***OFFICIAL PURDUE AT MINNESOTA AFTERNOON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[GFBfan]

Yeah Gabe is just ok at D

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

Gabe 4-7 from beyond the arc.

...Is it happening?

 

[GFBfan]

Good to see some smiles.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Gabe was good today. Carr, Johnson and Mash were good.

Thats a nice win. Don’t care how you wanna spin it

 

[#2Gopher]

Robbins could (should) have just let that one go.

This one could have haunted them. Not sure what he was thinking.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

BJ. Player of the game!!!

 

[skiumah1]

Still not a Pitino guy and thats not changing.

Great win though and I always support getting into the NCAA tournament. Bank is open

 

[Tully55]

Big boy pants time!

I finally got one right!

 

[GoodasGold]

I worked hard for that win. Utterly exhausted!

Gabe was great today. That defense on the last play said it all. This time he had the offense too.

And it was a great win! Couldn't have come at a better time.

Johnson was just a total blue collar stand up guy the whole game. Carr had the heroics when the team needed that.

Nobody expects that throw to happen. You look up and see a basketball flying at you, every instinct is to try to catch it. In hindsight, yeah you let that go but you don’t know who’s behind you or what’s gonna happen, and that’s so hard to do in the moment.

...Is it happening?

Would be great if it was!

 

[skyman31]

Feels like the biggest wins this year have been when Johnson has been a big part of the game. Feel like he’s the one guy that has the least frustrating plays of anyone on the team.

 

[GopherJake]

you mean the media timeouts he can’t control?

No. He often calls timeouts, as mentioned:

a. Right after we make a badly needed basket
b. Right before a media timeout

Today he hit the exacta when I posted that. Timeout after a much-needed basket. Play resumed, whistle after 10 seconds of play, media timeout. Total waste.

 

[PoockItInfor6]

Looks like James’ prediction on 247 was the EXACT score.

Very true.

 

[tikited]

That was fun. Loved the 4pm start and the result.

Hopefully that's a thumb for you hitching a ride off this message board.

He’s becoming my favorite player on this team because of what you say here.

Yes, somebody probably should have yelled "Let it go!" but I guess no one was watching that who was at that end of the basket.

So glad you premised your comments with a commentary about our coach.

Who the Fck Cares.........

If he had better hands or would have tried catching it with two he might have been able to control it and end the game.

GopherGangsta.....USAF........helloooooo.....where are you??????? I missed you today!

 

[tmvander]

Big win...great to see the players stepup at the end. Carr was clutch...gabe great game...Johnson great game...I'll save my critiques for another time lets enjoy a win

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Gabe 4-7 from beyond the arc.

My old dusty thread things so.

 

[Angry]

Gophers were down at half and win by 3. Pitino clearly out coached Painter. Did I do that right?

 

[Northeastgopher]

Thrilled with the win. Feels like pulled that one out of our ass but big ten wins are hard to come by so I’ll take it!

 

[GopherGangsta]

GopherGansta.....USAF........helloooooo.....where are you??????? I missed you today!

Still has an awful B10 record, will still finish in the bottom half and will still be fired.

 

[WriterGoph]

Amazing win. Definitely gives a lot of hope for the remaining home games! Purdue is a very tough matchup for us, so it was awesome to see us overcome Williams.

 

[BarnBurner]

Not.

Gonna.

Happen.
