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

[Hunglikeafieldmouse]

Get f’n Battle out of the game!!!!

 

[mnhoopboy]

Battle has checked out.

 

[BTChamp]

Hopefully get it under single digits.

 

[upnorthkid]

Glad to see Carrington hit some shots. Will absolutely help his confidence for next year

 

[GoodasGold]

Rebounds!!

 

[upnorthkid]

Thank god I was worried the refs wouldn’t call another foul

 

[Bad Gopher]

Didn’t ducking touch young on the and 1. Ffs

No contact at all

 

[stocker08]

The difference in how they're calling this game on each end is so painfully obvious. I would be fine if Johnson had been T'd up twice at this point.

It's been very lopsided on what's allowed.

 

[skiumah1]

Good improvement last couple weeks. Long way to go though, man.

 

[upnorthkid]

Lmao it’s just comical watching these refs right now.

 

[mnhoopboy]

When they try to run a high low they have Payne wayyyyy too close to Garcia. He needs to be above the free throw line.

This has been the case all season. At some point you have to demand that your players execute.

 

[BTChamp]

They played very well compared to earlier parts of the season. Learning and nice to see Henley and Payne do well. Carrington will be a stud. Good building blocks.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

He’s 3/13 dude. He was like 0/6 in the first half

It just can’t be, because that might mean someone in maroon and gold might have played well.

 

[Bad Gopher]

I like my teams like I like my women: fundamentally sound.

This is my team, but they're hard to watch.

 

[Wet_Blanket_Guy]

He’s 3/13 dude. He was like 0/6 in the first half

I’m not saying he lets defense was bad, but you can’t say it’s great. He fouled out with like 7:30 left. That’s not good in any game

 

[MNVCGUY]

Glad to see Carrington hit some shots. Will absolutely help his confidence for next year

Could learn to love that rainbow 3 of his if he can hit them like he has tonight.

Freshman played well tonight....unfortunately they didn't get any help from Garcia and Battle.

Ended the year on a high note playing some of their best basketball of the season. Going to be an interesting off season to see what happens roster wise.

Where have you gone, Blake Hoffharber...
We've got to find some shooters in the portal. Somewhere.

Payne played great. He took advantage of a small team. Beasted them

I like my women to turnover….but not this much.

 

[upnorthkid]

Keep the 4 plus Garcia together. An absolute must from Ben.

Confer with someone else.

 

[upnorthkid]

Battle with one final clank. Fitting

 

[skiumah1]

Keep the 4 plus Garcia together. An absolute must from Ben.

Absolutely. I'm sure we will hear quickly on players' decisions.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

10 straight losses to Maryland. Yuck.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Battle, Garcia, and Cooper combined to score 13 of 54. The other 41 came from the freshmen.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Keep the 4 plus Garcia together. An absolute must from Ben.

Now we hold our breath.

 

[matt]

Battle/Garcia/Cooper: 5-22, 13 pts, 7 TOs
4 freshmen: 15-24, 41 pts, 6 TOs

 

[Gopherbbdude]

And so it ends.....sigh

 

[kg21]

Where have you gone, Blake Hoffharber...

We have to find a big and some physicality. We have to find two back players in the portal.

We are miles away.

 

[bga1]

Now we hold our breath.

Really no reason for them not to stick together. They all have a clear opportunity here. Unless there is an issue with the relationship with Ben, which I highly doubt, it makes sense that they stay.
