2/7 from three.. Did Ohio St not start him at the proper position? Improper usage? Is that why he missed WIDE open shots?…. I know it’s only one game.. I will put myself on ignore for a couple days…

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Scored 9 in the first half then zero in the second

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Big miss letting this guy walk.

They're playing him at the right position and he's hitting shots on a much better team than the 2022-2023 Minnesota Gophers.

I wish Jamison had gone anywhere besides ohio. (Except Wisconsin, Iowa, and Notre Dame ) I can't stand that school. Yes, I am biased.

I do hope all the best for the young man, but I hope we shut him down when he plays us this year.

He's a Minnesota kid who at least didn't pick Wisconsin like the d-bags in Lakeville do. He seems like a nice guy. Sorry his e-bike got stolen on campus. Maybe he would have stayed had his bike not been pilfered.

There’s a player on our squad that will certainly fulfill your wish…..BETTS!

None of that; A game with Betts is looming…

He was injured last year...made a big difference.

and he is not playing that good at Ohio and he's healthy

He's playing alright and the shot is going down.

Small sample size but he's rebounding slightly better and shooting better than ever.

We laugh now, but all of our players still have to practice against Betts all year. What do you think that does for their development and confidence?

Does he get booed or cheered when he returns to the Barn in February?

Once again, he is a Minnesota kid, so I hope he does good at the same time he left he doesn’t play anymore so who really cares and yes, he should get booed when he comes back to the barn

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Does he get booed or cheered when he returns to the Barn in February?

He should get booed but maybe the fan base will cut him some slack because of the obvious PTSD he had to go through getting defended by Betts in practice.

 

[Bad Gopher]

I will boo the shit out of him.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

I will boo the shit out of him.

Your commitment is admirable

You're saying Betts won't transfer to ohio, wisconsin, iowa, or not-the-damn?

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Battle likely deserves our pity and not our scorn. He got fed up with some of the same things that bother gopher fans.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

We can only hope so, destroy them from within.

 

[Bad Gopher]

First time watching him this year tonight, and it might be my imagination, but he looks slimmer and lighter on his feet.

9 points on 7 shots
Looks like a nice win for OSU...

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Keeping Battle is Ben’s biggest loss. He fooled around and found out.

He's played all right at OSU (for the most part, better than here last season) but it's clear he's not a go-to guy at OSU; kind of a blue collar supporting player there and that's probably a good role for him.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Keeping Battle is Ben’s biggest loss.

That doesn't even make sense.

 

[Roland Brooks]

How did he shoot tonight against good comp?

 

[Roland Brooks]

Correct usage or incorrect usage tonight? Or good looks and missed open shots? Someone fill me in please?

What about what position he played? Was a 3 or a 4?!?

Disagree
