Pushing through the emotional responsibility of following Gopher hoops & football. Gophers. Twins. Wolves. Vikes. USMNT. Loons. Toffees.

Hello - I'm rarely around these parts anymore, but if you'd like my thoughts on Gopher basketball I am indeed keeping the Barn Babble flame lit via a podcast this season. Go Gophers!

BONUS THOUGHT
While the offense is leaning towards "trainwreck" (eFG% 256th in D1), the law of averages can hopefully help:

Lu'Cye - 14% & 13% below career avgs for 2s & 3s
Femi - 18% & 31% below career avgs for 2s & 3s
Brennan - 6% & 5% below career avgs for 2s & 3s

Game #1:

DATA
Dawson's 4th-career 30-pt game & highest single-gm ORtg (179) of his career

Parker's 2nd-highest single-gm ORtg (186) of his career

EYE TEST
Brennan has to be more active off the ball

Femi has a uniquely quirky skillset & some "Jelly" to his ballhandling

[Danny Fischbach @GopherTheGold]

Game #5:

DATA
Parker (127), Isaac (123), Dawson (115), and Brennan (111) all w really solid ORtgs while being weighed down by some duds from Lu'Cye (41), Femi (29), and Frank (0!)

EYES
Femi has to be put in fewer "decision-making" positions

Frank has to take care of the ball

May I interest you in a nonpartisan article discussing Gopher basketball to pass the time on this historic election day?

Far too many words about Ben Johnson's squad this year as we kick off Year Four (!) of Barn Babble!

The reign of Bert is finally over

Arguably the most entertaining regular season Wolves game I can remember watching? NAW the catalyst & Ant the closer.

[Danny Fischbach @GopherTheGold]

@zipsofakron Honestly three of seven is pretty solid in today's era haha

[Danny Fischbach @GopherTheGold]

@dillonpomeroy Gophs got called for an offsides (incorrectly) on a successful onside kick v Michigan & B1G acknowledged they will change the rule to make it reviewable haha

[Danny Fischbach @GopherTheGold]

Darnold’s neck coulda been broken 😂 what a joke

[Danny Fischbach @GopherTheGold]

@TDISportsClips @Gopher_Topher do you have any recollection of this play?

[Danny Fischbach @GopherTheGold]

One of the dumbest baseball plays you’ll ever have the privilege of watching

[CJ Fogler 🫡 @cjzero]

this team is so aggravating, you cannot get doubled on a popup bunt

[Danny Fischbach @GopherTheGold]

Just when you've lost all hope, they reel you back in

[Danny Fischbach @GopherTheGold]
