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

[UpAndUnder43]

You initiated the comparison of ranking vs shooting %. I didn’t say season. I said this game. Lay by your dish.

And you changed the argument. Done dealing with trolls. Sorry man. Have a good night.

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

Keep fighting guys!

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

The one thing I dont like from the box score.

last year when the 3 wasnt working, Pitino didnt change a thing.

Same thing is happening tonight.

 

[big10guy]

Nobody goes to offensive boards. Ever. Only time we have is Loewe's game winning tap in. We don't even have anyone inside the arc. So when shots aren't falling, we've got nothing.

 

[howeda7]

Way to not quit.

 

[Angry]

Our Net/kenpom is improving.

 

[skiumah1]

I’m impressed either way at this point

 

[matt]

Keep fighting guys!

They heard you.

 

[RogueGopher]

The Gophers will not be an easy out this year. They fight hard all game. Love to see it

 

[howeda7]

Agreed, I've been a casual fan since 2018-19 and came to this one, not sure if I'll be back this year. It's one thing to lose but losing by double digits at home is frustrating. The game day experience is worse than I remember which doesn't help either.

I do like that they keep fighting, the last two years it seems like they'd give up once they were down by 10+ and it would just keep getting worse.

What's worse about the game day experience?

 

[skiumah1]

I don’t know if you need to go back to Willis here…

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

Let’s keep it going.

Life is more enjoyable with BarnBurner on ignore.

 

[Homerpalooza]

getting it to single digits is a moral victory.

Well, up until a couple minutes ago Minnesota was getting murdered down low with no calls so they really couldn’t do anything other than jump shots

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

I will not give up on these guys. MSU better keep on playing their best as our guys will not give up

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Good stuff!! Love the fight.

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

If we lose by single digits, with this roster and more importantly lack of bench, Ill take it against State.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Life is more enjoyable with BarnBurner on ignore.

Yep…just did it.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

IF the Gophers would have shot better at 3's.....

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

I see. Im keeping track on espn. Have no clue whats happening outside the numbers

 

[MNVCGUY]

Yeah, only the determined trolls won't be impressed by this team. They are out-gunned, the 3's aren't falling for us and MSU is making a ton but they keep battling. This team is going to win some games by outworking people. Fun to watch.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

Story of the game. Stephens misses, Brown makes. Game over.

 

[GoGophersUMN]

What's worse about the game day experience?

1. Traffic/parking were awful, it took 15 minutes to go the last 2 miles. Not all of the lanes in the ramp were open and they were only taking cards which slowed it down.
2. Really not a fan of the mask thing
3. The crowd has been quiet, although I'm guessing that's different for bigger games and when they are more competitive early

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

Weve taken 10 more total shots than state

 

[GoldenMAV30266]

I see. Im keeping track on espn. Have no clue whats happening outside the numbers

Murder, murder is happening.

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

Come on boys! Lets knock down a few more shots.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Fuck Izzo. My second least favorite coach in the country

 

[Outsider]

Honestly, the difference in the game is that our threes did not fall early and we got down. Casual fans can leave, they will win some games. It will be an enjoyable season for me.

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

Ben looks very in control. I’ve been impressed with his coaching tonight.
