Next 6 games............

[Gopher]

..........are we looking at 1-5? This team is not NEARLY as good as we would believe. I'd bet good money we see the NIT. There are still guys playing who don't belong on a Big Ten roster. At least next season, we'll see no JAS, Bush, and probably very little of Hoffbarber. I don't care if you say he's just in a shooting slump, he's a one-dimensional baskeball player. A specialist. Just watch as his playing time gradually deacreases. I just hope someday we can actually make the NCAA'S anbd be a legitimate top 25 program. This rebuilding bs has gone on for a full decade. The team MUST take the next step next season, period.

Yeah, obviously this team has A LONG way to go yet. But I'm not going to say we have a bunch of guys that don't belong in the Big Ten and that maybe someday we'll be decent. We're still 17-3 and 5-3 in the league, which is upper half. It's just that these guys are making the same dumb mistakes game-after-game, which I think can attributed to being young and not having played together a whole lot before this year.

I agree, the next few games are going to be really tough, but lighten up man. They'll learn and benefit from the tough going right now down the line....

[jags1998]

Bush? Hoffbarber? OK, I'll lay off the spelling but yes we will have more depth next year - but let's not be so quick to assume to ship is sinking. I like our chances to win 3 of next 5 which puts us at 20 wins.

[ShowinGoldyLove]

Bush? Hoffbarber?
Just shows really doesn't know what he is talking about; or at least doesn't follow the program too closely.

[gopher7]

troll.

"Gopher" = Iowa troll (aka Pantherhawk, waituntilnextyearagain)

He's been banned at least twice before.

Agreed. Don't feed the trolls!

Or he has a third grade level education...

Not to quibble but isn't saying he is an Iowa troll and he has a third grade eduction redundant?

Go Gophers

10 games remain.
5 wins and 5 losses puts them at 22-8
Pick up a win or 2 in the Big Ten Tourney and that WILL get us in the Big Dance.
What is important is that the team not flame out as the end of the season nears.
The NCAA looks at how you finish the season more than how you start, and you
don't want to approach Selection Sunday on a downhill slide.

[Goldy74s]

Why don't we whip ourselves into an orgy of frustrated expectations so we can destroy the planet and start all over?

Or, why don't we enjoy winning a game in the Big Ten on the road.

[Moonlight]

Exactly, Goldy74s. While many are busy lamenting, the fact is that this would have been a terrible loss (BUT wasn't!) and may help to shift our momentum and focus in the right direction for the Illinois game.

[combes1]

I am glad you won today. As an Illinois fan, I would not want to face Minnesota after a loss at IU. Minnesota would be like a wounded animal in its lair.

Should be a good game.

Why R U whining about Iowa on this particular forum?

Iowa stinks, even Bruce "The Snake" Pearl coached there.

I wish I could agree here, but I just can't. The overall picture for the Gophers program is certainly bright, but I'm not heading into the Illinois game with any confidence we can get a win. We simply don't have what it takes in my opinion. I've been proven wrong before, and would be more than happy to eat crow if we somehow find a way to win. But as of right now, I just don't see it. :(

Your post on the football board about bad news coming concerning recruiting just got deleted and now you are on here ripping the basketball team.
I am offended by you using the f word in regards to someone who is gay and comparing the hawkeye's as being gay.
That is offensive to someone who is gay and comparing them to being a hawkeye.

Go Gophers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
