Wonder if any Big Ten coaches are pissed because Minnesota gave Phinisee his confidence back?

It could be a turning point for this season, let’s just hope he really does have his confidence back!

He's maddening for me.  I watched the kid in high school, and he was always the smartest, best player on the court and played Langford dead @$$ even in that state title game.   He showed so much potential as a freshman, then had the concussion and never got back to that level.  His elevation on his jump shot isn't half what it was then, but at times he's just as explosive so I can't blame injury.   It baffles me.

He sure as hell looks athletic when he defends.

I remember during his freshman year Dakich was raving about how Phin was so so good at finishing at the rim. So frustrating.
