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

[leib0039]

Nebraska looks like what a fully healthy Niko team will look like. Not an top end talent team, but do everything right and frustrate the other team.

That's a great regular season recipe, but that likely gets exploited in the tournament by a team with just more individual talent. Not that i would every complain if my team was 20-0 and ranked 7th ha

Early foul trouble for Asuma. Need Shinholster to make a few today.

Him getting enough confidence to shoot once in a while would be huge. He does everything else well.

 

[howeda7]

Nebraska rebounds really well. I don't think we have an offensive rebound yet.

Kai for 3!

 

[everybody knows my name]

Gophers with their first lead of the game! They are a maximum-effort team, and I love that.

 

[Gopher Ally]

Able to catch a break at work and turn game on, looks like an old fashion Barn crowd!

 

[leib0039]

JCJ just the ultimate green light ha. Zero thought he's just firing.

 

[howeda7]

Make FT's

 

[upnorthkid]

been a very fun first half

 

[Gopher Ally]

Getting sloppy, need to settle down

 

[Drake University Gopher]

It’s cold outside in Minneapolis, but it’s raining 3s at the Barn! Keep it up!

 

[howeda7]

Durkin is having a day.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

MAN!!!!

 

[MaxyJR1]

Getting out of half with only four fouls is huge.

 

[Angry]

Can we just run away with it one game.

 

[everybody knows my name]

I hope the players love coach Medved, because he's going to be with us for a long time.

After hot shooting from deep, the key will be to not get complacent just chucking. Keep up the good passing and take a page out of Hoiberg’s bag, pump and go. I want to see that ball continue to move with back cuts leading to easy buckets when the Huskers are forced to over play the 3!

When do we start panicking about Auburn or other random SEC school stealing him?

Yep. Time to let JCJ cook.

Coach is a Gopher through and through.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Getting out of half with only four fouls is huge.

Not just that - JCJ has zero so he can be aggressive in the second half and won't have to hold back at all.

 

[stocker08]

Nice first half. But Nebraska will shoot better in the second half. Can't get sloppy with the ball.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Asuma has to be smarter then that. That foul could be a major issue with him having to sit most of the second half. Dumb foul.

Shinholster going to have to provide some huge minutes.

 

[howeda7]

1-4 from the FT line.

 

[LesBolstad]

1-4 from the FT line.

we're going to lose by 3-5 due to FT's aren't we?

 

[Gilthorp57]

Starting to look fatigued already it looks like.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Not a moral victory observation, but something that should be noted, every conference team we have played, we have played tough. That's an amazing sign for this program. This year, regardless of the circumstances, you are not playing the Gophers without a dogfight. You have to be prepared for battle.

 

[Angry]

1-4 from the FT line.

At least one of those turned into a 3 via offensive rebound but we need to be good down the stretch.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Starting to look fatigued already it looks like.

Was just thinking our guys looked gassed. Then again that was a fast paced sequence. Bright side is Asuma should be well rested.

True. Seems they are mentally prepared.
