***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MARYLAND IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[jblass]

And just like that, in the blink of an eye, we are down by eight. I’ve seen this show too many times.

Had Payne wide open and Ola-J refused to pass it.

He never does. It’s odd

 

[bga1]

There's that streak of bad plays that loses games for these guys. Playing better but...
The series starts with Garcia missing a FT, then Ola Joseph fails to pass to an open Payne, then two threes by Maryland and it's an 8 point run....so far.

Edit: 15 point run until Henley hits...ugh.

 

[USAF]

Had Payne wide open and Ola-J refused to pass it.

I've been told JOJ's lack of assists isn't due to not passing the ball.

 

[stocker08]

Where the hell is the foul?

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Terps on 23-7 run. Gophers cannot have empty possessions.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Here comes the scoring drought

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Aw man,….

 

[scools12]

He never does. It’s odd

The amount of dumb plays this squad makes per game is truly amazing.

Can it all be attributed to youth? I would say at this point of the season that is an excuse.

Gophers are a team with a low overall basketball IQ.

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

JOJ needs to sit. D

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Bottom line - Maryland finishing their drives. Gophers missing.

You forgot Payne going against a double team instead of passing out.

 

[scools12]

I've been told JOJ's lack of assists isn't due to not passing the ball.

It would seem getting an assist would require passing the ball.

 

[howeda7]

This teams inability to play defense is alarming and won't be easily fixed.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Ugh

 

[Roland Brooks]

Garcia unnecessary ball fake

 

[howeda7]

Probably won't lose by 35 this time. Probably will lose by 20. Progress!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Can't stop them at all. They're going to score 80.

That’s only 5 points above the average conference opponent.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Is Battle playing? I’m passively watching and he has taken 1 shot and has 1 rebound.

 

[holereader]

Oh Is this team painful to watch - poor shooting, poor defense, turnovers and throw in a bunch of ticky tack fouls and we have another rerun of a beat down - same every game - where is Pilgram telling us we just need to recruit and wait this out for a few years - hopeless

 

[bga1]

Probably won't lose by 35 this time. Probably will lose by 20. Progress!

The pregame comment was beautiful. The Gophers "only lost their last three games by 33" ..."their previous three games they lost by 90"..."so they are playing better!"

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Probably won't lose by 35 this time. Probably will lose by 20. Progress!

Ultimate Moral Victory!

Maybe his arm is sore from all the shots he took on Monday.

 

[Roland Brooks]

Is Battle playing? I’m passively watching and he has taken 1 shot and has 1 rebound.

He will get hot with 10 minutes left in the second half

 

[howeda7]

Just your standard 23-4 run.

 

[Hunglikeafieldmouse]

Isn’t Thorson supposed to be a defensive specialist? I think he may need to go if that is the case.

 

[BTChamp]

Probably won't lose by 35 this time. Probably will lose by 20. Progress!

Per half......

 

[howeda7]

Isn’t Thorson supposed to be a defensive specialist? I think he may need to go if that is the case.

If the whole staff isn't gone, they at least need to make a change and add a veteran college coach.

 

[cjbfbp]

From tied to 21 down in about 7.5 minutes.

 

[Outsider]

And Henley with a shotput floater
