He once missed an open dunk and the ball came down at half court. Steve Yoder once called him "the third best outlet passer in the nation." Bet that's still on his resume.

Chris has been watching the Goofs all season and claims his play is horrendous. <BR/><BR/>In my opinion, the fact that he looked like a superstar in two games against the Badgers makes those losses hurt just a little bit more.<BR/><BR/>tTooheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273275671107964774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791900055012948732.post-32959031483595477102009-03-05T08:33:00.000-06:002009-03-05T08:33:00.000-06:00A couple of things from section 213, row 14:That l...A couple of things from section 213, row 14:<BR/><BR/>That last shot by Hughes. Ummm, is that really what was drawn up? Would have liked to at least to work it to Landry.<BR/><BR/>Ed Hightower and crew were horrible but were at least consistently horrible for both sides.<BR/><BR/>Olson noted that Bo was awfully quick with the hook last night. I don't know if he was just trying to find some combo that worked offensively or what, but, good lord.<BR/><BR/>I think Taylor's going to be solid but he did get abused by Westbrook late in that game.<BR/><BR/>This team really lacks a go-to guy offensively and I'm a bit concerned for the forseeable future. I don't feel comfortable with the ball in anyone's hand when Bucky needs a score.<BR/><BR/>Toren has now notched just two Gopher wins in any Badger-Minny match-up that we've both attended together: Besides last night, commie kicker Rhys Lloyd provided the other great moment for Chris in this rivalry.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010546239637914181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791900055012948732.post-2090416002966554182009-03-05T07:50:00.000-06:002009-03-05T07:50:00.000-06:00This one hurts a lot more than Michigan State.

However, we had a 5 point lead and the ball in this game with less than 3 minutes left. That was inexcusable. What is with our late game offense? It seems like Bo just says "Trevon hold the ball until there's 10 seconds left, then drive the lane and either throw up a bad shot or pray there's an outlet pass to an open man." Why couldn't they just play the normal offense - move the ball around, feed the post, anything but take the air out of the ball. I really feel this hurt us. We were the aggressors until the end and it cost us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
