***OFFICIAL GOPHERS VS SPARTANS GAME THREAD!!!!!!!!***

[Breakin' The Plane]

Another trash foul. Costello smacks Buggs' hand on a layup and that is fine though.

 

[burton34]

When will MN collapse begin?

 

[C.O.Y.G.]

Worst player in D 1 ties it up.

Who said that? Worst rebounder no question. Soft as they come. He can shoot.

Overheard on press row: "So why isn't Minnesota better?" "I agree. This team is too talented to be in its current position."
@joerexrode Six losses by five points or fewer. No. 339 in “luck,” per KenPom.

Beautiful drawn foul.

Good teams find ways to win. Bad teams find ways to lose. We are a bad team.

7 by six or less.

Heads up play by D2 benchwarmer Joey King.

 

[Moonlight]

Rebound by King!

 

[mcal24]

King should be a D2 player

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Worst player in D 1 gives Gophs the lead.

 

[Angry]

A commanding lead!

We are not a bad team. Yes, there are some teams that seem to collapse or thrive in close games - but, people misattribute that solely to the team. Sometimes you just hit a bad run. That said, I don't think we are good, either.

Oh, gee thanks for your input! For a moment I thought I would see how the game turned out but thanks to your great insight I now know better!

 

[hyaluronic]

A commanding lead!

Well, I feel safer up by a little then up by 10. At least when they take the lead, we won't have lost all momentum.

 

[cjbfbp]

Worst player in D 1 ties it up.

Yes he does. For this half he hasn't been anywhere close to the worst. Maybe he should play most of his minutes in the second half.

 

[GameDay]

Not sure where Mathieu was going with that the whole time.

 

[cjbfbp]

That Michigan State player stepping on the baseline play has really worked well for us tonight.

 

[Moonlight]

Flop

Fella calls himself nasa35. Says Pitino should be fired for playing King.

 

[Markous15]

Man I hope the win this one, another close loss would really sting.

 

[hyaluronic]

Excellent defense how? Fouling.

 

[GophersInIowa]

How was that not a foul? He ran into him. That was really bad.

 

[GopherinFlorida]

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[burton34]

I can't stand Mathieu

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Home cookin!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

We're clearly cheating. 12/15 from the line.

 

[Moonlight]

Pitino is a most courageous man. Every night he has 3 guys - King Morris and Buggs - none of who should start and yet he has to start 2 of the 3.

What a warrior.
