the underdogs and played one helluva game. Let’s not forget that just three nights previously, they’d lost to St. Thomas by 20.

If this team shoots as poorly from 3 and from the line in the B1G, they will lose a lot of games no matter how many points Tyson scores. Exciting at the end, but brutal to watch. Once again, we have a starting point guard who is unreliable from the FT line.

Meanwhile, Nebraska defeats Oklahoma and scores 100 points while doing so. It’ll be a long season,

FWIW- Willis was a decent, not great 72% last year from the line- so maybe he gets that straightened out.

Nebraska was awful the first 25 minutes and trailed by 16. I'm afraid Oklahoma is not very good this year. I wouldn't be shocked if we beat Nebraska.
