We had a good second half. Lost control in the last couple of sequences (Boo loses control, we give up two offensive rebounds). I wanted that win but we're still ok.

Anybody else think with his size MN should be able to carve out space to be a more effective rebounder? Seems like his favorite play is to try and slap the ball out and hope someone else can grab it. Was one time late in this game where he did that and Wisc got the ball… I get that approach if you are undersized, but MN is over 7’- just go up and pull it down with some authority.

The "Big Guys" thread is mainly about that.
