Unofficial, of course....

I have yet to see a positive of having Johnson in the starting lineup. Unless you like skinny, weak guards that can't finish around the basket.....

I think this is the official thread 1811 eight minutes left in the first half

Harrar having a great first half. finishing on the 2 man game, rebounding, just playing tough, as always.

I didn't get to listen to the game while at work, but I wanted to say congratulations anyway.

Wonder how many wins we would have had if no one transferred out...

I’m really surprised by how bad Minnesota was at defending the high pick and roll…it’s like they made no attempt to help on Harrar as he rolled, and were more worried about the corner 3s than Harrar scoring a layup…also very little help when Pickett was taking his man down into the paint. Really would love to have that game at The Barn to do over again, as that seemed like a game where we were scoring layups, and they kept hitting contested 3s and long 2s (especially Curry, who doesn’t shoot as well as he did that night in an open gym).

More…although if Pickett comes back next year, it makes it hurt a lot less.

Stat of the night… that’s the first time since 11/20/18 (Wright St, down in Cancun) that Dread scored three baskets inside the arc…that was in his 4th career game. This season, he only had 4 two pointers heading into tonight.

Brockington, Jones and Wheeler are all starters and having solid seasons. Iowa State, Florida and Ohio State.

Even from a depth perspective, Abdou is now starting for Fordham, and Buttrick is having a solid season starting at UMass. And then there is former commit Houston Mallette who is playing very well of late at Pepperdine (he had 25 against Gonzaga the other night, coming off of a 31 point game against BYU and 23 against San Fran).

It’s hard to say; keep all 3 of the guards that transferred out, then how do Pickett and Sessoms develop? Out of the 3 that transferred out, Brockington, IMHO, would have really helped this team. Brock was extremely quick and strong. Brock could pop the 3, shoot long range 2’s very well; and could finish at the rim, with dunks at times. Shrew could have done some great things with Brockington, in my opinion.

If those guys stay, then there is no chance that Pickett is here

I just wanted to keep Brockington...he was a difference maker.
