Canada trip game broadcasts

[PeanutButterTubbyTime]

I found one for the Sunday game, but does anyone know about the Thursday game or the final one?

[CollegeBBallFan]

PBTT, I think that sportscanadatv is good for both the Thursday ( Sept 2) and Sunday (Sept 5) games. http://sportscanada.tv/

Friday's game ( Sept 3rd) will be on SpartansTV as I have had a reply from an inquiry to them.

[idagopher]

so, can we watch through their website or is there a sat channel that carries canadatv?

[PeanutButterTubbyTime]

Awesome, thanks for the great info!

Ida, it looks like it should stream through the website. If you click on the "7:00pm MEN: Minnesota @ UBC" link in the upper right I think that opens the viewing page.

[Section201]

Bump.

[underground629]

Nvm...

[jjsinmn]

We look pretty good at least early on. Nolan is playing good defense so that is encouraging

[Friend Of Tubby]

Sloppy play, poor shooting (%) by both teams.

[BrooklynBadger_Gopher_Fan]

where are you guys watching the game? thanks

Quality isn't great for me... is Devoe Joseph now #34 or am I seeing things?

34 it is. Holy cow! Mo Walker is a big boy!

[jjsinmn]

I don't know if he is even playing. I have been paying more attention to the gopher football game which they won.

[jjsinmn]

So does anyone know out of these three games in Canada which university is considered to be the best competition?

Well, they keep talking about UBC playing in the championship the past two years so I'm assuming they are one of the better teams in Canada.

[jjsinmn]

Really, I am not too impressed with the T-Birds so far. Devoe Joseph busting shots in people's faces

UBC was #1 college team (27-1 record) in Canada last season.

They appear to be about the equivalent of a division II team. Not much size to them at all.

[jjsinmn]

thanks for the info. lol the Memphis Grizzlies are apparently a sore subject in British Columbia

[freshtrout]

Yes, Devoe is number 34... Mo has no 'lift'.. Blake has his stroke going.. Al still picks up the ball and kills the offense.. Trevor is a beast on the boards.. can't say much about Ralph and Colton except that they look larger.. Austin Hollins is slick, but skinny. Watching on a laptop is difficult at best... but still intersting.

Yeah, Gophers are playing well against this team. And Joseph appears fully recovered from his "thigh" injury.

[Friend Of Tubby]

Gophers shot MUCH better in 2Q especially Devoe Joseph.

[underground629]

Yes, yes he is. Looks like he'll really struggle in the Big Ten this year unless he starts losing weight. Unless he completely moves someone out of the way, it looks like any decent shotblocker will be able to get to him.


34 it is. Holy cow! Mo Walker is a big boy!

[jjsinmn]

FYI the Saskatchewan Huskies were the champions of CIS basketball last year.

[underground629]

I thought our bigs would dominate this game. They've been pretty disappointing outside of Colt's sweet steal, dribble all the way down, and then slam it.

[Blizzard]

Several people are tweeting that Mbakwe has a towel over his hand and the trainers are checking it over. Possible injury.

On a side not that dude has got like size 20 feet. It looks like he has clown shoes on!

[jjsinmn]

Finding out a lot more about CIS basketball than I ever have known before but apparently Josh Whyte of UBC was the CIS player of the year.

[underground629]

Not good... probably the same finger he hurt in HP. I think he hurt it right before the half.

[PeanutButterTubbyTime]

God this is the most amateur-ass broadcast ever lol

[The-Real-Truth]

I vote for Mo to be red-shirted this year. Eliason is ready to go. A little bit of rust. We will be fine by November.

Go Gophers

[EG#9]

I am getting an "off air" message on the website, is the game still at half?

[jjsinmn]

they are funny to listen too. Ralph with the nice almost three point range shot.

[jjsinmn]

no the third quarter just started

[Go Gophs eh?]

Mbakwe is such a beast 2 blocks and a rebound in 15 seconds

[jjsinmn]

Austin Hollins is quick and looks to be someone who could help this year

[underground629]

Our rebounding has been less than stellar

[underground629]

Unusual amount of turnovers for Blake

[Go Gophs eh?]

turnovers are a problem, but im not worried its their 1st game together they need to have time to gel. Walker is more mobile than i tough he is gonna be good. such a soft touch too

[Monty519]

Just loggin into the game after the football win, good to see Hollins making impact, I'm really excited about what he could bring this year.

[underground629]

I don't think Walker will be doing much as a freshman.

[jjsinmn]

uh oh, I hope it is only an ankle for Ralph

[Tully55]

in the span of a minute or two, Colton made a free throw and then made a good spin move to the basket to score I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!

[Bigg Robb]

God this is the most amateur-ass broadcast ever lol

I love the "Yeah, Sampson was part of the Twin Towers that won the championship with Julius Erving." Oh..... so close.

[Go Gophs eh?]

Colt with the reverse i laughed sooo hard ahahahah

[underground629]

can someone describe the Mbakwe alleyoop? screen went black as is happened. so pissed

[PeanutButterTubbyTime]

Yeah really, I wonder if they'll have it on another shot on some sort of a recap or something. I guess that's all we can hope for at this point...:mad:

Sorry, I spoke too soon. Mo is good. Good win.

Go Gophers

[Go Gophs eh?]

really mo had like 10 points, at least 5 boards, a block or 2

[underground629]

Damn, I thought it was just me. Bad timing to go black.

[underground629]

I think Mo can be effective against weak, unathletic, or undersized centers, but I think he'll struggle for hte most part this year in the Big Ten unless he loses some weight.

[Blizzard]

Oh well..I can't complain, I had a great picture and I was watching Gopher basketball on September 2nd.

Fun! :cool::cool::cool:

[underground629]

Pretty bad that we gave up 7 offensive boards to a single player.

[underground629]

Definitely thankful for that. I originally thought there would be no stream.

[jjsinmn]

agreed it was good to watch some gopher basketball and hey there are two more games in Canada to watch coming up

[EG#9]

I saw most of the second half, but that's really not enough to make any real judgments about the teams. Some things that stood out to me-

Mbakwe- Really impressed me with his athleticism
Hollins- was the pleasant surprise for me, he had a couple plays that showed more athleticism than I though he had, certainly looked taller than the initial 6'3 report, and had a really nice display of ballhandling on one play.
Walker- Really needs to lose weight, but uses his size well and has a soft touch. If his explosion off the floor improves as his weight drops he could be a really nice player. Watching his full court press attempt was entertaining, he certainly played hard.

[GibsonSG]

I think Mo can be effective against weak, unathletic, or undersized centers, but I think he'll struggle for hte most part this year in the Big Ten unless he loses some weight.

I only remember him shooting 2 free throws but I really hope that's how he shoots them all the time. Looks to have a nice soft touch. Walker (and Eliason) struggled with body contact though and were easily stripped of the ball...not surprising for freshmen.

He did have 9 rebounds but that's hard to gauge against this competition.

[underground629]

He definitely played well after a rough start. Trevor also looks to have a nice FT for a big. Pretty smooth looking. He's also definitely going to be fouled quite a bit.

[Monty519]

I think I recall seeing Rodney was 1 for 7 from the field, but only 0 for 1 downtown, where were most of his shots taken? Just like midrange jumpers? Drives to the hoop?

[underground629]

He had one nice reverse that almost went in, but other than that, lots of ill-advised shots. A couple of very deep 2s that weren't exactly wide-open shots. A few awkward layup attempts.

[Go Gophs eh?]

I did notice he was more willing to handle the ball and didnt look akward doing it (rodney), i think he can have a big year this year, we'll see.

[march madness]

First view of the new guys for me. I was impressed with Trevor and Hollins. Walker had a nice game, but he needs to lose 30 lbs. Rodney Williams was non-existant in 25 minutes! Sampson was invisible and got the ball stolen by 6' players. Iverson had a lot of turnovers but did a few nice things. Devoe was chucking it, and making them. Nolen is so important to this team. He knows when to push it and when to back it out.

Sampson 7 points , 7 rebounds and 1 turnover. Iverson 7 points 5 rebounds 5 turnovers. Take off rose colored glasses.

[underground629]

One turnover for Sampson? I could've sworn he had mroe than that
