[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1183170, member: 7292"] Jordan Murphy picked up two quick fouls, so Minnesota did not have any quality inside players and depth. Groce decided to go with Mav in the post and Finke at PF. Worked very well. It freed the perimeter and allowed Finke and Hill to play their natural position, which was effective. Once Groce went with that scheme (at 11:43 of first half), we went from 7 down to 5 up the rest of the half, outscoring Minnesota by +12. I would not go overboard with this win, however. Minnesota is a bad team, and Murphy's foul troubled were critical. And we still got a huge 3 from Nunn and got lucky with Minnesota missing the front end of 1-n-1 on the ensuing possession, all that just to force OT. Mav went for 35 mins when he averages less than 15. Huge gaps in our C/post depth this year and next. The real question is what is happening with Thorne. Looks like a repeat of the Black situation.
