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

[stocker08]

Can we ever have one 'hot' half of shooting, ever?

We had a few minutes of hot shooting. That's all we get.

 

[Tully55]

0 for last 9

 

[skyman31]

We hit first, they bounced back. Showed we can play with them, just gotta keep doing it.

 

[stocker08]

Is that 11 straight misses now?

 

[LesBolstad]

The last 5 minutes is why Ricky won't be here next year, and should have gone a couple years ago.
This garbage goes on nearly every game.

 

[matt]

We might as well just hand them the ball on offense with these terrible shots.

 

[GopherGangsta]

The ass whoopin is on and Pitino just stands there

 

[skyman31]

Carr looking bad. Trying to take over.

 

[Tully55]

Bad shot selection really forcing it

 

[Tully55]

Finally

 

[matt]

Illinois looks beatable but I don’t know if the Gophers will take advantage...

 

[WriterGoph]

We are battling. Happy to see that.

Hopefully the road games where we are out of it from the tip are a thing of the past

 

[skyman31]

Not sure if that was pitino calling it or just carr, but I like specifically having gach bring the ball up there. Need to get the ball in his hands a bit

 

[GringaGopher]

Love how their guards are repeatedly making lay ups while we shoot fade aways and 3's.

 

[fair]

I can't remember having a team that actually had good shot selection for an entire game.

 

[Gopher Teeth]

Shooting 27% from the field on the road and only down by 3

 

[scools12]

Too much dribbling, standing around and Curry taking 3s not the looks you want on the offensive end.

Yet hanging in.

 

[Tully55]

Starters(not including Robbins)......2-16.FG

 

[GringaGopher]

Gach normally finishes his drives. Not so far tonight.

 

[Tully55]

Love how their guards are repeatedly making lay ups while we shoot fade aways and 3's.

Robbins 2-2 .....all else 2-9

 

[howeda7]

You have to play Freeman against Cockburn if you're not going to bring Robbins back in.

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

That rim is being cruel, too. Yuck.

 

[scools12]

I have no clue what the Gophers are trying to do on the offensive end. Absolutely no flow to this offense.

 

[GopherGangsta]

The blowout is on....5-0 against scrubs does not prepare u for B10 play

 

[scools12]

The next 5 minutes are huge. This could get ugly in a hurry.

 

[howeda7]

20-3 run. Remindful of the a@% whooping we got at Illinois a couple years ago.

 

[Tully55]

I have no clue what the Gophers are trying to do on the offensive end. Absolutely no flow to this offense.

Jack up as many 3s as you can....maybe one might go in

 

[topos]

Run offense. So bad.

 

[scools12]

Jack up as many 3s as you can....maybe one might go in

That appears to be the game plan.

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

Announcer is right about our rebounding. How do we not crash boards? Gophers look so uninterested in rebounds its unnerving.
