***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS PENN STATE BTT 1ST ROUND IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[GophersInIowa]

Our guys are gassed.

I don’t understand why Penn St isn’t trying to push the ball up quickly. Like you said, it’s clear we’re gassed.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

He has been a disaster but that last shot was more on Willis than on him. If the shot clock is at six seconds and Peyton Willis has the ball he shouldn’t be throwing it to Eric Curry at the three-point line

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Johnson needs to sub. With about 4:30 left in the first half he should of rested a couple of guys for a few minutes.

No.

 

[Angry]

No.

Correct

 

[RogueGopher]

Sutherlin made a layup :O

Points in the Paint

MN 12

PSU 8

WOW!

 

[Angry]

Ok boys if we play them 10 times they probably win 9. But not tonight boys…..

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

No.

Rather sub then vs late in the game/2nd half of 2nd half.

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

I love this obnoxious state farm ad that prevents you from seeing the clock tick down.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Well, it wasn't pretty but it's a lead. Now, if we can only petition the B1G for a 30-minute halftime.

 

[RogueGopher]

Sounds like Ben is already losing his voice

 

[skiumah1]

This would be a nice win for the boys, but this would be a worse loss for Penn St. I just don’t know.

 

[GopherBlood777]

It has really been since 1987 since we finished last, how did Pitino not finish last when he won 8 games for the season, was Rutgers worse that year?

If Ben is telling the truth and he looked for subs and the bench basically said "nah we're good" , that's ahhh wow.

They called a timeout. Good rest. They’re fine. This is probably their last winnable game. They have to nut up.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Damn - Wolves have scored 93 with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

 

[RogueGopher]

Yup. Rutgers was 1-17. Gophers were 2-16 and beat Rutgers as well.

It has really been since 1987 since we finished last, how did Pitino not finish last when he won 8 games for the season, was Rutgers worse that year?

Easy answer. Rutgers finished 1-17 in conference that year. We only won 2 conference games.

We just didn't have anyone really, really shitty this year.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Games are won in the 2nd half. The starters are gassed already. It’ll be worse last 10 minutes of the game.

 

[BTChamp]

Pleasantly surprised. Saw some issues, but also saw great effort. Hopefully TT can be the game changer in the 2nd half and make (4) 3s., and State Penn just quits.

 

[cjbfbp]

We sure did but that was only the first half and we had zero substitutions.

I'm afraid that you could easily be right.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Like to see Battle get some looks. Lundy is doing a good job on him.

 

[VanillaThunder]

Some poor coaching by PSU. They should have been pushing the tempo and pressuring our iron 5.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Gophers not in foul trouble. Really do not think Ben is going to sub unless someone gets injured.

Yup easy answer Pitino>Johnson

wait wut

 

[BTChamp]

Agree. I think they'll be ok physically, but I also thought I could ask out a supermodel. That didn't end well. We'll see how this turns out. If SPU (State Pen U) doesn't get Northwestern hot, Gophs have a good shot in this game.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

The film clips from the "big shorts" era really look goofy now.
