The Daily Gopher: Third Straight Disappointment

Wednesday’s game seemed like a bad rerun to SB Nation’s Minnesota blog, The Daily Gopher.For the third straight game the Gophers were atrocious from the free throw line (7-15).

For the third straight game the Gophers couldn’t develop anything consistent in the half-court offense.

For the third straight game the Gophers defense had some nice moments, but also way too many costly lapses.

I got to see the first two of those contests, losses to Portland and Texas A&M in Anaheim, and have to agree that Minnesota has a lot of work to do before the Big Ten season starts. The closing non-conference stretch should give them a confidence boost, but Tubby Smith needs to preach the benefits of consistency to his club before the rigors of league play begin.
