Truly awesome having a freshman who you’re surprised when he missesKeaton's so freaking good.

Let me REPEAT that:Z needs more minutes …
Like what we got from Petro today …
AS continues to be a black hole offensively and atrocious on defense …
Didn’t think Wagler was elite today but he was good … Can’t always be elite …
Tomi missing those 2 bunnies at the end was absolutely killer … Have to be better than that …
Did Ben even play in the 2H ??
Hard to nitpick on a team that just keeps winning. Sure, I'd love Andrej to score more, yes I'd love Tomi to score a bit more too but not everyone can score 25 ppg every night. Also nice to see Petro get some productive minutes. If we unlock his ability to have a quick 6-0 run on his own in a game where we need one, this teams ceiling is so much higher.
Noticed Ben got stapled to the bench at some point in the first half.Z needs more minutes …

Was wondering this also, but looked it up and Tomi is a better FT shooter. That has to be why, right?Z was phenomenal. Why isn’t he in down the stretch in a tightly contested game? At least we didn’t give up layups.
Would love to know their 2pt FG% with Z in the game.Kinda crazy Minnesota ended up with only 67 points.
We did get better as the game went on. Got the ball in the middle more consistentlyHopefully we don’t run into Jim Boeheim and Syracuse in the tournament… we look about as competent against a zone defense as Andrej looks trying to get through a screen
But also, I L L
Hmmm...Kenpom begs to differFirst off Minnesota isn’t bad. Medved is going to build something there.

Ya but we don't play against it often and we still won by 10. Also statistically pretty silly to run a zone against a team with as many shooters as the Illini have. We saw why when they caught fire and stretched the lead at the end of the game.Easy to nitpick our horrendous zone offense …
Proud of Mihalo Petro for contributing finally. Hopefully we can get 5 to 8 minutes of good play from him. Keaton is amazing but frankly he looks under weather. Kid still scoring 18 points. Just special.Two very clear MVPs of this game:
Wagler: 17pts, 4reb, 5ast (all in second half), 1 TO
Big Z: 18pts, 9reb, 3blk, 2stl.
The thing about Z is that there's sooo many shots he alters but doesn't show up on the stat sheet. Teams just can't score inside the arc with him standing there.
12 years in Minnesota for me and I wholeheartedly agree about rodent fansI couldn’t start watching til late. Turned on the game and we went on the 11-0 run later in the second half. Coincidence? I think not.
I lived in MN for 15 years (back in IL now) so it’s nice to stick it to the Rodent fans
Yeah, needed offense and he wasn't providing.8 minutes today …
Can’t hit open shots then he’s gotta sit …
