***OFFICIAL OHIO STATE AT MINNESOTA IN-BATTLE THREAD!!!***

[Tully55]

Hawkins with his MN career high pts

 

[FinnGopher]

Hawkins making Chatman look like a rook! Pro move there.

True, but Bruce Thornton is going to play at the next level as a point guard.

 

[GringaGopher]

That's some authentic excitement! Love it!

Come on now - hit those FT's. Don't let OSU get on a run.

Our PG missing FT’s but Payne/ Fox looked good @ the line tonight.

Why in the world did Carrington shoot that get im out of there.

Especially Carrington. He hasn't made a 3 since the Iowa game I don't think.

 

[rivergopher]

True, but Bruce Thornton is going to play at the next level as a point guard.

You really think so? He is a slower physical guard that is a poor shooter, I do not see it. The couple of sites I look at do not even him listed in the top 60. He will be a pro but I do not see it in the NBA.

 

[howeda7]

Game not over.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

The sphincters are getting tighter.

 

[FinnGopher]

You reall think so? He is a slower physical guard that is a poor shooter, I do not see it.

He is in the mold of Conley who plays for the Wolves. He knows how to use his body and play the game. He is consistent.

 

[Gilthorp57]

With that first quick step and able to kick it into another gear, yeah he'll get a look-see

 

[howeda7]

You have to stop the ball or this last minute will take an hour. Have to force them to use 10-15 seconds at least.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Should have bet the over.

 

[stocker08]

Hawkins having a great game.

 

[howeda7]

Could we struggle getting the ball in any more?

 

[Gilthorp57]

Why do we have Christie taking the ball out there....

 

[rivergopher]

He is in the mold of Conley who plays for the Wolves. He knows how to use his body and play the game. He is consistent.

Mike Conley JR is 45 pounds lighter than him. They do not play at all the same. He is also a 39% 3 PT shooter. Thorton is a 32% 3pt shooter. Conley does not get to the rim, he is a floater and spot up shooter. Like I said anything I have looked at his name is not even mentioned. He will be a pro but dont see his game translating to the NBA.

 

[howeda7]

CBS sure loves Ohio State.

 

[GringaGopher]

Don’t compound the TO with a foul …

 

[007gopherfan]

Cmon Gophers....lets finish this. don't dribble if you don't have too.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Turnover and a foul - the butt-puckering is approaching critical mass.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

He shouldn't see any time. Too many lapses on both ends of the court. Glad Fox had taken his minutes.

Agreed. They’re playing great basketball as a team right now. Ola, Joseph is an individual player. He has talent and he can score when the team is falling apart around him. But when they’re playing well together, he just doesn’t fit. He’s going to need to adjust his game greatly.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

MM...what was that

 

[BrooklynGopher]

BOYS - I just made $400 on this game let's gooooooo

 

[howeda7]

For God's sake they make this laughably hard.

 

[FinnGopher]

He needs to take a cue from Fox and accept the junkyard dog role.

 

[GophersInIowa]

That’s not a foul

 

[Homerpalooza]

Mitchell you donkey. Gophers playing extra low BB IQ right now.

 

[BrooklynGopher]

I have to say, I love the CBJ haters. what a joke. Give him an empty roster and kill him for not winning. When he wins, it's a fluke. This team is seriously dancing. Eyes up. Drool cups down please.

 

[BrooklynGopher]

NIGHT NIGHT OSU

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Watching Gopher basketball - like being a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
