***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS NEBRASKA BTT WIN OR SEASON'S OVER IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Fortunately I have as much Gopher gear as it'll take to make it to the Final Four and not repeat an outfit. That said, by the national final, I'll be wearing only a Gopher sock on my schlong, a la Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Now im going to have nightmares

Ben admits his T was a dumb thing to do

And he’s WRONG! What a surprise he finally defended his players and naturally we got a couple calls.

 

[BTChamp]

Damn. They played hard, smart, and limited defensive lapses. Defense was good. nerdbraska wasn't comfortable because minnesota actually competed and showed some strength.

Obviously not perfect, but overcoming the early garbage, was big.

1 down, 4 to go

We face one of the two opponents who beat us by 35 points next. We already got our revenge for the other one.

 

[Gofurgold]

Yeah....he earned the T.....almost got an ejection but coaches and players held him back. He may say he regrets the T on TV but I don't think he did.....

That was his pitch to keep Jamo in maroon and gold for one more year

 

[Bad Gopher]

Now im going to have nightmares

Take something. You gotta get your sleep! 8 PM Gopher games the next two nights!

Damn. They played hard, smart, and limited defensive lapses. Defense was good. nerdbraska wasn't comfortable because minnesota actually competed and showed some strength.

Obviously not perfect, but overcoming the early garbage, was big.

Especially when you factor in the absolutely brutal start to the game. Spotted them 8 points before we actually showed up and started playing.

 

[cjbfbp]

Does this count as a conference win?

No, not officially.

 

[RogueGopher]

LFG!! SURVIVE AND ADVANCE!

Battle will he more rested than he would've otherwise after missing the last 9 minutes. Could actually be a blessing .

1 down 4 to go.

 

[MNVCGUY]

I really hope Henley stays......he is so raw but there is a really good player in there.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Does this count as a conference win?

Shit yes!

 

[Gophers7633]

Best game we've played all year IMO. Survive and advance. Even getting an extra game of experience in a BTT game is notable.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Take something. You gotta get your sleep! 8 PM Gopher games the next two nights!

Ambien to the rescue

 

[BTChamp]

Today we start the big push.

You are the magic dragon! Don't stop.

 

[RogueGopher]

We face one of the two opponents who beat us by 35 points next. We already got our revenge for the other one.

But it's hard to beat a team 3 times!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Love all the MN kudos post game.

 

[BleedGopher]

And he’s WRONG! What a surprise he finally defended his players and naturally we got a couple calls.

Agreed. It was the right time to get a T, and it paid off.

Go Gophers!!

Indiana is lucky they only beat us once...

 

[cjbfbp]

Defense was good tonight but we haven't seen this combination often during the season:

Field Goal Shooting: 51.9%
3 point shooting: 41.7%
Free throw shooting: 70%

 

[GopherBlood777]

I really hope we make it to Friday, we have won 2 of our last 3 now. Let's go!

 

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

 

[Bad Gopher]

This ain't no shit win. The Huskers have been the team you don't want to play lately. This is an impressive accomplishment.

 

[BTChamp]

Especially when you factor in the absolutely brutal start to the game. Spotted them 8 points before we actually showed up and started playing.

Big thing is they didn't quit.

 

[howeda7]

Even getting an extra game of experience in a BTT game is notable.

It's even better than extra practices before the Quicklane MicronPC.com Bowl....

First game I can truly remember where guys were drilling clutch shots.....all year other teams have been doing that to us....it was so nice to see us be the team making those shots for a change.

 

[Day1Fan]

Talon Cooper breaks Ben Johnson's assist record for the Gophers!

 

[Ogee Ogilthorpe]

Nice win!!!

Always good to beat the stinkin' Huskers, regardless of the sport! Big Red is dead!

 

[MNVCGUY]

This ain't no shit win. The Huskers have been the team you don't want to play lately. This is an impressive accomplishment.

100%....Nebraska has been playing really well lately and was right there in that jumbled mess in the middle of the conference. Very solid win.

 

[BTChamp]

This ain't no shit win. The Huskers have been the team you don't want to play lately. This is an impressive accomplishment.

Exactly. This is not a shit win. This was a team that failed all year and wasn't successful in the books. But they stayed together and didn't quit. They learned, improved, and made a statement together. Damn! I'm hoping things come together for the future. I want Ben to be successful here.
