***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA STATE NIT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Gopher Ally]

We’re coming! Lucky their missing wide open threes!

 

[Ewert86PC]

Someone defend this coaching staff.

Good God it's like Jr high girls basketball. No fucking idea what they are even trying to accomplish.

No wonder Izzo wants them to stay.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

We’re down 10. Payne has now missed 5 easy shots he would normally make. Fox missed two and 1s he often finishes. And those two have missed at least 5 FTs.

That’s your game.

And I don’t say this to blame them or complain about them necessarily. Because they’re the two guys giving about the best effort out there today too. They just need to finish.

 

[holereader]

Indiana State moves without the ball. We don't. Watch Christie on the wing. He just stands there hoping for a pass and a 3 point shot

And Christie doesn’t understand this and he’s getting schooled defensively out there

 

[Gopherbbdude]

5 pt game

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Hmmm. Getting interesting.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Mitchell avoids travel call by not having a suitcase.

 

[upnorthkid]

people do realize indiana state scores 85 points a game right? We're right in this thing

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

That's funny! The announcer almost said Payne missed the layup. To be fair, it looked like he was going to for half a second.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Damn. Garcia is a terrible ball-handler.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Damn. Garcia is a terrible ball-handler.

He has the hands of an offensive lineman.

 

[Gopher Ally]

Garcia can’t pull his head out

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

CBJ needs to do something else with his arms

 

[Bad Gopher]

How bad can the Gophers play and still be in this game!?

 

[GophersInIowa]

Why have they not figured out how to handle these double teams? We looked confused every time like it was totally unexpected even though we've seen it almost all the time the past 15 games or so.

 

[upnorthkid]

How bad can the Gophers play and still be in this game!?

and now without Hawk. Have 5 assists on 19 FGs (with 11 TOs) but are still right there.

 

[Unregistered User]

I think every player that gets minutes from ISU can come back next year.

 

[Dsigma42]

For you none mitchell believers, Mitchell is a good point guard.

 

[howeda7]

For you none mitchell believers, Mitchell is a good point guard.

Why is the offense running better with him? He's a better PG than Hawkins or because Carrington is a better SG than Mitchell?

 

[upnorthkid]

FTs rearing their head again. 8/15 vs ISU 10/11

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

What was the play we failed to execute there?

Nice try Howard.

I asked you to name a play that you’d want to run and crickets.

I played organized baseball from middle school through HS and there were plays called in those situations; you to imply one wasn’t called is inane. I never said it was a good one and I also want the action to start sooner.

Ben is getting his 4th year and you’ll have plenty of Twins & Vikings games to keep you busy until then.

I won’t wait for your reply in what play you’d recommend.

I love music, but I couldn’t for the life of me, tell you what a band did right or wrong in a concert - I don’t have that experience or knowledge. Getting older sux a lot, especially the sick part of it, but I no longer am an expert on everything and anything - that provides some peace in my life.

Excuse me while zi go back to enjoying our comeback, kiddo

 

[Bad Gopher]

They are def an NCAA team. Would've been great to watch them play in the Dance.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

For every basket and pretty shot, Christie makes, he gives at least one or two more up on the other end. He is nowhere near a complete player yet.

 

[Gopher Ally]

Christy will fit in the NBA well as they don’t play defense

Carrington is a plus defender. I'm not sure anyone else in the 7 man rotation is.

this. he would be unplayable at the NBA level on D.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

What a dumb foul.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Thorson on the court screaming. CBJ stands, arms folded....

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

6 bunnies missed now for Payne….

 

[bga1]

We are an awful defensive team.
