I judged 1 thing about Pitino, didn't say he's a bad coach, but I would've sat Andre as much as he was struggling and visibly gimpy. In no way was I harsh. I agree they overachieved.



Playing for a chance at the tournament, I'd play my best players too, especially compared to the alternative.
No worries. I'm somewhat excited about the future of gopher bb. Wish i could say the same about the professional team.

Normally I'd agree about playing your best players, but he was obviously gimping and not hitting any shots. To be fair he didn't have anyone else hitting besides Mathieu, King, and Walker. Rest of them sucked. Smith and Austin H. needed to step up with Andre hurting.
I agree that future is brighter than it's been in a long time.

I agree that Dre had a really bad night. But, there aren't any other options. You're gonna have to ride with Dre and hope he hits some shots, because you turn to the bench and see Mav, McNeil, Malik and say "what difference does it make?"

Looks like Austin H. will get to play again in Williams Arena. If we can play hard and well, maybe making an NIT run will help get some momentum heading into next year.

BTW, I'm as big of a guy on showing sportsmanship as anyone and I'm a big supporter of Pitino. But I can't say I agree with him about his being pissed about the Wisconsin kid shooting a 3 at the end. They couldn't run out the clock, benchwarmers were in. Not a big deal, but you look a little bit out of control making a big deal out of it.

Tried to watch for awhile and had to just give up.
Looked like Varsity vs JV
We were simply smaller and weaker.
Our FB team is finally starting to get physically imposing at most positions.
Our BB team has to start working on the same thing.
Four of our five guys at times out there looked like starving teen-agers.
Cannot compete at the best level unless you are physically able.  



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/15/2014 12:41:58 AM)

Agree drew ... this group NEEDS to play in the NIT and get something out of it.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/16/2014 10:07:21 PM)

NIT
NIT
NIT

A top seed. Make a run of it.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 8:36:23 PM)

Completely different offense when Eliason is in there vs Mo Walker.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 8:37:51 PM)

Give me a recap, Ed ..
already got too many screens up [:D]

Up 11

Just got an intentional foul, Hi Point coach got t'd up
THey're not big inside, Mo feasts, Eliason struggles.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 8:44:00 PM)

6 point trip down the floor that time. Mav not playing too badly. Joey King playing ok. Others? not so much.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:05:28 PM)

18 points from Mav w/3:48 to go.

Not a misprint.



Dave E -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:14:26 PM)

Mav appears to be the only guy who wants to win. High Point is awful; Gophs should be up 30. Sloppity slop slop slop.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:14:33 PM)

Mathieu only 5 pts, sat after ramming his back into a cameraman on a hard foul.

No sweat, the legend of Maverick scores 21 points.

MN escaping w/an exhibition game win.

Not so much sloppy, as lackluster.

Dre Hollins, Austin Hollins didn't seem to show up for most of the game.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:17:46 PM)

King also played well in this one.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:19:03 PM)

High Point    hehehehehehehehehehehehe



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:20:46 PM)

What was the final score?

It would take too much digging to find NIT results.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:21:50 PM)

88-81 just over.

Bench had a big night.



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:23:41 PM)

I always liked Mav. Happy to hear he had a good game.

Did he get a lot of run tonight since it could have been his last game? Or most likely Pitino knew we could win this game with whoever playing, so he gave Mav one game to shine. I'm sure his role diminishes vs. better competition in Round 2.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:24:18 PM)

7 point win over High Point?   [:-]

Matthieu sat a lot. When he got hacked int he first half, he fell into the cameraman, defending himself, 2 knees in the back.

Gave up a lot of 3's in the final minutes. Not very good defense. but nothing new from this bunch. They defend the perimeter poorly.

Did so w/Tubby, do so w/Pitino.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/18/2014 9:27:31 PM)

They probably just need to hand that trophy to SMU and save everyones air fares.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/19/2014 8:40:35 AM)

Wow

Announced attendance at the Barn tonight: 3,493.



Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (3/19/2014 8:20:17 PM)

Per @GoodmanESPN, #Gophers have offered Tenn. St. transfer 6-8 forward MJ Rhett. Told Temple transfer Anthony Lee will aim higher than MN.
