Correct. Duby is a freak athlete who can make the splash block or dunk..but overall isn't very good.

NCAA trumps NIT. Especially for as success starved as we are. If we have that much potential....the NCAA is the goal and should be expected this year....not next. Plus let's not forget what happened the last time we had high expectations entering a season.

Best part about this year though is we realistically control our own destiny. We technically do every year, but this year if you look at what is in front of us...it's not unrealistic pie in the sky hopes for winning games. We're legitimately the more talented team in probably no less than 11 of our final 15.

10-8 puts us at 19-12...20-13 with a 1-1 in the conference tourney. I'd be very interested in how many .500+, 10-conference win, 20 win overall, power 5 conference teams have historically been left out of the dance. My guess is not very many. 20 wins would put us in the mid-50s RPI wise.

The conference is down but let's not get carried away...it's still a respected conference. We don't need 13 conference wins to get in. 10-8 with a tourney win would do it. Especially if Minnesota stays strong and NW rights the ship a bit.

The biggest thing that I see when looking at the 5 is that Borchardt at least seemingly understands and fits his role and is thus more efficient. None of our bigs are going to give us consistent offensive production. With Tanner, he's there to do his job and he gets some clean up buckets. Jordy gets the ball and tries to force things offensively at times. He has terrible hands, little touch and can't jump over a French textbook thus resulting in many wasted trips and opportunities.

Id be surprised if we saw him on the bench. He's been bad all year and it hasn't changed anything. Still think he'll start and we'll bench him after he struggles.

Start Roby and Copeland and attack Haas with the agility.

Crispin preaching

Watson finally snapped out of it after the first 8 minutes

We have 54. They have 45.

Now thats a call I hate on Borchardt.

Doesnt just have to be his shot.

Dont understand why we dont try to get Copeland the ball in the lane more than we do.

Easy foul on Palmer...can't clear out all alone like that and not expect it

The hands are the huge difference. I swear Jordy has Ping Pong Paddles at the end of his arms

Borchardt is better than Jordy

Get Taylor out

Rather see Borchardt than Jordy

Taylor been terrible tonight

It's like Watson sold his soul for the Minnesota game. He's been bad since.

Huge that McIntosh is out. We should/need to win this.

Just once I'd like to see us beat a bad team like we should.

5th straight bad game for Glynn

Watson with another bad game
