***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS MARYLAND BTT 2ND ROUND IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[skiumah1]

Sophomore

Ah

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Need more O from Garcia and Battle, otherwise we’re gonna struggle to score enough points to win

 

[bga1]

Hanging around. Not playing great but staying in contact...

 

[skiumah1]

Concerned this press / pressure will wear us down.

 

[60's Guy]

You know how analytics are such a huge part of basketball at all levels? I don't think we utilize them. We keep taking shots we don't make, we continue to run offensive actions that result in turnovers, we take shots we don't make...Battle is way less effective off the dribble for instance...but he keeps trying.
Garcia to Payne high low works...Payne 1 on 1 low is money. Why does he get the ball down there so rarely?

 

[big10guy]

Extremely sloppy ball handling so far, can't afford that.

 

[Bad Gopher]

When will we guard Scott?

 

[GophersInIowa]

The guy defending Pharrell has 2 fouls. Would think it would make sense to get the ball down to him.

 

[skiumah1]

Need better guards ASAP.

Coaching?

 

[icepirate13]

Let’s work on getting the ball in after MD scores

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Need to score more points

How were the analytics last night “coach”?

4 turnovers just trying to get the ball across half court. I appreciate the assists, but an upgrade from Cooper will help immensely.

Easier said than done. We've got nobody that can give him a break.

 

[howeda7]

Even Battle can't make FT's.

 

[WriterGoph]

Battle looks like a mess in his own head tonight. Wow

 

[Bad Gopher]

Free throws

 

[GoodasGold]

Not getting the ball up court in time is infuriating.

It’s a mental thing, like missing free throws.

 

[CPTMidnight]

Gotta find ways to conserve the guard's energy and keep pounding it down low

 

[upnorthkid]

Yeah this has blowout double digit loss written all over it. Guys look gassed

 

[UpAndUnder43]

It’s a mental thing, like missing free throws.

It’s also coaching. Draw up a press break that is less effort than Cooper or Carrington trying to dribble.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Payne is a quick jumper. Unreal.

 

[Bad Gopher]

This team doesn't value the ball.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Someone teach the freshman to not foul constantly

 

[upnorthkid]

Officiating is wildly inconsistent tonight

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Young is a nice player

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

In a game like this the athletes of Maryland are tough on him. He has a tough time with foot speed.

And he thinks he's going to the NBA? He is outmatched by Maryland!!! He's delusional!

 

[WriterGoph]

Payne is a hustler
