I understand with certain teams that have strong guards we may have some trouble, but Tubby hasn't shown this at all. It would appear with his style of playing a larger number of players and his history of pressing we would have seen more of a disrupting press. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Let me start out by saying that our ability to lure Tubby to the "U" was a big win for the state, the program is an upgrade from the prior years under Munson, and the basketball team has "some" national relevance. But....... 1. Tubby has had not less than 6 pretty major issues under his watch...

That coaches can get away with signing $2MM+ contracts and can walk before there committment expires. (Not saying Tubby is leaving, just in general) If they are not performing they simply get fired and get paid the remaining balance of the contract. It seems to be a one sided contract in most...

Does another University need to ask permission to speak with a coach from the AD? Maturi said he had not been contacted. I know this is a business, but it would seem that would be some decorum on how these situations are handled. I would be very disappointed if Tubby or his agent was speaking...

Based on how the season went, I wasn't sure which team was going to show up in Indy. The performance in the b10 tourney was the type of team we all hoped for throughout the year. Now that we are in, is it possible for this team to have a mini run in the NCAA's? It depends. If our bigs are...

Based on spurts of excellence this year I would like to think the Gophs have a chance to go deep in the b10 tournament. BUT, after bad losses to Michigan, Indiana, and barely beating Penn State at home, I'm not convinced. -I would like to think Sampson is on the verge of becoming a major force...

We have played well enough to win most of the games we have played. Our closing skills have been the achilles for this team. Sports psychologist, voo doo doll, gut check.. Not sure what the answer is, but if we can harness this element we are tough. Every team is going to go on a run. Our...

What a useless front story in the sport section. This is typical Monday morning qb that shouldn't be written by the beat writer for the team. Joseph got a great look! The shot he made came after the whistle blew, no pressure, no defense! This is a great way for our beat writer that has no...

Posted on the Tubby email thread. Can we come up with some creative chants as a group? It would be awesome to add to the enthusiasm of the student section with some creative (clean) zingers to throw at the Boilers.

With all the disappointments we have had this year we have a great opportunity to jump right back in the mix tomorrow night. Purdue is redhot as indicated by their #3 ranking in the country and the general consensus from all the BB gurus. This will be, by far, our toughest matchup of the...

I thought our season was doomed when we abandoned the press after Nolen's exit. We seemed to lack defensive intensity and the game slowed down. The last two games we seem to have settled into more of a half court game and guys seem to be clamping down a bit more. I am still concerned about...

I have been very critical of Westbrooks play this year and his selfish behavior. Last night I came away very impressed. He played the type of game we need from him. He did not force any bad shots and played pretty well on the defensive end. You could see a couple of times where he did the...

I am a season ticket holder and had the pleasure (not) of a loud mouth badger (with a hot girlfriend) next to me last night. The kid would not shut up! After we got down 6 to start I was really not looking forward to the game. Needless to say the Gophers quickly bounced back and I was able...

As Tubby has stated, there is a very fine line between winning and losing. We have witnessed this on many occasions this year losing several close games that were ours to win. Last night was a testament to the fact that this team, playing together, within their roles, with discipline, can beat...

At this point in the season it is tough to be optimistic on the Gophers chances for the tournament or more than a couple of additional wins. The team is just not very good. But, the Wisconsin game is one that carries a unique ability to provide a bright spot in an otherwise dark season...

Since AN left the team we have been weak on defense. Our pressure defense has disappeared. Also, need a competent ball handler. Without him next year we are in trouble.

Is immediate playing time. This is something that would be fine in year 1, but year three it is very disappointing. How are we going to attract 4/5 star recruits at this point. Program is back to square one, with not a great deal of hope for next year (unless White, Mbakwe, Nolen items get...

No one to lead the team. Period. Cobbs is a freshman, but he look really bad. Compound one mistake by making another. AN loss was huge for this team

Michigan - Should Win Northwestern - They don't seem that good! Winning 1st two will set the pace for the home stand Wisconsin - If we win the first two we will be jacked - W Indiana - At home = big win Purdue - Toughest game - I will mark this a Loss Illinois- Need to win this one or Michigan...
