Yeah right… Our D didn’t cause Morris to throw picks in the red zone or cause us to not be able to punch the ball in from the 1. The offense just didn’t make the plays we are used to them making. The defense had nothing to do with that. Coach Morris is like Mike Leach was. He’s super aggressive. That’s going to win you some games and lose you some games, particularly when you don’t make plays you’re used to making.

Minnesota hangs on today at home to beat Omaha 68-64. Minnesota shot 25 of 55 but just 3 of 17 from 3-point range and 15 of 26 from the foul line. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=401715388

See this is where the problem starts and stops with Eric Morris. He's hyper aggressive from the start and puts the defense in terrible situations from the beginning. Then when the defense allows repeated short TD scoring drives or allows 40+ despite being on the field for 15 possessions, we blame them and wonder why they can't do more. We saw today that they are capable. We've got to stop saying he does it as an anticipation of bad defense. This really starts and stops with Eric Morris.

Just to put a positive spin on this one, it seems the ref's mic worked perfectly the whole game. Sounded good also.

Settle down. This brutal 3 games is over. San Antonio lost to Tulsa not long ago. Army came in outscoring opponents 300 something points to 90. That defense was going to force some mistakes and require gambles. Monken’s been up there working at this a long time.
