    His drive and dunk was fun too, but with Martinelli wide open ahead of him, I’d have been pissed at his choice if he’d somehow missed it.

    Martinelli

    Martinelli really did some good out there. Love it seemed like he rushed his free throws, but not sure if I’m right. Verhoeven’s very late swipe without fouling was a game-changer.

    Happy Monday!

    Stakes were high. If Tap accidentally throws it out of bounds, it’s Michigan with the ball under their own basket with 1.7 left.

    Beat Iowa!!

    You know, that’s a fairly apt description of Iowa. Like the south, but with more meat.

    Beat Iowa!!

    I hate the title of this thread. I appreciate the sentiment, of course, but those two words arranged into a phrase will always be associated for me with one Robert Strotz in a particular time and place. What can I say, it was a formative experience. Carry on.

    Give Collins an extension

    It somewhat seems on the same level as suggesting that a university use endowment money to upgrade the players’ locker room.

    Give Collins an extension

    No, we don’t KNOW if they were CCC’s choices or were imposed, but the statement also doesn’t come across as even reasonable speculation. I would be very surprised for any credible AD to simply impose these kinds of changes. Discuss them, encourage them, urge them all seem much more likely to...

    Some very nice minutes from Verhoeven

    They did, though we also slowed the pace of play significantly for what seemed a decent chunk of the second half.

    Big Ten TV Schedule: Week Twelve (1/23-1/29)

    Even if they did, I’m sure what CBS wants are good games, good stories and good brands. We might qualify for the first two but not the last one. Good brands provide insurance against games that don’t turn out to be good.

    3 B1G wins in a week.

    I’ll speak up for Verhoeven’s defense here. Yes he fouled out again but by the time it happened any Minnesota fans who had come for the game were pulling off 94 for lunch in Eau Claire. TV played an all-around game: some creditable defense, pulled down some rebounds, got 3 blocks, a steal...

    Some very nice minutes from Verhoeven

    Well, what do you want vs a not good opponent? A pretty easy win, not in doubt, with rest for your starters and positive contributions from your bench. I’d say we checked all the items on today’s list.

    When do we get excited?

    Clark Kellogg just picked us to win the NBA championship.

    Some very nice minutes from Verhoeven

    Good contributions from him and the bench overall. We could easily have won by 30, but we took the air out of the ball pretty early on, and used a lot of bench minutes to get a lot of our starters some rest.

    It feels weird perusing the B1G standings...

    It’ll be ok. Dig deep down to find your inner calm.

    Bet he indicated you were #1 to him.

    Student section “sells out” of tickets for MN game in 15 mins

    You’ll like it. Frankly I think the new WRA is perfect for us.

    Another conference win.

    I have to disagree with you. At least on these boards, Lumpkin is hardly under-appreciated. He's almost legendary. Lol! I would assume you showed up on these boards for the first time three weeks ago, but I know better.

    Another conference win.

    I think the Lumpkin comparison is apt in at least one respect. Lumpkin didn’t take many shots, but he took almost no bad shots. And he was under-appreciated. If some others have a hotter hand, I’ll be happy with a starter who finds other ways to contribute. I’ll take the guy who gets 0...
