***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN STATE AT MINNESOTA BIG TEN OPENER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

Is it just me or are these refs not very consistent at the rim?

JFC

 

[BarnBurner]

So... is this year zero for Ben?

Yup.

 

[GoldenMAV30266]

Lololol refs came straight from celebrity death match

 

[Gopherbbdude]

How in the fk can that not be a foul

 

[howeda7]

Unbelievable with that amount of contact.

In football they'd be reviewing targeting.

 

[skiumah1]

Says the guy whose fault it is.

Haha I hear ya

 

[GophersInIowa]

 

[GoGophersUMN]

They shouldn't be surprised when things get out of control later when they let them get away with that.

 

[bc2211]

Let the boos rain in. Don’t interrupt with cheap time out noise…

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

What? Get a T Johnson. Let refs know they need to call the game

 

[howeda7]

It's an 8 point game with decent officiating.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

What the f**k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Refs... banking in Michigan since 1999

 

[cjbfbp]

We need a Gene Hackman speech perhaps?

Even a Bluto Blutarsky speech wouldn't help tonight.

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

Damn. Thats one of the worst no calls Ive seen

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Nice deflection. 1 for 10 on 3’s.
Shooters shoot better against # 20? Or what ranking does the shooting improve?

Usually better teams play better defense. Hence why they are better.
You’re judging off one game when there is a larger sample size. Why? To fit a narrative.

I remember when the Xavier coach mentioned Bens demenaour, he is always cool as ice.

It would he surprising to see him get upset enough for a T

Make shots and it’s an 8 point game. Fouls 6 MSU and Gophers 5 first half

With convenient branches in Indiana and Madison, WI.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Nice

 

[Cayman]

A 12 point game

11 point game!

 

[skiumah1]

Pitinos team would have quit by now, I had to say it.

 

[mnhoopboy]

This team plays extremely hard. Effort won't be an issue this year.

 

[MRJ]

I like the way they're competing. Just outgunned. And that last no call was absolutely atrocious. Inexcusable for Division I level refs to miss that total hack.

 

[Dakota2]

wow! What an offensive performance in the first half. Just glad I gave my tickets up. We were promised good defense, must have missed it during the first half. Same ole’, same ole’ as last year. At least BJ showed some common sense with his mask.

Take a nice hot bubble bath. It's not safe out here for you.

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

Lets gooooo!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I’m gonna be honest and I’m basing this off of part of one game but the offense isn’t inspiring. Lots of 3s, not a lot of movement. When they move they get good results but it’s a ton of standing. If you’re missing tons of 3s—find other shots.

Defensively they have been fun to watch. Michigan St is good.

 

[RolGnav]

Willis is such a ball hog, a pass would have been an easy dunk.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

MSU can't miss

 

[howeda7]

Daniels trying to break his guy down is not what we want. At all. Uff da.
