I always thought they were grateful for letting so many white guys play the game of basketball. Practice what they preach. Equality and inclusion.
Give her a strap on and throw her out with the boys. Probably better than Erin Ulis.
Glad the Murray twins could get a singular win against us in their 3 years.
Was super impressive!
Sorry 
That was a great ****ing game. Not even mad we lost except it was to Maryland. I still like our chances this season
I’ll be happy if this team makes it to championship weekend. Don’t have the expectations that the team last year had
How ****ing dumb is the Minnesota Athletic Department for not going after Brian Dutcher? He has a clause in his contract where the buyout for Minnesota would only be $1 million instead of almost $7 million, for any other school, at the time of his extension. After this season his buyout for all other schools is a little over $4 million yet Minnesota is still $1 million. Not only that, Ben Johnson makes 600k more than him per year.
From the San Diego Union Tribune:
"There is one exception, however: The buyout is only $1 million for University of Minnesota.
Dutcher went there. So did his three sisters and his wife. It’s where his father, Jim, coached for 11 seasons between 1975 and 1986 and still lives.
“It’s my school,” Dutcher said, “where I went and was able to be part of that basketball program with my dad. But it’s still a buyout. It’s not like it’s free.”

Michigan are Big Ten hockey tournament champs once again. 2nd straight year of beating Minnesota on their home ice

Wisconsin was able to copy that roster makeup formula and lo and behold they started beating Iowa again.......

Btw, not sure if this was brought up already, but just to add a little insult to injury for Purdue, Fairleigh-Dickinson wasn't even their conference's champion...........
D1 newcomer Merrimack won the Northeast Conference by 2 games over FDU and then proceeded to beat them in the NEC tournament finals as well. But because they are still in the "transition" phase, FDU got to go to the tournament instead, and the rest is history...............

They’re closer to eastern Illinois than UMBC on kenpom. Embarrassing beyond belief bad.Btw, not sure if this was brought up already, but just to add a little insult to injury for Purdue, Fairleigh-Dickinson wasn't even their conference's champion...........

We really need Painter to lose to a 14 seed next year to make it complete
Big game for the Hoosiers tonight. Gonna be a tough one. Gotta keep their guards in front of us and make them shoot contested 3s.
I hate that I’m even saying this but this is an opponent made in a lab for Race Thompson to have a great game. He is finally looking healthier, so if he’s able to put up a comparable performance to what he did against Kent, IU should be in good shape. Miami doesn’t really have anyone who can guard Trayce, but they have one competent post defender who will do his best on TJD. That leaves a wing trying his best on Race and they need to make them pay for that
Also IUWBB plays Miami in the tournament tomorrow too. Super weird, but fück the canes this week
Doubling Trayce seems natural but if they put their top two defending bigs on him it opens Race up for a big day simply from the dump passes.
The right move IMO is to use your first and third best defending Big/wing and leave a competent defender on Race
Maybe you stop doubling TJD---make others beat you?
Big key in this game is not getting destroyed from three....Cannot have Miami hit 10+, while we struggle. So need to hit a few. Rebound better.
Good JHS/TJD, and I like our chances...Good opportunity for Race and Malik.
My point is that they don’t have a competent defender to guard race. They’re incredibly small and they’re not at defense. I wasn’t talking about the other “big” doubling Trayce. If / when they double Trayce, it’ll almost certainly be from one of our guards’ defenders. But IU should be able to take advantage of some Race post ups while using TJD as a decoy
I’m pretty concerned about Malik’s ability to play in todays game just from a defensive perspective. They’ll pick on him a lot.
They were an objectively pathetic team. I think kenpom 359 defensively before our game, 20-15 overall lolBtw, not sure if this was brought up already, but just to add a little insult to injury for Purdue, Fairleigh-Dickinson wasn't even their conference's champion...........

I mean they legitimately just didn’t defend our shooters.
It’s worse than UVA’s loss imo.
I could be wrong but I don’t think they even recruited him at all. They definitely didn’t offer him
Month ago I would agree....I think he has came a long ways. Those reaching in tendencies have seemingly went away...Not going for ball fakes as uch, and has been solid with the PNR, hedges, etc...Weird thing is, I think his perimeter defense has improved more than his interiror defense.
Then again, he's a freshman---SO who knows.
I do like this match-up for Race though. I just hope he doesn't marry that three point shot...You hit that first one---Ok. But do what you are best at...He's a tough guard in the middle.
We need Bates OR Galloway to show up today. ANd for the love of man kind---Need Kopp to hit that open three, EARLY.
Liberty is ready, Liberty is smooth, Liberty will take control and stick it into you, lolol
