Ouch, poor Gophers.

I was a skeptic last year, now a huge fan. He's no good for carrying the team when things are bad. But great at making the team better overall. And truly exceptional at feeding the post. Best I can recall anywhere. Would I trade him for any of the best 25 players in the B10? Of course. But...

It was the right call. And there shouldn’t be a suspension. I watched that whole game waiting for the grabbing defense we saw from OSU last week. It wasn’t there, because MD doesn’t prioritize motion and generally shoots rather than slashes. Should be a fascinating B1G tourney...

The podcast leads off with "passes the rock, constantly bricks threes, and after he hacks you raises his hands and says no foul no foul...". I thought it was some pretty rough shade for the upcoming guest.

it is a weakness. Our defensive rebounding almost lost us the game against Minnesota in the first half. We played a lot more man tonight which I thought had shored things up- surprised to hear the margin was still that bad. Kriener and Pemsl often watch the ball rather than find a body. JW...

Minnesota totally silenced JW by holding. Garza will get pounded nightly. You're right that it sucks but that is the reality that needs to be adapted to. Garza has adapted and thrived (though he gets some major screw calls against him at times). JW needs to find a way to be offensively...

Good points really. Wiezy struggles against the grab and hold defense. Having CJF back and hitting could be huge. Keeping Luka out of foul trouble is crucial. Iowa with full strength CJ is probably the better team. Honestly we can win this one. If we're truly only given a 19% of winning...

Same old story- the coach is never as bad or as good as we think. It's a good year, well, Garza. I like Fran and want to have him stay but have no fascination that somehow he's doing a better job this year.

The guy is a machine. It'll be a ton of fun to have him back next year.

Nope, they're still NCAA bound. But it's sweet to have owned them start to finish tonight.

I Right, I get that. I was trying to make reference to our last four star and overall impact/productivity. TC produced like a four star and helped us win many games.

I don't see it happening. Like you mention, it comes down to whether Patrick is the real deal or not. Tyler Cook was a four star. Can Patrick give us TC level contributions? I'd be shocked if so. JT, CJF, CMac will all be better for another year. But that team would be short both...

PSU take: if Wiesy gets back on track we win. If not we lose.

No, it clearly helps the seed, maybe by 1 slot over the same resume with a loss in this game. A quad 1 win is important.

Best minute distribution for this group: Joe T- 40 Wieskamp - 40 Cmac - 40 Kriener - 40 Garza - 40 Evelyn for foul trouble and injuries.

The OP is more or less correct in terms of last night's game. Wieskamp is an excellent bball player but did not have a very good game last night. We needed someone to step up and he finished with a very mediocre 16 points. That was the kind of night when you need your #2 guy to get 25-30 and...

Stanley is a great kid and a great Hawk. A couple nuggets to me: - the "Hawkeye challenge" offseason program. Sounds brutal and amazing. - Brian is a smart dude. Ok, I'm open to the idea. - Players liked GDGD, he was a good guy. I'll forgive him I suppose. - I'm glad the players and...

UNI is 54, 36 and 36 in Sagarin KenPom and NET. Pretty good chance they end up a couple spots higher than 11 with a conference tournament win.

Again, I think the comparison thing is needless hand wringing. JBo provides excellent 1 play in terms of ball protection and getting into the offense. He doesn't penetrate. JT penetrates and makes more TOs. JBo is one of the best shooters in CBB. JT is a better defender. Both are more...
