We hit the portal hard after last season and brought in 70+ transfers. Guys that are experienced (weren’t starters or lost position due to injury) and are a better fit for our defense and offense. 
How come we are playing so many freshmen in skill positions, offensive line, and defensive line???

Freshmen make mistakes and need time to develop. Why aren’t the transfers playing???

They missed. There’s a reason why a lot of these players hit the portal. Recruiting is just as big in the portal as it is for high school players and a lot of colleges have fallen short there. They’re taking it for granted these guys have an offer already so they think the “ recruiting is done”. Nope. It’s a whole new angle of recruiting that has to take place now.  Leaning curve essentially.

      Reminds me of Temple under John Chaney. He had some teams that couldn't throw it in the ocean, but they were always super tough to beat because of their match-up zone.

      I think we're building a brand...it's kinda why I want to see more 54-51-esque games...this defense is a known commodity in basketball circles and was on full display tonight, especially in the first half. that's our identity and it seems like all the new kids have bought in to it. it's not gonna always be a pretty game on the offensive end, but if that commitment to UNT defense is there every game, we're always gonna be tough to beat

      From the Gopher board.... "Normally similar to a bracket buster, but I am guessing if these two were in a first round brack pair more people would have picked the Mean Green. Until Ben learns to fast break, we are going to have zero offense. 0 fast break points again tonight. If teams can get set, it likely be a long season unless we amp up the 3 PT shooting percentage. Turnovers: Gophers 13 Mean Green 8 Pts off turnovers: Gophers 4 Mean Green 18 Steals: Gophers 1 Mean Green 7 Fast Break PTS: Gophers 0 Mean Green 9 Points in the Paint: Gophers 16 Mean Green 28...Mean Green tallest player that played was 6'9" All gopher players seemed frustrated and no energy. Mean Green were ready and hungry and deserved the W."

      Laughing at the quotes on x about how our basketball plays suffocating d and our football plays absolutely no d. also all the people baggin on Minnesota for losing, and I just remind them that no big 10 fan should scoff at it since our last 2 games against the big 10 were wins against Purdue for our first ever tourney win, and that huge comeback against Wisconsin in the nit semi’s.
