According to Yahoo! Team Report�s Quote to Note, Coach Tubby Smith has said,,, about the difference between last year and this year:

�There is usually a holdover or a group of players that had to learn a new system. They now understand that system, they�ve had a year of indoctrination and the new players you�re bringing in,custom bobblehead, there isn�t that learning curve. They�re getting on the court and off the court tutoring from the returning players � that�s very beneficial to the newcomers we have.�

Basically, the Gophers are buying into Tubby�s game plan, and that�s got to be a good thing. What a difference a year makes, huh? But it�s still too early to say this team can last the whole season, through to the Tournament. They might get to the NCAA�s with some solid play against the Big Ten,custom bobblehead, which is a nice place to be right now, but don�t bet on anything more than a first round elimination. The future looks bright for this team, and in another year or so when Iverson develops and gets talent around him they could be Final Four material.
