No team should be as reliant on one player to play good ball though. This team has plenty of talent and should attack the paint whether Tomi plays or not.

There’s no excuse for the performances vs USC, Maryland, Nebraska, and Rutgers. That’s all on the coaching staff

Look I don't think they are top 5 picks. They get their pocket picked by 8th grade ballers. Talent is most definitely there. If they do get told top 5, go. It a guaranteed 4 year contract 30-40 million. God bless and God's Speed! They simply cannot pass that up. Let's get stronger and finish the season on a high note. I've been broken down to cheering for health and no flu's/ colds.
🙏 pretty please!

Of course Brad would kill my optimism with this terrible take- basically saying we went inside because that's what Minnesota gave them... I want to hear specifically that we went inside for post looks and attacked the rim because THAT IS OUR TEAM'S STRENGTH.

I agree with your sentiment here, but I also doubt you can take much of what Brad says at face value when he’s talking to the press.

Tonight, I thought (hope!) it was pretty telling with how few 3pt attempts we had, especially in the first half. (And 1 of those 6 attempts was KJ from beyond half court as the half ended.)

Guys played well, and we're still not healthy. Riley having fun with some ridiculous buckets. KJ had a couple of those too. Overall shades of earlier in the season, which made me smile. I know Minney isn't high level competition, but they passed the eye test today.

He does more often than not. On a team with serious star power, having a guy who knows his role, executes it well, and gives 100% is vital. He's an everyday guy.

Davis has bought into his role … Earlier in the year, I thought he was looking for his shot a little too much but he’s really settled in …

I am becoming a fan of Davis … Knows his role … Accepts his role … Doesn’t cost a fortune … Program guy …

Hate to bring the bad news but Kylan has an injury …

Will know more in terms of the extent of it once we get back home …

Ankle? Hip? Knee? Hopefully one of the first two 😬

Edit: Unlikely anything with a knee as they'd at least have him not putting weight on it even just walking

From what I’ve been told it’s more of a re-tweaked ankle … But he was really struggling with it post game …

Fletch & Paul will work with him and get him right …

Tre White health update?

I didn't necessarily specify physical health, either. So...

I don't know this arena beyond the raised court. Not sure what you mean here, could you explain a bit further?
Clear cealing above the court. Fans lay on their bellys looking down through the ceiling floor. Charge extra for the experience. Sell them drinks with extra long straws so they don't have to sit up and stop watching the game for a drink. I'm working on a patent for it now.
