Don't think it's a good idea to talk down to your opponents but what do I know.

Retweet to Mbakwe please. Don't retweet to our shooters, he'll probably get in their heads.

1500: UCLA's Wear says handling Mbakwe shouldn't be 'that big of a problem'

"He's big. He's going to be a challenge, but if I force him off the block I don't think he'll pose that big of a problem compared to some of the of the other guys I played against in the PAC-12," Wear said Thursday during UCLA's new conference at the Frank Erwin Center.

"I've been playing basketball long enough and I've played with the best. I could care less what he says," Mbakwe said before the Gophers late practice session on Thursday. "I know there is going to be a lot of pressure. He has a lot to say. We'll see tomorrow night ... I don't really put much into it. I have enough motivation as it is."

"They don't shoot the ball particularly well, which means it's going to be a lot of misses," Wear said. We need to box them out. We need to go get the ball and not leak out early in transition."

"We'll see what he has to say about that after the game tomorrow," senior Rodney Williams said.

Amelia blog: Gophers notes: Travis Wear has some smack talk for Trevor Mbakwe

Told about the comments afterward in the locker room, Mbakwe just shook his head.

“I don’t need any extra motivation,” he said. “Whatever he has to say, it really doesn’t matter to me. It’s a good chance for me to go out and play against him and his brother. I’m not really putting that much into it, I could care less. Hopefully they don’t trap – that will be the real test to see how they feel about me.”

This is great. I didn't buy that this team would play for it's coach, but I do buy that they might come out with some fire due to Wear's comments. I never worry about Mbakwe's effort level, but if this motivates Rodney Williams...

Wear is just telling the truth in regarding the shooting, but if I were him, I wouldn't have said the things that he said. I have a feeling that there could be a fire building rapidly in Minnesota due to these comments! Use it as fuel gophers! And he wont want to be a victim of an outraged Mbakwe... We know how that ends (Zeller)

An inflamed Mbakwe. Not sure there's a treatment for that.

If it's possible to ignite the green wood that is Rodney's ass, I hope this does it.

Play within yourself please...

That was my thought, don't get him too motivated or he'll have two fouls in the first 5 minutes.
