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

[TwistingMyMelon]

Is the Caitlin Clark State Farm commercial the only one they have? I like the Andy Reid ones better. He's actually funny.

 

[GoodasGold]

Garcia showed up tonight.

Also.....crowd full of nerds.

Dweebs

 

[howeda7]

Well, that's it. Garcia is a lottery pick. He's gone.

#$% it!

 

[SHGopher]

Garcia has 12 points. The X factor. He can't be shut down, and he's not.

Hawkins has 3.

Payne missed that shot he should have made. Need a solid game from him.

I think Gophers can win this one. Need to work it inside and shoot well enough elsewhere.

 

[Gophers7633]

Man, outside of the 2nd half against PSU the defense has been pretty bad the last month. Gotta be better on that side of the ball.

 

[howeda7]

Carrington made a 3!

 

[SHGopher]

Bang! Carrington with a 3!

Plus his D!

Horrid.

 

[rivergopher]

Our defense is just really poor the last few weeks. What ever transfer the bring in has to be able to defend.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I meant in conference. The nonconference competition is no longer relevant. Even in those conference games where we've won by a decent margin, it was a struggle to get there.

I think 55% of their conference wins have been by 9+. Seems good to me. Sorry if you don’t like how they got there. Not really relevant wins are wins. Decisive wins are decisive wins.

Dweebs

Dweebs and geeks rule the world......while the jocks pump their gas.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

No travel...fouled big time

 

[SHGopher]

Probably play Fox as much as possible?

Payne 0-2.

 

[jblass]

How did they miss the foul on Fox’s basket?

 

[howeda7]

Payne WTF was that pass.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Just turned it on. Northwestern scored 49 earlier in the week. On pace for nearly 100 tonight.

 

[rivergopher]

A month ago Payne looked like he was emerging. He has regressed.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

What's with all these concussions lately?

Gotta get their heads in the game.

 

[howeda7]

A month ago Payne looked like he was emerging. He has regressed.

I think that's a good thing per certain GH posters...

 

[stocker08]

Mitchell has carried his trash play from Wednesday into this game.

 

[bga1]

Man, outside of the 2nd half against PSU the defense has been pretty bad the last month. Gotta be better on that side of the ball.

Yep- our defense is horrid. We are allowing points at a 90 point pace.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

These refs are absolutely fucking clueless

 

[howeda7]

Payne and Mitchell struggling mightily. Will have to use Carrington and Fox more.

 

[SHGopher]

Where is Garcia? He has 1 foul, right?

Unless fatigue was the issue last game???

 

[howeda7]

Down more than 10 in the first half. It's going to plan.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

If Ben doesn’t mix up his coaching staff after this year…I’m done with Ben c

 

[GophersInIowa]

The defensive effort down the stretch has been terrible.

 

[howeda7]

He won't. Doogie was saying a few weeks ago how thrilled they are with the staff.

 

[rivergopher]

The defensive effort down the stretch has been terrible.

He has to develop a bench next year guards averaging almost 38 minutes clearly has not helped on the defensive side of the ball.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

They're getting too much space on the perimeter. The first game should have taught them that these guys don't miss if they have time and space. They're also not cutting off NW's drives.
