And blame for not defending opponents cutting to the basket from the baseline falls on Pitino....over and over, and nobody stopped them....sad, as it was a very winnable game!!

Made good adjustments on the kid who scored 25.

Only adjustment he could make to the back-door cut would be playing guys who can play defense.
Morris got pulled. He plays very little "good" defense, and neither King, nor Buggs box out much.

A lot of fundamentals being missed.

And who controlled the pace of the game?
Not the Gophers who are playing in THEIR house!
OS controlled the way the game was being played, and the Gophers could not counter it!
Lots of work to do....especially, if you cannot win at home!

Status: offline 		The silly turnovers are what really bother me.

Give it to Walker and you run a 50% chance of him shooting off-balance, or turning it over. Give it to him in the middle of the lane and the turnover probability skyrockets. Why pass it in there with 2 other guys around?

Matthieu is either very good or very bad. There is little in-between.

King passes up the open 3, a couple of times, and only shot one after passing it up, IMO, because nearly everyone in the barn was screaming for him to shoot it.

He made it. Not your super-star scorer, but fairly accurate. Should have taken one at the top of the key late.

Status: offline 		I'm also wondering, didn't we have a timeout left to take at the end of regulation after OSU missed the layup? Instead King dribbles a couple times and launches one from beyond halfcourt with about 3 seconds left on the clock. I was honestly afraid there was time left on the clock for one more OSU possession. That was a great opportunity to win the game in regulation if they had kept their heads about it and/or called a timeout (if one was available?).

Since conference play started, King has been hesitate to shoot anything, much less the 3. I'm Wondering what's going on.

Can't protect the ball
Can't shoot free throws?

It's incredible

The way they handled the 1-3-1 zone, every team in the Big 10 will use it. The Gophers aren't shoot good enough from the perimeter.

Reusse: Gophers must trade 'bawling and crying' for toughness
With this much experience and with Nate Mason providing pizazz as a freshman for the Gophers, there’s no excuse for an 0-5 start in the Big Ten
