The one thing we all know about Dodge is that he is extremely classy and cares for all of his players from starters down to walk-ons. I would assume a moment silence will occur.

RIP and God Bless the family as they grieve for their young son.

The game tomorrow must seem pretty meaningless to the guys tonight. I know I'm not nearly as excited as I was yesterday. Brings back a lot of memories from when Andrew passed away.

As somebody said earlier...we all die young...some just younger than others. Best wishes to Josh's folks, friends, and teammates.

As a mother that is our worst nightmare, having to bury your child. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I have no kids of my own, but when I mentioned this to my wife, who has 4 from her first marriage (all grown, and all doing well, thank God), she said the same thing. This is such a tragedy for his family and those closest to him. One thing I hope the players can realize is that it's alright to come together in prayer at such times; although I'm not particularly religious, I know that can help.

Ch. 11 news at 10pm had a nice story about Josh. He was to suit up for the UNT game for the first time Saturday and had texted his dad about it earlier. They interviewed some fans at the SLC game tonite where they had a moment of silence for him. Some students there said they would attend the UNT game in his honor. They also interviewed Riley and Coach Dodge, both very classy and Riley said he would dedicate the game to him.

I hate things like this...

So sad, and there is nothing to say really...

My heart goes out his to family...

Football seems so insignificant right now...

Obviously you don't want it to happen like this but I am thinking if anything the boys are going to go out there and give that extra little effort and dedicate the game to Josh.

I really hope the players can rally tomorrow and win it for Josh.

that's horrible news. since having a child, i have realized how sad and tragic it is for a child or a young adult to lose their life. i can't imagine the pain his parents are feeling right now. so sad. my prayers go out to his family and friends.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
