I was always impressed with how patient he was in Big10 games and let the game come to him. He never forced things but still ended up with 20 points. Exactly the type of guy this team, with their unselfish nature and passing needs. Now if we can get Stoj to occasionally look up while driving...

He has got to work on tightening up his handles too in the offseason...

It was cool of TSJ's old coach from Texas Tech (Beard?) being at his draft party too.

This picture cracks me up everytime I see it. It screams "my Mom and Dad made me come here, can I go home now!" If this was another school visit we would be busting on them... :)

We need a back up PG and I thought he would be a good fit, wondering why he left. I like what he brought in limited minutes last year as a spark plug. The only thing that he doesn't provide is a strong defensive presence.

Totally agree with this. I understand everyone's perspective about the ideal offense being threes and at the bucket. What I was trying to express was we have a great asset in Ty who does everything right except shoot the ball - how do we maximize his effectiveness? It's a stretch turning him...

IMO 3 point shot is likely a pipe dream, he really just needs a reliable mid range jumper. He can get by his man regularly but then his only option is to take it all the way to the rim. Defenses know that and help, which is why his conversion at the rim is challenged. If he can hit an elbow...

Gotta add the GIF of the girl in Illini shirt screaming "F#&k Ya!"

same one that almost beat us this year too... I think he is a huge upgrade from Howard...

agree on Boswell, athleticism to break down defender, create and score at basket are the only things that give me a concern. We need someone that can create in the half court. That being said he is a big upgrade at primary ballhandler that we have had for some time.

So Garrison is no longer an option? Bummer, I liked his rounded game Off & Def. best of everyone we have been talking about.

Boswell?

I see Boswell as a definite upgrade on PG from what we have had for several years. Quality handles, distributor, solid 3 pt shot and good defensively. That said he reminds me a lot of Skyy in that he doesn't have explosiveness towards the basket nor good finishing ability. I see him as a good...

That is brutal, the Gophers were on the verge of being good next year and it might all unravel... I feel bad for Ben, I like him as a coach

Obviously the last few minutes were frustrating. What I couldn't believe was Justin Harmon lost his man for backdoor layups at least 5 times during the game. I don't get it, any of the freshman could have done better than that. It really hurt when Ty got in foul trouble because we looked...
