B1G game 1: Gophers host Maryland 12-7-25

[walleye]

Gophers snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Disappointing. They will eventually self-destruct. Coach should have used her timeout earlier to advance the ball and hopefully go to the free throw line instead of giving up an easy steal and layup.

 

[Roland Brooks]

You win that can send your season in the right direction… lose it can send it in the other direction

 

[Gopher Mac]

It is only year three for Dawn. Give her 5 more years she will figure out how to coach and recuit.

 

[masswood]

This is crazy!

I’m 65 and have watched a lot of mn sports and I have to say that this game was the biggest choke job I have ever seen!!!

 

[Roland Brooks]

What low IQ plays by our seniors. We are above average but if we don’t beat any good teams we’re on the bubble at best.

Same issue as last year. No one knows how to finish.

Well said..

Not sure if they are above average, cannot beat good teams- feels like they’re average. Really expected more from this class.

You’re not serious are you?

How are we above average? We finished 13th last year. We have seniors starting. This is as good as it gets. We won a tournament that made us the 65th best team in the nation last year? What team are you guys watching?

 

[Gopher Mac]

No haha.

 

[mngolf]

What was that? 3 epic collapses in the same game are not enough?

You still didn't answer my question. And the coach doesn't make stupid passes, or dribble into trouble.

She used it on the next possession and they still turned it over.

Agree, we’ve seen lots of em here at Minnesota but this one will never be topped! I still can’t wrap my head around it

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Ugh, what a complete crappy ending to the basketball game. Rough loss any way you slice it.

 

[MaroonMagic]

How you coach P lovers feel now? That loss is all on her! Use your damn timeout! What a mess!

What do you mean? She almost beat the seventh ranked team....

You must be some type of special to not see how terrible the coaching was in that game. Get a damn clue.

 

[BBJones]

Unfortunately, our two "stars", Braun and Battle, are way overrated. Not efficient shooters and too careless with the ball under pressure.

 

[MaxyJR1]

How do two players that make 19-21 FT shoot 4-28 from floor.

 

[BBJones]

I've got about 15 years on you, and it's right up there for me too.

 

[Gophers4ever6842]

Lady gophers won’t recover from this!!!

 

[MaroonMagic]

Rough loss. The game was sunk when Tori had to sit for the third quarter and when she fouled out. With her in for a little more time, we'd have won. She's definitely our best player.

 

[jham13]

I know everyone was excited about getting Braun back but 3-20 shooting?

 

[Star City]

She used it on the next possession and they still turned it over.

If she used it the possession before, Maryland probably would've been looking to foul since they still were down by 4. On the next possession Maryland no longer had to foul.

 

[WorkingMyTailOff]

Despite the horrible turnovers, if they would not have fouled on those last two and ones, they may have won. That is 101 hoops to avoid fouls in that situation.

Mack guarded her a lot and Braun could not take advantage of the size advantage.. Mack blew by Braun a few times

She didn't foul out. She wasn't feeling well. She played the rest of the game.

 

[Goldy44]

Freese ran circles around Dawn at the end of every period, crazy

 

[crazysauce]

Tori absolutely did foul out. As did GG on the two inbounds plays that our dumb coach decided not to call a timeout for to advance the ball.

McKinney definitely fouled out

At least she can win some games again in the WBIT!

Fire Dawn

You're an idiot.
