***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT INDIANA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Go4]

We’re playing like last year. Poor shooting. Bad defense. No hustle.

+o4

 

[BTChamp]

Paynes free throws master class is not in session anymore.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Dang that is a lot of turnovers tonight.

 

[Gophers7633]

Disappointing effort. This was the 2nd easiest road game left on the schedule, and overall one of the easiest ones left.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

The "we're a juggernaut" crowd is a bit testy tonight.

The only suitable reply is to recall an old Joe Pyne line: "Go gargle with razor blades."

 

[stocker08]

4/22 from our starting guards. Can't win that way. We need guys to be able to hit their outside shots.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Oh my gosh, 0-3 on 3’s that trip.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Disappointing effort. This was the 2nd easiest road game left on the schedule, and overall one of the easiest ones left.

Obviously, it wasn't the second easiest road game.

 

[kg21]

How’s your favorite, McDaniels, doing?

1-4, 2 turnovers, and threw the ball too hard to the ref and got T'ed up. He's hideous.

 

[holereader]

Holereader, an uncouth slob, can shove his advice up his ass.

There is a Murder She Wrote marathon on Hallmark channel - perhaps you will enjoy that more - funny you have no melon to twist

 

[kg21]

They need a big man in this lineup. There is nothing coming in next year.

It is what it is.

 

[Gophers7633]

Obviously, it wasn't the second easiest road game.

??? I mean, it is though. @PSU would only be easier.

 

[Unregistered User]

And that’s the first point by an Indiana point guard

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Win that next one with Iowa!

 

[kg21]

Win that next one with Iowa!

they had better, because if they don't, it's going completely off the rails.

 

[GoodasGold]

Obviously, it wasn't the second easiest road game.

It was the first hardest road game.

 

[scools12]

Does this game mean Ben Johnson is back to being a disaster?

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

The game outcomes don't always follow the ratings.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

17% from 3..... it's the difference

 

[stocker08]

they had better, because if they don't, it's going completely off the rails.

lol. We got 4-28 out of our starting guards and have shot 15% from three as a team.

While we never got into striking distance....we never fell into 'blown out' territory despite the absolutely brutal shooting.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

It was the first hardest road game.

Maybe second. We'll probably end up with a lower loss margin than the San Francisco game.

 

[Gophers7633]

The game outcomes don't always follow the ratings.

Obviously, but IU isn't a good team(even though they do have a lot of talent). Missed opportunity. We need to be a lot better to beat anyone remaining on the road.

 

[leib0039]

Obviously, it wasn't the second easiest road game.

Just based purely off of metrics technically the only road game left that's easier is PSU. Not sure I think Iowa or NW is better than IU but per the net/kenpom etc that statement was correct

 

[bga1]

That and the FT shooting. Rough night.

 

[howeda7]

With two bigs why in the world was Payne not starting. Just dumb stubborness.

He absolutely has to start next game. Ben clearly has beef with Mitchell and barely plays him, so why start him?

 

[kg21]

lol. We got 4-28 out of our starting guards and have shot 15% from three as a team.

While we never got into striking distance....we never fell into 'blown out' territory despite the absolutely brutal shooting.

Well, if they lose to a schit Iowa team.......it's then at MSU, Wisconsin, at PSU

You believe more than me which is fine.

Also, we were never totally blown out, because, well, Indiana is very average.

 

[bga1]

Obviously, but IU isn't a good team(even though they do have a lot of talent). Missed opportunity. We need to be a lot better to beat anyone remaining on the road.

We played soft against a team that struggles from outside and we let them get going making a number of 3s early.

 

[spermophilus]

3/20 on 3s. 13/24 on free throws. FFS.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Was this meant for NYC, who can't put together a sentence?

It's 1 loss. It was reasonably always going to be a loss.

No need to get so pissy in your relentless need to defend Johnson at all costs. Others are allowed to express opinions too.

I don’t cuss at people on here, as some do (I wouldn’t demean someone in that manner) and I rarely drink (nice attempt at gaslighting).

I have also apologized on this forum, multiple times when wrong, when my facts have been incorrect or I’ve crossed the line with someone- it’s called being a gentleman.

I’m well aware that I can still be a smug ass and by God’s Grace, I will continue to grow and change, so that will be mitigated and I can grow old gracefully and be less of a pain in the ass.

This entity appears to be more important to you, than me, so I’m going to ignore you going forward, so this doesn’t detract from other posters’ enjoyment. I won enough pissing matches when I was a younger man; my primary purpose coming on here is for fun and camaraderie (not the vibe I sense from you), not trying to prove how smart or knowledgeable I am about sports or life. I’ll leave that for perspicacious grey matter which is contained in your melon.

I trust the above was at a reading level commiserate with your cognitive abilities

Have a blessed weekend, unless you have other plans.

Metrics? By the metrics, Northwestern shouldn't have beaten Purdue or lost to Chicago State.
