  1. Fred went out his way last week to talk him up & said he was hoping to get Curtis more minutes. Maybe he’s sick or dinged up...?
  2. Free throws - lay ups... blah blah blah
  3. I like what I see, hanging around well within striking distance. Need to get Burke going...
  4. Something tells me we’re gonna really push the pace tonight & GT won’t be able to hang...!
  5. I remember when Missouri joined the SEC, they were all “puffed up” & acted like they got the better end of the stick (since the B1G turned them down) Well, it’s 8 years later & their Football & Basketball teams have accomplished jacks**t & have become the definition of also-rans...
  6. That we’re EXTREMELY fortunate, & he’s learned that the bright lights/big city isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. He has the rare chance here to carry on his Grandfather’s legacy & accomplish goals that have never been met...
  7. While Fred isn’t the wisecracker Tim is, he’s an engaging personality with an obvious command of his topic. His patience with the callers who are either a little nervous being on the air or half-in-the bag is also commendable. After spending YEARS watching him in/around the Timberwolves organization, I’m still taken aback at times that he’s Coaching at Nebraska...
  8. Just some early season thoughts, was surprised Creighton knocked off Texas Tech (yes in OT) & I’m even more surprised Juwan Howard has Michigan ranked #2...
  9. A buddy of mine went out to Manny’s Steak House in Mpls last night with Tim after the DePaul/Gopher game. Said Tim is doing great, loves the new job, & is just biding his time until he finds the right opportunity to return to Coaching.
  10. 1. I know (both Asian) just a little *joke* 2. I hope so...
  11. Could he be the next Shaun Ping...? Best lefty shooters I ever saw in person Anthony Peeler/Harold Minor.
  12. I was at an OT loss at the Barn back in 2000, 74-70. Cochran missed a three at the buzzer that would’ve given us the win, then the Gophers made 10-13 FT in the overtime to seal it...
  13. Growing up in Superior, when we first got cable television, there was no ESPN but there was TBS out of Atlanta & they showed ACC basketball. This was Lefty Drissell at Maryland, Dean Smith & the 4 corners at UNC, the best player at Duke was Gene Banks & Hawkeye Whitney was a Star ️ for the Wolfpack. That’s why I always get a kick out of this challenge in particular. I’ve always held ACC/B1G Basketball in the highest regard, & I’m hoping we can take care of business down there & come home with a “W”!
  14. Looks like we’re in the “meaty” part of the curve on most of these. That FT percentage though would make Lonzo Ball blush...
  15. They’ve wanted to fire Pitino since he sat foot on campus, & they’ve still got a red a** about getting burned by Tubby (never had a winning B1G record) If only they could clone a combination of Musselman/Haskins minus they cheating & assaults...
  16. How bout, Stevenson/Walker on the boards, & Curtis/Easley from deep...
  17. The only guys I can think of that couldn’t shoot a lick & played in the NBA are Dennis Rodman & Ben Simmons... I’m hoping all three of them Banton, Stevenson, Walker are all honing their skills & not just marking time.
  18. PLEASE God, let us win one of our next 3 road games... (and I think you know which one)!
  19. Put another trophy in that Trophy case...
  20. Son-of-a... lead down to one! Someone needs to give Cheatham some help!
  21. The 2 - 3 zone seems to be slowing em down, Huskers on a 15-2 run!
  22. We need to push the pace & try to get some easy buckets, we don’t shoot well enough to settle for jumpers.
