1-11 on 3's and they win going away.

LaSalle did them a favor playing man. MN is pretty competent in man offense.

Improve the 3's. That should be the goal of this bunch. with some BIG help, could be fun next year.


Looked like they were playing in a HS gym. Depth perception had to be terrible for them on the 3's. We know they have better shooting then tonight

Rodney Williams is finally showing his NBA potential. The kid is as athletic as any player to play at the U. This is good experience for the young kids, especially Andra Hollins. I have hope for Joe Coleman, but he needs to become less turnover prone and learn to shoot the medium range jump shot. He has good defensive skills and he's a decent rebounder. Eliason will be a much better player next year, he needs to cut down on the stupid fouls, but he plays hard and has a knack for blocking shots.

Miles is certainly one of the (few) guys I'd definitely look at if the time came, but for all of his faults firing Tubby would be akin to welcoming chaos into this program. The "if Tubby can't win there, who can?" mentality would be hard to shake nationally, I think.



You are probably right Panndder....I get impatient. But I really think Tubby has lost the fire in his belly. It is really tough to maintain that over time....especially if you essentially start over. Coach K can maintain it since all he has to do is reload each year. The program sells itself these days.

But keep your eye on Miles if you are the U of M.

Normally, it can be bad going "home" per se. But in this case, the guy wins where ever he goes. No, the U of M is not his alma mater but he is an upper midwest guy. But he has left and is winning in a tough place to win. (nice place to go to school.....Ft. Collins is awesome). CSU was a hole in terms of BB. He has turned them around in 5 years.

And he was successful at NDSU in their transition years.......went into Madison and knocked off the Badgers....the program he established enabled NDSU to win the Summit league tournament their first year post season eligible.

And, he coached at Mayville State and was successful. Trust me, winning at my undergrad alma mater is no small feat.

What, no smsu props?
Like I said, he turned this program into a winner
Not easy to do here.


You handled that nicely in one of your previous posts. Didn't want to be redundant.

He was great at Southwest.

I seriously doubt the U will dump Tubby.

I'm actually hoping they do ok, and he bails, then they could pursue and up-and-comer like Miles.


More likely they will guarantee several more years of futility by hiring Flip.

BTW, we are really missing Ralph.

Isn't that something. I think they keep getting better each game without him.

He can be frustrating to watch, but he's a talented asset to this team.

Ball goes into Ralph in the post.

Ball movement comes to a complete halt.

Ralph goes 1-11


Ralph uses up 2-3 fouls in first half.

Sits

Pouts

We suddenly look like Woodens UCLA Bruins.
Un-beatable to this point tonight.
Even when our offense bogs down, we still hit the leaners and prayers.
Everythings working.

Confidence.

Williams is getting to see more man-man. Kid can play. Work on that J and he could be good next year.

ZONE MN

Sheesh don't these schools scout??

And that's amazing to me. Maybe it's because the U looked so "close" in a lot of games, yet didn't finish, I wasn't
that impressed with the conference.

I heard some commentators saying it was the toughest conference in the nation, the best, etc.
I had my doubts. Still do.

Except now they're kicking around a lot of other schools in the postseason.

The overall competition of the league certainly looks better now.
4 into the Sweet16?  Pretty damn impressive.

I know where this was all year.

Throw it in the post
Watch ralph fiddle around
Miss the jump hook


now they're moving it around so much quicker on the offense...MOST of the time.

Andre Hollins is maturing very quickly

Maybe I have a skewed view of me.
