2013-2014 Gopher Hoops!

It's a building block. I think if you play in the championship game of the NIT it just affirms you should have been in the tournament, but the Gophers choked away too many games and played poorly without Dre Hollins. This is still an incomplete roster without any incomings that should be serious contributors, so it could be more of the same next year. But you never know - Mo Walker was an afterthought last year and PG was going to be a sore spot but the incomings played really well and the players got better. Maybe Lil Richard can coach em up a little.

I don't think they need to put the NIT championship and banner on display but you know the athletic department will. I give the players credit for playing hard. Oto's knee is toast yet he still played on it. They found a reason to play when there isn't really a great reason. I'll give them a pat on the head and that's about it. Show me something next year...I got tired of saying that with Tubby but Richard has shown some potential. Hopefully he's further along by year 4.

Why reward them with what is essentially a participation ribbon for a mediocre season?

Pride? It's a game played by kids. I'm glad they got to experience a tournament win. The world doesn't always need a sharp spin to it.

Yes, pride.

As a Minnesota sports fan I don't expect you to know much about it. Sorry I brought it up.

Rumor has it they are really close to signing a kid out of Atlanta (L'carpetron Dookmarriot) to replace Austin Hollins. Supposed to be a slasher with a good jump shot. Anybody heard confirmation?

You're thinking of Hingle McCringleberry. Richard has warned him about over-celebrating.
