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

[howeda7]

Question is: If you could choose any Gopher to be an analyst, who would you want it to be?

DJ

 

[MplsGopher]

No way that hair is real!

 

[MNVCGUY]

Good half, neither team could miss. Hopefully we shoot that well in the second half. Hopefully Payne's back is ok.

"with electrolytes."

 

[MNVCGUY]

Has BTN ever hired a former Gopher to do color?

In football yes....

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

There are 86 schools in the conference. Not hard to keep bias out of the color spot.

 

[RogueGopher]

Brad underwood really just referred to Hawkins as "that little kid"...really dude?
What an asshole.

Everything we could ask.

Only 1 team turnover and Hawk had 5 assists.

Yeah....Underwood has always come across as a complete tool.

 

[MplsGopher]

Appeared to be wearing one of these:

Just to keep it loose

We need to find a way to get some stops. I don't know how, as that is a very good Illini offense. I didn't realize they were 4th in KenPom Offense.

Hopefully just keep scoring and get timely stops when needed.

you'd think he'd happen to know the name of the player that makes our entire offense go.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Defense is gonna have to make some stops to have a chance.

Illinois has some impressive athletes. They feel like a team that could make a run in the NCAA tournament or get bounced in the first game.

Hopefully someone from the U heard that and got word to the players......give Hawkins a little extra juice for the second half

yep they don't play d so if the shots aren't falling it's going to be a short one in the tourney. On the offensive end they're going to give a ton of teams trouble.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Hopefully Payne's back is ok.

I suspect he was taken out more because of getting his second foul than his back. He was wearing that brace but maybe he wears that on the bench most of the time.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

I wanna see a replay of that no goaltend at the end

I was clean.... rewinded it

 

[Gilthorp57]

Yeah....Underwood has always come across as a complete tool.

And a bad looking Jimmy Swagart Televangelist

 

[upnorthkid]

only one turnover in the first half. great to see them take care of the ball and hopefully me saying that is not a jinx for the second half

Well we know who to blame if the turnovers pile up in the second half.

I don’t think it’s as much a brace as it is heat and maybe a TENS type thing.

 

[Unregistered User]

Yeah....Underwood has always come across as a complete tool.

In his defense, he wasn’t trying to be an asshole with that comment.

It’s just that he IS an asshole, and happened to make that asshole comment.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

A few sketchy passes guys, tighten up please

 

[Gilthorp57]

Is it my imagination or does Shannon always get bailed out when he drives to the basket out of control?

It isn't your imagination.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

CAN'T RELAX AFTER A MADE BASKET!!!!

 

[MplsGopher]

Wow! Then doh!

 

[upnorthkid]

lot of offense and shotmaking on display for both teams tonight.
