"Secret" scrimmage against Colorado State

Donate To GopherHole


well, I guess it isn't a secret anymore.

this is one I just don't get. if you want to have a private scrimmage or a closed scrimmage, fine. Just don't call it a secret scrimmage. because it's not secret.

how about a "media keep the f*ck out" scrimmage. I think that has a better ring to it.
 

In this case, there’s quite a bit of familiarity. Johnson, Thorson, Medved, Farokhmanesh, so guessing it will be run smoothly.

It seems like a golden opportunity for a "Donate $100 to the NIL fund for a secret link" opportunity. But the NCAA would probably love an opportunity to show they're still in charge of something.
 


Scrimmage is today, anybody know what time we can expect feed back on it.
 




Nothing on the official Mens Basketball Twitter thread.

gophers lost by 4, if that matters

Battle did not play. Coach Johnson kept him out.

Garcia played less than half the scrimmage and was dominant. He nailed a lot of 3's and had a lot of rebounds.

Ben played mostly the freshman, to see what they had. They put up good offensive numbers, but maybe struggled some defensively.

Henley struggled.

Payne is a load and played great. He scored in double figures and only missed one shot.

This from a source on another site.

I like Ben’s approach as reported…and the result is perfect. Competitive but plenty of stuff to improve upon . Losing , they are more likely to listen better.
 

We are now 10 days away from the St Olaf
public opening first look at our Gophers team.
 

Henley struggling would be the one concerning note. from what I've heard from podcasts and other sources, Henley is expected to see a lot of playing time - maybe even be a starter.

we'll see how he looks in the early non-conference games.

And only 15 days from the first game.

All these new guys who are freshman, and Garcia.......damn, I can't wait.
 

I'd pay good money to glean the boxscore! Hopefully, we will hear some more commentary on the scrimmage this week.

Cooper and Samuels are going to be important to this team and probably starters.
 




@kg21 looks like the go to guy for all your in-depth news.

I've been saying it for a few months, but if Henley and Samuels are playing big minutes and/or starting at the 2, we are in a lot of trouble at the guard position.
