Every day this season that there is a Gopher basketball game I have a little more pep in my step. I plan my days/nights around the games again and I can't wait to watch this squad.

Similar to Illinois (and wisconsin) seemingly owning us, we don't own Indiana per se, but even dating back to Clem years, Monson, Tubby, etc. we've seen to win a disproportionate number of games vs the Hoosiers relative to them being better than us. I'm not suggesting we're going to win at Assembly Hall, but I also think we can be very competitive and have a shot down the stretch.

As has been the critical, we must stay out of foul trouble.

I love our coach. I love our team.

GET 'ER DONE MEDVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

If you want to know how my week is going, I swore the game was last night. For these early evening games, I just ignore my phone until after the kids are in bed and then watch it from the beginning like it's live. Sat down last night and wondered why I couldn't find the game in my recorded games section.
 





Senior Night at Indiana is a distraction, and they have not been playing well lately.
Minnesota has proven all year that they can defend, a great equalizer.
Minnesota will get good looks offensively.
Gophers won't turn the ball over or hand Indiana the game.
If shots fall, the game will be very competitive.

This is the way.

Put the phone into focus mode and watch the whole game in under an hour, lol. Usually, I can catch up to the live broadcast during the under-4-minute TV timeout.

I do the same thing. Once the kids are down, I can watch it uninterrupted. I found I actually prefer it this way, as I can skip all the ads!
 


If we win this game and USC loses to Washington, we would be tied with Indiana in conference but ahead of them in 10th place by virtue of being 2-0 against them.

Indiana certainly has plenty of motivation to win this game. They need to win both of these final games to feel good about their NCAA tournament chances.

Indiana is a 6.5-point favorite according to ESPN which seems pretty fair. Indiana hasn't been dominating at home in conference (5-4). They did beat Purdue at home but also lost to Northwestern at Assembly Hall. Minnesota is 2-7 on the road in conference but were close enough to win at the end in a couple of those losses.
 


Remembering the 1977 blow-out win at Assembly Hall (granted that IU team returned only Kent Benson from the 1976 NCAA championship team, IIRC). Listened to Ray’s call (I was in the 8th grade) which was in the key of “sheer delight” including a coast to coast drive by Ray Williams which Ray punctuated with: “Nothing can stop Minnesota tonight!” I wish I had a recording of the game.

Can you explain this bit and your obsession with Parker Fox? I’m so confused by it.

He's got an antagonistic relationship with KFAN, where he can't keep from mocking KFAN personalities......but also cannot stop listening to KFAN.
 



Indiana closed the half well, they're playing very hard. Good to see teams don't under estimate us and take us serious
 

Second game in a row where we are just getting lit up in this zone. Giving up 62% FG on any looks they want.
