This is against a high effort UW. They are exploited at every position.
DudeI think Michigan rolls wisco on Tuesday.
They have 9 seniors or grad transfers. Plus Wagner is going pro. And who knows if others do.Michigan has 2 5 stars, two more top 60 players, a third 4 star, and Will Tschetter coming in next year, and are still hoping for a shot at adding Chet Holmgren. I’m curious as to how they have that many scholarships.
Was very close to betting Michigan and the under. Would have been sweating the final 5 minutes but would have won.Dude
I don’t think we ever got down by 40 thoughGophers lost by more
Are we celebrating that !I don’t think we ever got down by 40 though
Height everywhere as well.I told my buddy who is a diehard Michigan fan this. He was skeptical but I’ve seen the best of the B1G and its Michigan followed by everyone else. They can beat you at every position and from anywhere on the court. Excellent defense, can shoot, a couple dominant players. Really impressive team.
Regarding that commitment, Tschetter better send a letter to unfetter.Michigan has 2 5 stars, two more top 60 players, a third 4 star, and Will Tschetter coming in next year, and are still hoping for a shot at adding Chet Holmgren. I’m curious as to how they have that many scholarships.
Michigan let off the gas when they went up by 40 with over ten minutes in the half remaining. Gave Wisconsin a lot of garbage time to close the gap.Gophers lost by more
What a disappointment. But it was still a beauty to watch.Michigan let off the gas when they went up by 40 with over ten minutes in the half remaining. Gave Wisconsin a lot of garbage time to close the gap.
Tyler Wahl is a poor mans Sam Dekker.I just don’t think he is very useful. Maybe he develops but as of now he is a liability against good teams.
Very poor mans.Tyler Wahl is a poor mans Sam Dekker.
This is GopherHole...Pitino is evaluated after ever possession.Michigan put it on Wisconsin.
doesn’t make me feel better about Minnesota being awful on the road, but re-enforces my belief that Pitino can only be evaluated at the end of 20 conference games, not 2,4 or 7.
I'd consider it a moral victory if the Gophers keep the margin within a dozen points.So...unlikely to win Saturday.
Michigan is going to be feeling pretty good about how they're playing. They blew us out and just blew out Wisconsin. I could see some sleepwalking happening and us catching them off guard. I'm not expecting a win, but I will also be shocked if they kill us again.I'd consider it a moral victory if the Gophers keep the margin within a dozen points.
I was reading the Wisconsin board after the michigan game and a significant amount of vitriol extended toward Gaard and the team. I think that seing the big picture is not a strength of message boatds in general.. Comments along the lines of Gaard cant recruit athletes, team never plays with energy, Reuvers is awful, offense is bad, best win is minnesota who has trouble winning on the road.This is GopherHole...Pitino is evaluated after ever possession.
That's interesting. I always wonder what fans of teams that are generally successful are like when they go through things we have to go through regularly.I was reading the Wisconsin board after the michigan game and a significant amount of vitriol extended toward Gaard and the team.

Mostly the same. 20% knee jerk reaction after a win or loss. Best coach after a win, worst ever after a loss. 10% always great, 10% always negative. Ton of homers, rival haters, ref complainers, even conspiracy guys. A fair share of thoughtful basketball crazy guys. Supportive but open minded and look at the game through a critical lens. Expecting greatness. Elite programs though have a certain arrogance and are experienced at seeing the struggles be brief. They have established more fan equity and in fact have a national brand as everyone loves a winner.That's interesting.

I think builtbadgers addressed this pretty well. In short, not substantially different from us. As expected, fan bases of more successful teams tend to be even more critical and intolerant during a losing performance. And, as built mentioned, a large block of fans continuously bitching about the refs is almost universal. I check into opposing fans' forums frequently (especially Iowa because I'm an alum of there and had a long history of closely following the team). Fans bases are more alike than different.That's interesting. I always wonder what fans of teams that are generally successful are like when they go through things we have to go through regularly.
Haha true! I dont think wisconsin or minnesota had good nights. Its not a competition against wisconsin who had better game against michigan. Both were awful.Are we celebrating that !
Gopher Football is definitely closing the gap on Wisconsin. I guess you could say they are also closing the gap on Alabama but that is more like saying throwing a rock into the Grand Canyon is starting to fill it!See I feel like I'd just get bored if all my team did was win. I mean it beats the alternative but imaging being a die hard Alabama football fan. The games are rarely even competitive. Now, comparing Wisconsin basketball to Alabama football is apples and oranges but so is comparing us to Wisconsin in some aspects.
I feel the same way and Alabama is the perfect example. I've thought a number of times before that it must be really boring to be a long-time Alabama football fan.See I feel like I'd just get bored if all my team did was win.

Living in Fargo, I subscribe to this way of thinking as well. The town shuts down when NDSU football plays and the game, for all intents and purposes, is over by the halfway point of the 2nd quarter in most instances. I'm not a Bison fan, but I'll watch other college football teams I don't care about if I think the game is going to be competitive. NDSU football games are unwatchable.See I feel like I'd just get bored if all my team did was win. I mean it beats the alternative but imaging being a die hard Alabama football fan.
