This one is over. Minnesota is a good team. Johnson deserves credit for this roster. And they lost the kid who went to Ohio State as well.

Hawkins has outplayed all of our guards tonight by a wide margin. He ran the offense tonight, we had no one slowing him down and we had no guards running the offense for us.
some of Pikell’s worst coaching has been at Minn
Pike struggles against teams like this….Johnson & Fran own him.
It’s a broken record. We can’t hit open shots with any regularity.
Just can't hit shots this half and not really playing high energy defense - we were due for a letdown, but sucks to not be playing well. Likely to lose this one now down 14 with under 4 minutes to go, so the margin for making a tourney run is about to get even thinner. Unless we go on a monster comeback run...
Van Dyke seems awful as a strength and conditioning coach. Pikiell needs to be forced to fire him and have Jay Butler recommend someone.

Not a good game. Match-ups not in our favor and the players look confused on offense.
Minny probably the better team, TBH.

People who think kenpom is dumb are usually pretty white trash. Sucks for you 😂
Terrible coaching by Pikiell tonight. His substitutions have been horrendous. I would have put Ogbke out there just to beat the shit out of Payne.
Garcia has been shit but Payne is abusing Cliff and other scrubs hitting shots game over
He's never done it his entire career. Do you really expect him to start tonight.
Really disappointing second half. I thought we played very well in the first, especially for a road game and against a team who has been wilting in the second half lately. But not going with what worked in the 1st and then some really questionable substitution patters with Cliff sitting for a long time while Wolf just embarrassed himself.
Have no idea what ur laughing at. If he could help he'd out there. Hes slow on D, cant dribble, doesnt board and cant create. Being a statue outside the perimeter he wont get a shot off. Hes good when you got a defense chasing the ball he can spot up and shoot... but when you have a defense playing fast he wont even touch the ball
1FG last 9 and a half minutes isn't going to win games
26 point paints in the 1st half, 8 in the 2nd. Pike completely changed the gameplan for no freaking reason.
