    Not sure I follow, although total attendance is limited there is plenty "cheering" going on at the three games I have attended.

    Yes there is but you can only hear yourself. Sound is too spread out.

    Sure, but there are a lot of people who have paid for season tickets that would like to go. The people who've made the commitment deserve to go over someone who doesn't have season tix that's just the reality.

    I paid for mine again this year. Donated the entire amount to the team. Just would have liked for those who where in attendance to be able to have an impact by cheering.

    Did this really happen? I thought he was on the court the last 10 min.

    Watched the replay. Not only did he not re-enter until two min left but he

    Barely touched the ball in that time.

    Goodwin went to the bench at 9:17 left in the game yesterday and got to watch the rest of the team

    play better without him on the floor. I think it opened his eyes to the fact that he doesn't have to do

    everything for this team to win. He returned with 2 minutes left in the game and let the team play as a team.

    Leads the team in turnovers. 33 so for this year. Goes with his 33 assists.

     

    Needs a break during games to maintain his concentration.

    Tends to turn it over at the worst times.

    Jimmie Bell makes a basket and gets subbed out????

    Thoughts.

    GJ has to hit 3s that is why he played last year.  If he does not then he will find himself coming of the bench and staying in only if he produces.  Not sure what the deal is with his shot - the argument that the backdrop with no fans may be the cause - I am not totally buying.  There is nobody in the stands during practice.  He may just be rushing his shot for a number of reasons and one could be that teams are not forgetting about him.  Regardless, he has to figure a way to hit 3s or else he brings a lot less to the table.  Sophomore slump?

    The Bills over Minn by 1

    I was worried about this one....In preseason , I had this as one of our losses by about 6 pts.  But with the Bills good start we managed to not only close the gap but show a 1 pt advantage. Still....the model showed yesterday we only had a 51% chance of winning.  With that said, it still took an extraordinary circumstance of events for Minn to win this game. Let's start with the fact that at game time we were 3rd in the nation in 3Pt shooting. Yet we finished at 13% for the night...that translated into 4 more  3s we should have made (12 pts) enough to win the game. And Minn , one of the worst  3P shooting teams at 28%... shoots 40%...an extra three 3 pointers. (9pts) again, enough to win the game.  Put another way if the 2 teams have average night we win by 13 pts.  We can blame this on defense ...but to go from 44% to 13% is more than just defense.

    Let's pick this apart a little more....bolded text is from the original post.

    This will be our most difficult game of the year even though this is not the best team we will face or have faced....At this point, this is true.

    There are 3 reasons this will be a big challenge....#1...Road games are always hard to win in college basketball ..#2...1st road game...same as #1 reason  but more so ...many visiting teams miss the spread and wind up with closer games on the first trip away....#3  Minn plays better than most at home...Their home grade is an A-...Finally everything is harder in 2020 and basketball is no different. All the above factors will be exacerbated by our current environment. It is always hard to play road games ...this year more so.....Any one who thinks loud crowds cheering for their team is what home field advantage is all about....needs to rewatch this game.

    Stop Carr ...he is their main man....hold him to 17pts...Obviously this was true and it turned out to be a fail for the Bills as he wound up scoring 32pts ...any chance to make up some ground while he was out never materialized as he played 40 min.

    Their other scorers are Gach, Robbins and Kalscheur...hold this trio to 27 pts.....Again this was true as these were the Gophers next 3 high scorers and another fail as they scored 32pts together.

    Minn has 14 players...Lots of depth... right?...They have a great starting 5 (better than the report card)  ...after that things fall off rapidly. One of the keys to the game will be to wear down that starting 5 or get them into foul trouble..Their starters were better than the report card and none fouled out while we lost 3 of our starters. I do think Minn started to fade in the final minutes but it was too late.  Had they started to fade a few minutes earlier and we didn't lose starters,  we may have still been able to pull it off.

    Dominate the boards ...again...They get their share of Rebs but rebounding is not their thing.  ...win the Reb war by at least 7. ...This worked out as we did win it by 7...but not enough to overcome the 3Pt shooting outlier by both teams.

    .Bring the TOs down ...to 11....This also was a pass as we had 13....It was a pass because Minn had 20 TOs

    Which brings us to the bottom line...Minn broke one of my main rules ...when a team has 20 TOs , it is usually a loss. In order to have 20 TOs and still win , something extraordinary has to happen.  And it did .  We were super bad from 3 and they were hot at the same time from the arc. All teams have hot nights and cold nights...sometimes your cold night coincides with another teams hot night. And tonight that happened. The good news is we can still be an A+ team ...we can still be ranked ...and we can still make the tourney.  Very few teams go an entire season without a loss.  ...Even National Champions...This was a good game against a good team.  If we played them again in on their court we would still have a good chance to beat them.  The main take away was this was a learning experience and as a result of this game, we will be a better team going forward.

    No mention of the amount of FT's shot and made by Minnesota??!!!

    Paul Biancardi joins the podcast on Monday. We may be the worst podcasters ever because we couldn’t remember the name of the hotel Majerus lived at downtown, so I’ll apologize for that in advance. But it’s also a great interview, another one I think everyone will love.
