Minnesota scored more points on us in them first half than they scored for a full game last night.
No Bo, no problem. Those bastards aren't going away. The reason they frequently finish in them top four of the conference, usually make it to the weekend in the conference tournament, and are Sweet Sixteen and beyond regulars is because they pack their defense on the bus and win ugly road games like this. And they've been doing it for over fifteen years. And I have to listen to it.

It's no secret, Alvarez wasn't happy about the way Ryan pulled the wool over his eyes a few years ago. But he said okay, I'll watch Gard closely and make an evaluation after the season.

Barry offered him an extension on the eve of that years conference tournament, which he has since extended again.
