Your trash talking was well deserved. Obviously Minnesota has more talent than SDSU. Wolters would be the only guy that could get playing time in a Minnesota jersey this year.
SDSU is very good for a mid-major team, but there is a huge difference between top 25 teams and mid-major teams. Mid-majors can definitely upset and be a better team on that night, but the talent level is much different.

Definitely. Someone mentioned earlier that we have the same talent level as U of M. It is crystal clear that is not the case. Even with Wolters, we needed at least a couple of others to have the best games of their careers in order to win. It sure would have been fun to see what Wolters could do in terms of personal scoring though.
I agree Kemo -what we really need to see, and what has been missing for this team thus far is chemistry. The Jacks need to play like a team, everyone on the floor and on the bench needs to do their job to the best of their ability - yes that means making shots and taking rebounds, hard-nosed defense and all the rest of the cliches. We don't need one or two to step up, the whole team needs to move up a place together. Too often in this short season we have seen players drift in and out of the play, stony cold one minute, hit a big shot/rebound/block and then quietly drift back into never never land for 10 minutes. Minnesota has a competitive edge coming into this game but I don't believe for a second that they have more talent - the Jacks need to just play hard and smart for 40 minutes. I'd like to hear more talk on the court and less of Nagy screaming from the sideline. Seems to me that communication on the court would go a long ways to bringing this team into one cohesive unit - if that happens tomorrow night - look out Gophers!
had to repost, not trying to trash sdsu because i think you guys will have a very good year, but i still thought this was pretty funny
