Probably the ugliest game for the Gophers this season, but in a year like this, I am going to take every win we get and enjoy it. Our defense was good though, as it has been all season. Rebounding, especially keeping Jacksonville off the offensive glass, was a concern though. Rebounding is going to be an issue through the Big Ten schedule, especially against teams with legit size (Purdue, Illinois come to mind).

Strong, resilient win against #22 UConn for a shot at playing #6 Baylor. Coughed up a 14 point lead towards the end of the first half and start of the second half then on to be down 7 with under 5 minutes to play. Hopefully we can get Max Christie out of his freshman yips. Also, cut down our turnovers in half which is always good to see.

Big 10 so far looks very young and very sloppy.

Gophers #1 in RPI, way better than Gonzaga bums at 35

mnvikingstwins · 11-30-2021, 11:56 PM

6-2 start vs acc

sportzluvr1 · 12-01-2021, 12:40 AM

Purdue is the real deal.

So far up 7-4 in the B10/ACC challenge. Also heard three of the losses went to OT.

texmcpherson · 12-01-2021, 11:06 PM

7-5

Michigan just got rolled.

texmcpherson · 12-01-2021, 11:38 PM

How old is Brad Davidson? 30?

Michigan will struggle this year. They look like an offensively challenged team when Dickinson is on the bench.

even when he’s playing.

they don’t have anyone to go get a bucket. no killers. and if you’re going to play two 7-footers, for god’s sake stop giving up offensive rebounds!

Marky Mark time is out in Maryland.
Great recruiter bad gameday coach.
Mark Few is only making about 2 mill a year at Gonzaga.
Maryland for sure could easily top that if they want the best name out there.

Can't imagine he'd leave Gonzaga for a middle of the pack p5, unless the legal limit is 0.16 or something in Maryland

Why would Mark Few want to start a rebuild in a tough Power 5 conference when he can stay at Gonzaga with a solidified roster and a cupcake conference every year? He has it made where he is

What rebuild? Maryland is a constant top team in recruiting. They just need a good coach for the kids.
I agree with the cupcakes but money talks. Dude is only making 2 mill a year at Gonzaga. Maryland could give him at least 5 if not more to lure him away.

Considering Gonzaga is consistently a top 3 program every year in the nation. It would be a rebuild for him. No reason for him to leave the situation he is in

Dielon · 12-04-2021, 08:09 AM

Last nights game against Purdue was about the best I could hope for considering the circumstances. They made a real effort at the end. I hope Keegan Murray is back for the next game.

He’s been there forever. If he wanted another job, he’d have one by now.

How many good programs (yes Maryland is one) have called? Duke and UNC wanted to keep it in house.

Lol mark few going to maryland.

Big game Gophers/Michigan St this week

CC_123 · 12-05-2021, 05:24 PM

HUGE win for the Gophers today against a really, really good Mississippi State team! This was a game we probably shouldn't have won, but it was a fun one to get! If you said we would be 7-0 at this point, I wouldn't have believed you. But we have one of the top defenses in the country so far, especially against the three. Only allowing 23.1% (top in the nation) from beyond the arc this season has went a long way for us so far!

Jamison Battle has also been a blast to watch. So happy that dude is only a sophomore. Once he sees one go in, he is about to see five more. He had a stretch to start the second half where he went 5-5 for 13 points.

Gonna be a tough one against Michigan State though. A game in which I fully expect to lose by 10+, but maybe coming off two straight Power 5 wins will give this squad some confidence.

Mark Few is good personal friends with Mark Turgeon. It aint happening. List is Oats, Mussleman, Enfield, Matta as top choices with worse case scenario Kevin Willard or Ed Cooley which as a Maryland fan I don’t want.
