These matchups...ugh!
By my count they are 4 of 5 on uncontested threes, so 3 of 6 on contested. Both very, very good percentages… but we should think about contesting more.Goofers will not shoot 7/11 from 3 in a half again this year. I know our D is lacking but, our opponents luck factor/slop factor has the be quadruple their norm when we play
The only question is, can we score 101?Lol minny gonna put up 100 on us
Rutgers is subpar this year. You prefer that we be a non tournament team?Other than Shannon and stretches of Amani, we have truly lost all “nastiness” on defense that we had in December. I’d rather watch a Rutgers brand of basketball than this if it means we make it hard for other teams to score.
And that MIGHT be bad luck! Or it might be our defense has become alarmingly bad … unfortunately, I think it’s the latter.From what I have seen of the Gophers this season, which is more than I expected, this performance is an anomaly. If they shoot 67% from the ard, the Illini are toast. Even so, we lead at the moment, so what do I know?
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 thisAt this point, is it?
Are we even mediocre?56% shooting from the field by both teams. Minnesota is going to be another team to shoot over 50% in the first half against us. We are just not an "elite" defensive team. Just mediocre.
