This was a very rough game, with players nearly coming to blows. The score board did not show any game statistics. On the whole it was not a good Gopher performance. Give the Spartans some credit for that.
I see that most of you have found internet sites that stream the game. So I will be brief.
We won but it was sloppy. Hoffarber made some critical buckets, especially down the stretch. But, he turned the ball over again and again on terrible passes. Al was steady. But, he got in early foul trouble and Devoe had to take over the point. Mo was still the best big man for the Gophers. But, he was often left behind as the game moved up and down the court. Mbakwe had some high flying rebounds and baskets. But, it became painfully apparent that he has no touch once he is any distances from the hoop. Rodney again played good defense and rebounded well. he also had a couple of big slams. But, once again he missed every jumper he put up. I think Hollins Only had one bucket. Ahanmisi played with more confidence tonight. But he did not score .
Players that played better were Joseph. He again made some great shots. This guy has to start. He did finish the game. Iverson played better even through he and Trevor were engaged in hand to hand combat all night.
Somebody asked for more news about Eliason. But, there is little to tell. He gets in. He maybe gets a rebound and he sits down.
Sampson did not play. His ankle was taped and he was limping. He did dress and was walking without any aid.
