Actually shot a 3 with some flow/confidence.

This. If we had Joseph or Nolen we'd have beaten Indiana and (most likely) Illinois and we'd be looking for hotels for the sweet 16. Souhan is just trying to stir the pot. Tubby's record in his first five years was almost identical to his last five, but Kentucky fans are insane.

But at least they got it done yesterday. As poorly as they played at the start, turning it around in-game was nice to see.

If Mbakwe had Sampson's shooting range, he'd be lethal.

Probably the most physical inside guy they've had in ages.

ILL showed some real defense on the Gophs.

And Purdue put it on them, on their own floor. Superior defense and a good offense. JaJuan Johnson is a man among boys.

They always struggle early in the year with the brutal schedules Izzo has them play (and obviously it works in the long run; you can't argue with success). But this year feels different.

strugggle vs the good teams.

What's your guys' take on him at the U? Was it ALL him as the problem? Or was he hamstrung by other factors?

He was pretty good at Gonzaga and he's doing very well at Long Beach State now.

Thoughts?

And wis doesn't ever seem to be picked early, but once the Big 10 starts they climb the rankings. Maybe they just have such a soft early schedule. I never paid attention to that

Must have expected them to lay down and die

Come back and choke off the loss. SOS - Can't defend the 3.

Hoffarber, up one, fires a 3 - why? Was plenty of time.

Gophers after a time out, jag around the 3 point line, Hollins travels.

Gophers set up and throw the ball away.

Blech. This team is frustrating.

Against these "lesser"teams (HAH) They could just as well start Mav.

Hoffarber had a few really nice assists. That 3 try just makes me shake my head.

I disagree, having to put Hoffarber at point has hurt him and the team. His turnovers cost this team and his inability to penetrate with the dribble leaves little options for the half court offense. Sampson laid another egg tonight, and they let the only guy on Penn State that could beat them do exactly that.

Status: offline 		We shall see. Because if Nolen is as great and vital and wonderful as a couple people here think he is, we should have no problem winning the NIT title when he returns. After all, we are a Top 15 team with him, and and NIT team without him. We should hammer all other NIT teams when he returns. We'll see how it goes. That will be your chance to prove you were right and I was wrong.
