The Hawkeyes just lost be two after former Minnesota recruit Andrew Brommer missed two free throws with less than a second left. Feel bad for him. As a kid that happened to me. It was awful.

Indeed. I still think that's a weakness of ours.

the thing is...
…it really shouldn’t be with the twin towers and johnson on the squad. I don’t think we are doing particularly bad, I just think UVA is doing a good job of positioning.

Gophers just don’t look like they have any rhythm on either end of the floor…like it is the first time they have all played together. Just an observation.

We're painful with our half court offense.
If we’re not scoring in transition, it’s ugly.

I don't think we have a half-court identity.
No real inside scoring. No real slashers. UK fans always criticized Tubby’s “complicated” halff court offnese. I think that’s BS, but….

Agreed. Last couple games seems less, um, ...... lost?
Maroon and Gold Headquarters: The Daily Gopher
by PJS on Dec 2, 2008 9:25 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
So ....
… Momentum going into halftime is important, IMO. We probably have it, but we had an 8 point lead with about 5 minutes left in the half when Tubby went to the entire second group. I thought we kept that group out there too long. To me Busch is a role player, not a regular. We should be up 6-10 if Tubby was playing with a shorter bench.

I love it when a player, in this case DJ, stops thinking and just plays.
That drive was pure instinct. Just what he’d do in practice or a pick-up game.
