I wonder what Maverick’s thinking? Coleman got a lot more on the job training than he should have.

Foul shooting, dribbling, and passing. Three skills that are essential in guard play. At the college level, anyone can score (or should be able to), he needs to polish a lot more of his game before he’s ready for the big lights. Sometimes it’s just better to hold those scholarships.

Yeah, I should’ve realized that, seeing that I was actually at that game in Madison and remember talking Dre up to some Becky Boosters next to me.

Season has already ended on a fairly high note. Let’s see if they can ratchet it up one more octave in a few hours!

Dre really got going in the home loss to Wisconsin, and scored in double figures in the last four Big Ten games. Even though things were a bit rough in the early going, his floor grew significantly higher as the season went on.

Interesting to see the numbers here. I must admit, I thought the ORtg increase for Dre would be a little larger. Wish we could face off against a Michigan State or OSU right now, just to see what all these improvements mean against higher quality teams that defend. Guess I’ll have to wait another 9 months…

I feel like the more uptempo play we’ve seen in several of the NIT games has really benefitted our defense, as a number of guys (Austin, Joe, and Rodney in particular) seem to be very adept at defending in transition, and stopping the layup or deflecting the pass.

After all this writing about a losing team, we are quite excited to write about a winning team.

Thanks, guys. Glad you find it interesting. The Gopher basketball revolution is just getting started, so I won’t be going anywhere.
