Well only down 3 at the half. Hopefully Richard will be right about the lack of depth of the Gophers bench. Thats why we need to keep driving to the basket and make them foul.
Depth doesn't matter in basketball. They play 7 guys and that is fine.Quote:

Now they are going to switch defense up on us, and shut us down with a simple, simple, simple 2-3 zone why we allow their guys open look after open look.
Battle not gonna let us win this game
Will we make an adjustment...... based on historical evidence.... no.
As long as we refuse to guard him, you are correct.Quote:

Wow. They open it up to 14. Good coaching.
Gonna get cucked by a middle of the pack BIG team after getting cucked by a mediocre ACC team. My enthusiasm for this team is fading fast.
How the hell do we have 12 to play and we are out of timeouts and down 14?
Nit here we come!
awful perimeter defense.
We are not going to be good in basketball are we?
Probably time for howland to settle on 8 players, and play them only.
Play like this and we won't even sniff the NIT/
Maybe have practice from time to time as well.Quote:

Got to win these games and build up the crowd. The fans are not going to show up, until you give them a glimmer of hope. 17in wrecking that glimmer time over and over again.Quote:

I dont know why I let myself get talked into somewhat believing we were. Howland is what he is at this point.Quote:

Pathetic effort being given.
Can someone take it inside and get to the basket? God dammit, 11 3rd pointer made.
At least they can appear to give a f56g on defense.
Why are we not in their grill at every single spot of the floor?Quote:
