***OFFICIAL wisconsin AT MINNESOTA SENIOR NIGHT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

I almost think that Treyton Thompson would be better Crowl. JOJ is just too small.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Gotta make Crowel pick up his dribble!

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Did we win?

 

[skiumah1]

Why Ben frustrates me: so many reasons to start Payne, but he goes with joj again who he decides to have guard Crowl who is a terrible mismatch for him. Payne comes in anyway after first media timeout to guard Crowl.

Yeah hard to comprehend. And Crowl gets 3 early buckets.

 

[stocker08]

Good crowd. Decent amount of red....but way more maroon and gold.

 

[RogueGopher]

If there's no foul and a guy goes down like that, how is it not a flop?

But was 100% a block they didn't call.

 

[jblass]

Play Payne against Cowl and if you insist on sitting him with 2 fouls, give TT some run.

Either that or bring more help to the post.

 

[Johnnyboy18]

Refs letting them play street basketball

 

[From the Parkinglot]

There will be 40 fouls called in the 2nd half. Refs letting everything go in the 1st half.

 

[howeda7]

These refs. That was not on JOJ.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Thank you to the referee for not handing out an Oscar to the badger against Ola Joseph. Definitely some contact but the guy way oversold it.

Should have been a block. Terrible no call.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Yeah hard to comprehend. And Crowl gets 3 early buckets.

JOJ is versatile and would be an awesome 6th man as he can give you minutes at the 3-5 positions. Payne plays one position and he is our best option at that position.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

That’s a horse shit call on JOJ

 

[RogueGopher]

Refs letting them play street basketball

Only 50% of the time though

 

[skyman31]

If there's no foul and a guy goes down like that, how is it not a flop?

Yeah that’s either a charge, a block, or a flop. If the flop rule exists, you gotta call it there.

 

[DEGopherfan]

Where is a BJ to defend Ola Joseph on the crap call? C’mon Ben

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Great pass by Cooper and shot by Battle

 

[jblass]

I’m about to take back everything I ever said about Henley.

 

[howeda7]

Come on Battle you don't want this to be your last home game...

 

[cjbfbp]

Do we really have a 7 point lead at half or am I just dreaming it?

 

[RogueGopher]

Largest lead in how many months?

 

[scools12]

Best 1st half they’ve played in the conference season.

 

[cjbfbp]

I’m about to take back everything I ever said about Henley.

I'm reminded of a line from the film La Femme Nikita:

"The good ones alway take longer."

 

[GopherBlood777]

Best half all year? Feels sweeter against the BADgers that is for sure.

 

[stocker08]

I’m about to take back everything I ever said about Henley.

It's almost like freshman can improve over time. Spread the word to gopherholers.

 

[Johnnyboy18]

I’m about to take back everything I ever said about Henley.

Until he transfers to Louisville

 

[cjbfbp]

Best 1st half they’ve played in the conference season.

It does help that Wisconsin isn't as good as a number of other conference teams we've played. At this point, I don't think they're better than Nebraska.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Battle only hits buzzer beaters these days!

 

[howeda7]

Wisconsin is +115 on the moneyline if anyone wants to hedge.
