***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS COVID-POSTPONED IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Spaulding!No!]

Shut up and watch the game, this is the game thread not your constant whine thread about Ben.

Stop!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Dainja is an adult. I think he is Payne’s ceiling. Similar athletic profiles.

 

[howeda7]

Battle finally makes two shot in a row and trashtalks for a T. You can't make it up
What a shit roster this is

You're 1-13 and down 10. How TF does that happen?

 

[Gophers7633]

We just get absolutely nothing out of our SG spot. We're actually not doing that bad. Garcia, Battle and JOJ all playing well.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Need to start hitting shots, hanging around when it felt like it could easily get out of hand

 

[Outsider]

And we

You're 1-13 and down 10. How TF does that happen?

cause you don’t think there was some coming from their bench as well.

 

[jblass]

JOJ keeps getting better and better!

 

[scools12]

Ola-J appears to be the only one if the freshman that has a basketball IQ.

 

[BTChamp]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 FREE THROWS N A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT ONE TIME!!!!!.

 

[howeda7]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 FREE THROWS N A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT ONE TIME!!!!!.

Three was too much to ask for.

 

[jblass]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 FREE THROWS N A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT ONE TIME!!!!!.

Don’t get too excited, there’s a lot of game time left to rectify that.

 

[BTChamp]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 FREE THROWS N A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT ONE TIME!!!!!.

And follow it up with a miss on a one and one to close the gap.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

If there is one thing you could do to contribute to the team, Braeden Carrington, it would be to make a goddamn free-throw. Jesus.

 

[BTChamp]

Don’t get too excited, there’s a lot of game time left to rectify that.

I know. I always think. "please make at least 1 and I'm usually disappointed.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

I’m pretty sure there has never been an uglier, more off-putting, more horribly named player in the Big Ten than Coleman Hawkins.

Asking a PG or shooting guard to make FT's is a huge ask on this team.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

I'll take being 6 down as bad as we played

 

[Gilthorp57]

I’m pretty sure there has never been an uglier, more off-putting, more horribly named player in the Big Ten than Coleman Hawkins.

And he's always crying

 

[gophereric30]

Could have hit 2 free throws to cut it to one, miss front end now down 6 instead. Brutal.

 

[Duker]

I’m so disappointed in Carrington, he’s so lacking in confidence. His shooting is abysmal and outside of a couple of rebounds he does nothing to think anything is going to get any better.

 

[leib0039]

Garcia JOJ and Payne....outside of those 3 I don't know that we need any of the others back next year.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Duker is watching you

 

[jblass]

Might as well miss the layup to finish the half. We shoot ourselves in the foot a couple dozen times and still are only down by six. Go figure. Got to stop the bleeding.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Once again a scoring drought killed them. Had a 6+ minute stretch with just 2 points. Seems to happen every game.

In case you forgot you are Mr Basketball!

 

[howeda7]

who's the ugly goon who played for Iowa for about 12 years in the 90's/early 2000's?

 

[cjbfbp]

Well, that could have gone a little better but overall a pretty decent close in the final minutes of the half. Why is it that we can never get more than two or three guys to play well in a single game on this team? Also, Cooper seems to have completely lost it. Earlier in the year he could hit some shots and drive to the bucket on occasion. He just drove to the bucket with real speed but couldn't finish uncontested. Hundred dollar move with a ten cent finish.

 

[GophersInIowa]

We just get absolutely nothing out of our SG spot. We're actually not doing that bad. Garcia, Battle and JOJ all playing well.

0 points from our guards in the 1st half.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I don’t think the Gophers are playing bad. I think they are just bad and are playing normal. Illinois let a lead slip away. Gophers are in this if they can limit turnovers. Illini clearly missing Shannon. Time to win is now.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Garcia remains consistent. Battle and JOJ helping out. Not sure what the other guys are doing. Need someone else to show up this half if we're going to steal one.
