and MN has outscored them in the paint. Just getting blistered from the field.  The Gophs can't buy buckets from the outside.

Purdue smart to let Nolen shoot 3s. Hoffarber hasn't looked comfy in the parts of the game I've seen. not getting feet set.

Unfortunately, we just don't have any scorers. Hoffarber is a shooter, but is negatable. Westbrook is good every 4th game and Williams is the only guy with a chance to grow into being a scorer.

MN has to be able to do more with opps they get. Can't have Bostick go 2-7


And Nolen 1-10. Wow. tough night for Al. Was hoping that outside shot was better.

Not enough from Westbrook either.

have to bounce back. Not enough time to feel sorry for themselves.

The Gophers use a lot of movement, but I don't see and picks or screens to give players like Hoffarber clean shots

Purdue had 44 FT to 25 for the Gophers. The officiating was terrible last night. Gophers get called for touch fouls while Purdue give body shots and not called. The last call on Westbrook should have been a jump ball. I could name a few other incidents, but that won't change toe outcome. The Gophers need that same type home field advantage when Purdue comes here

I hate blaming officiating, but it was ridiculous last night. Any contact under the basket was always a charge on us on offense or a blocking foul on us on defense. And Purdue plays just a swarming, mugging, physical defense that ends with a surprising lack of fouls.

But we need to stop having 6 and 7 minute stretches with no FGs.

Status: offline 		Last night the Gophers held there own on the road against a good team. But I did witness some calls that just weren't right. Westbrook called for a charge when the defender was still moving. The other was a intentional foul on the Gophers Cobb. He made a swip at the ball while the player was going to the hoop. I thought I was watching a womans game for a minute

Because we have no half court offense at all. None.

Status: offline 		One of the reasons I have had a real hard time getting interested in basketball is because of what was described above. The penalties all seem so arbitrary to me. It's like saying you can touch a guy with your left pinky, but not your right pinky, and then the ref makes the call in real time and makes the judgment about which pinky you used. And about 50% of the time he's wrong.

In most sports, the penalties and infractions are much more clear cut. That's not to say there aren't mistakes or close calls - but the calls in basketball are entirely too wishy washy and arbitrary for me to really enjoy the sport. I've been tuning in to the Gophers recently because I am excited about Tubby bringing a championship back to Williams Arena ... but it's frustrating as hell to watch.

Status: offline 		Royce WHite practices:


Royce White, last season’s Mr. Basketball in Minnesota and freshman forward for the Gophers men’s basketball team, practiced with the team for the first time in months Wednesday, according to multiple sources close to the program.


White, who transferred to Hopkins for his senior year after being asked to leave De La Salle, was suspended from the Gophers indefinitely after police questioned him following an on-campus burglary in mid-November.


The 6-8, 250-pound forward hasn’t played in any exhibitions or games for Minnesota this season.
White pled guilty to shoplifting and disorderly conduct after a Mall of America incident in October.


White’s grandfather, Frank, said White’s attorney, F. Clayton Tyler, told him last week that he expected his grandson’s legal situation from the on-campus burglary investigation to be resolved this week.

He's a kid who was walking around with his buds. Probably not a great idea, but IF he didn't take the laptop,

how can you charge a kid who is going around dorm rooms, and checking out the scenery, like other kids?
