Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

Twenty turnovers = too many.

I should have been counting how many times especially in the first half a Jack threw it right into the hands of a Gopher. Unforced turnovers.

Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

I was happy with Sargent, Callahan and Cassaday (though he needs to quit getting charges).... Kai and Cordova need to play with more intensity...... One thing I was happy with is that we controlled there post for the most part.... the one thing though is the point guard play needs to improve.... Casey needs to run the offense and Palarca just needs to keep it under control....

A guy like Nolen can make a lot of players look bad. Personally, I prefer Palarca at the point for now.

Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

Maybe I should have said that the top-to-bottom team effort was what we needed to see . . . everybody contributed tonight, I think. We're not at Minnesota's talent level, but we should be somewhere in the middle of the pack of the Summit League . . . possibly in the top half if things keep coming together.

It's all good. Going to go back to the beginning of the year and repeat the same thing. We just need healthy players. How different would things be with a ligit center and not making AC play the position. He fits the power forward position. In 11 days we gain another player in the rotation of guards/forwards so maybe players can get some longer breathers on the bench.

I've been to all the home games except one. This is the hustle we have seen (not calling you out so don't take it as that). I like the team hustle. Just have to handle the ball better and stop with the turnovers.

MN will have to shoot...shot clock faster than game clock

Pile up

loose on the floor...jump ball - Minn

74-60 is the final.

Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

Was Casey really expected to be "the man at the point" when we signed him? I don't think so. If he was then someone wasn't doing there job. Mack does what he can with what God has given him but he isn't the guy at the point.

I think Casey was actually a walk-on when he first joined the Jacks. Don't know it that changed later on or not.

Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

We need to schedule like Tubby does. Only one away game so far this season. And twelve home games with two away in the first fourteen.

Final?

Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

The men need to play with this kind of effort every game, for 40 minutes. If they do, they'll win their fair share of Summit League games.

Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

All in all, not so bad. Take away a couple of really, really bad stretches, and the Jacks played pretty well. And they played with great effort all night. We saw during that stretch early in the second half that the Jacks are a pretty good team when they play with patience and control.

If we see that kind of effort in Summit League play, we'll win some games. I'm generally encouraged by this effort. Add Griffan C. into the mix, and we've got a nice 9 or 10-player rotation. I can see a lot of progress being made here.

Still diving for the ball with 7 seconds left. Good to see.
