uneblinstu's postgame chatter: vol 15, ed 32: Big Ten Tournament - Minnesota

[Handy Johnson]

Seems like everyone in Mpls was more than happy to remind me Wednesday night we lost to one of the WORST teams in Gopher history. Played us tough twice, neutral court, blah blah blah When you let a Bad Team hang around & hang around we know what can happen, because it’s often times US hoping to be that Team…

It’s an interesting debate about the merit of logging minutes against lesser competition.  I tend to go back and forth but when you see a lot of guys transfer from smaller schools to bigger schools, such as Sam Griesel and Baylor Schierman, would they have been the players they are today if they had rode the pine at a power 5 program?  I personally think that getting 3 seasons of major minutes at smaller schools allowed them to develop into the players they are today.  I just don’t think anything compares to game experience.
