The initial thread is longer than long...the officials are badder than bad.

Hats off to the Gophers, nice play...better execution. I like that we're switching screens by the guards. They just made a big play. We've gotta kill time, get a good shot.

Trey played a great game...had a little freshman slip up in the postgame interview, but I chalk it up to nerves and exhaustion. Also it was too many questions, I'm sure he just wanted to get a shower and a bed at this point.

Along those same lines...I think OT may help us a tad. It sends the Ohio game deeper into the night. Then they have to turn around and play us (assuming they win) at 4pm tomorrow.

He answer that question quite well...he said he was being predictable so coach Jordan told him to "Bingo" it and fake the pick and roll and take it to the basket and he was surprised at how open the lane was.

Nothing wrong with that. And even the other one, it was kind of a "cringe" moment, but you know he didn't mean it. Just not used to the interviews quite yet...especially after playing every minute of regulation and overtime.

He accidently threw Beilein under the bus, lol.

He got confused by Gary Williams' question which was something like "you guys really slowed them down in the zone, tell us about that."

And he responded with something like "Yea, we started off in man...then switched to the zone and they took a lead. They were playing well and making shots. In the huddle we kept asking to go back to man but the coaches kept us in zone and we got behind."

You can never tell what Burke is thinking, but I know he didn't mean it like that. I'm sure he may have thought it, but I think he was just confused and kind of tired of answering questions. It was like question #6 as his sat on the B1G Set (after he'd already been interviewed on the floor). He just looked like "someone get me out of here, I'm tired, I want my team and I don't wanna talk anymore."
