So glad we don't have to play these guys again...
So glad we don't have to play these guys again...
Minnesota is just "that" team that can literally beat any team in the country...or lost to half the teams in the country. So talented, if you get their best effort, you'll probably lose.
I really think that win on the road will be huge for Michigan down the road.
I'm not saying they're world beaters, but they're dangerous. And because they're going to lose to teams they shouldn't it makes it even worse. Losing to IU is one thing, they're the best team in the country. Losing to Minnesota really isn't that bad, but because they're going to lose 2-3 games they shouldn't it's going to look worse than it is.

Who's more deserving of the NCAA Tournament right now? Illinois or Minnesota?

They each have wins over each other on the other team's home court.
Minnesota has legit wins over Sparty, Memphis and Wisconsin.
Illinois has legit wins over Butler, Gonzaga, Indiana and OSU.
Illinois is in. I think Minnesota is in with a win tonight seeing their last 3 games are against the bottom dweller teams.
Go Blue! Always!

I feel like Indiana is being
I feel like Indiana is being super aggressive on the offensive end and is trying to match Minnesota's intensity.
Got to keep it close. Try to limit turnovers.
Here's hoping for a bright future. This team does try hard and I will continue to support them.
February 26th, 2013 at 8:51 PM |
Oh absolutely...
Oh absolutely...
Minnesota's not blowing IU out. If they win, it'll be Illinois 2.0
You hit it on the head...just keep it close and hope to have the ball at the end with a chance to win the game.

Eh, he's been left open a couple times. Bad thing to do with him on the court. But he's also created a couple shots himself. Not much can do with that. The guy's got such a deadly stroke that he's going to get himself some points.

Hipster Dan Dakich always tries to humble brag about how he knew every HS basketball player in the state of Indiana before they blew up.
"Cody Zeller was the same way back in High School, not willing to take over a game."
"I remember watching Glenn Robinson as a Sophomore in High School..."
Cool bro. Grab a PBR. Nobody cares.

He and Jimmy Dykes truly think they're the two smartest people in the world. I wish they'd join Cowherd on a ship and fly away forever.
