Coach will need to make some defensive adjustments.
We need to double them in the paint, they are backing us down however they want.

If we have gave up 80+ points on defense in 5 out of the last 6 games. Brad Underwood clearly needs to make lots of changes because whatever he is doing is clearly not working.

Rutgers is subpar this year. You prefer that we be a non tournament team?

Not literally Rutgers, but I might be in the minority in would rather us be the 4th team in the country defensively and 62nd offensively rather than the other way around. I enjoy watching our guys take pride in getting stops and grinding games out in the 50s and 60s. We feel delicate because we know our offense is good, and all it takes is one awful shooting night to get blown out in the tournament.

Not really disappointed in Illini play overall at either end. Energy is there and turnovers, only 2, are a huge plus. Minny is making shots our of their mind while Illini are executing offense and taking good shots. Inquiring minds would not expect the Gophers to stay hot for two hours. Just like to see our guys continue to play with energy and efficiency.

Love me some DD tonight!!! Might have to give Pru and friends a visit.

Yeah it is. You can disagree, but they've made 4 that are heavily contested. Teams don't shoot 67% from 3 when they're wide open. Minnesota isn't getting all that many wide open shots. For example, we're shooting 42% and most of ours have been wide the hell open. Gotta give Minnesota credit for some of this
I will disagree. This paragraph has been written by various posters every game for the last two months. You think teams aren’t coming in with extra confidence due to this defense?

I stopped that torture. BB and Deon on the feed is the way to go.

Torture? Lmao. Y'all got any more of that anti Bardo drama?

Don't think I have ever seen a half where both teams have a combined 3 TO's. Both teams not very good defending the ball.
