Yep, Jeff. The perimeter shooting, outside of Hoffarber of course-who had a great game last night I should add, is atrocious.

Jim Frenette -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/14/2011 10:13:25 AM)
If Gophers had another outside shooter like they did last year in Westbrook, Hoff arber would see more open shots

It's nice to see the Gophers finally get a signature win within the conference. I'm used to knocking off one top 10 team in the preseason and hoping it is enough for the selection committee.

Anyone watching OT of the Northwester-Michigan State game? What was NU doing there???? Down by 2 with the ball....they passed the ball around, burning the entire shot clock, and threw up a 3-pt prayer airball with 10 seconds left on the game clock. Worst strategy I've seen since.........oh, the end of the Gophers-Ohio State game. Why do teams do this when they are behind in the last minute?

It's effective in making most possessions worthwhile, but it is not designed to prep you for a last shot type of situation.

Marcus Fuller: One of these days I would like to see a small lineup with Williams at the four and Mbakwe at the five. Hollins at the three. And just run.

David Levine -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/16/2011 6:11:43 PM)
Wow. It took all of 3.5 minutes for Iowa to totally erase an 11 point halftime lead.

David Levine -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/16/2011 6:47:10 PM)
Gophers are 21-0 when Sampson blocks at least 3 shots. He has 6 so far tonight.

Mr. Ed -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/16/2011 7:26:13 PM)
Played to the level of their opponent. Lucky to not have that cost them. Very stale 1/2 court offense.

Jim Frenette -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/17/2011 3:15:41 PM)
Watching Hoffarber run around trying to get an open shot, then watching a pro game where we always see a guy on the wing free for a 3 pt shot made me think Hoff might have a decent pro career. Not as a starter, but coming off the bench

Big game for the Gophers. An opportunity to get a conference road win. Will Pete be in attendance?

A very good friend of mine has a big music recital tonight, and I didn't feel like saying, "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm going to a basketball game instead." Oh, well. I'll do what I normally do when I can't catch a game live -- DVR it, answer no phone calls from family/friends, and watch it later that evening. [8\|]

The only time I can remember those loyalties conflicting was in the 2004 women's Elite Eight (and, along with my home state loyalty, I had a crush on Lindsay Whalen, so I was cheering for the Gophers).

panndder -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/22/2011 4:10:39 PM)
Music majors are weird. I had little hope for Pete before I knew that fact. [;)]

twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/22/2011 7:50:24 PM)
Gophers clearly a better team. Let's finish them off. And I don't care what the announcers try to tell me. I prefer this team when Nolen is not on the court.

SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/22/2011 7:58:56 PM)
Mildly surprised. Thought we may take a step back tonight in AA

SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/22/2011 8:04:41 PM)
Gotta win some B10 road games. Tonights a start in that direction.

panndder -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/22/2011 8:06:08 PM)
Nolen is not the point guard of all point guards, but he is vital to this team. Then again Hoffarber is an okay ball-handler these days, always has been a good passer, and he's not one to create his own shot anyways.

David Levine -> RE: Gopher Basketball (Mens) (1/22/2011 8:45:19 PM)
How is it possible for a team to have 11 rebounds in 40 minutes? They had 2 starters that didn't grab a single board in a combined 52 minutes.
