I had a different question about that same play. I saw it was slightly blocked, so at that point it's off Butler, but it clearly bounced in bounds and then Payne goes after it to save it, seems like he touched it, then wouldn't it have been off Minnesota, last touched by Payne?
I'm sure it was mentioned before in the thread, but I was surprised to see JOJ get some run yesterday.
I thought the team played hard, and it was a really fun game to watch. I really think our double team on defense needs work. It almost seems like they hesitate and aren't sure if they...
Getting a win against MSU, and beating them twice in a season would be fantastic! Huge game, maybe it's just me, but winning this one would really change the way I feel about the team moving forward. I need to see that this team still has some fight left in them! Let's go boys!!!
I saw it was reported that JOJ had concussion symptoms. I was watching him during the game, he looked like he was bored, not interested in the game at all. Are the players getting these concussions in practice? I would be shocked if JOJ was on the team next season.
He has an unbelievable knack for knowing just when to leave his man to help on defense and go for the block. I LOVE when he flies in for a two handed block!
This was my take on it too. It sounded more like trying to sell the guys that are here and get them to stick together for what could be a good year next year. I did not listen to the podcast, but was it possible the quote was just making the statement that no one will want to play us, like...
My wife and I will be at that game too! Northwestern is in our area these days so I don't get to see the Gophers play much in person, really looking forward to it. Hope they have a chance to make it a winning conference record at that game.
What an awesome win! I don't mind that it was on Peacock, although I already had the subscription, so that helps. The team played great team defense last night, if someone was beat off the dribble there was a big there to step up. The double team in the second was nice, giving them a...
A little off topic, but talking about bringing guys with him when Ben came, weren't there two players from Texas A&M that were supposed to transfer in early in Ben's time here? It was so long ago, I can't remember the details, or even their names.
That was a bad loss. I thought they would come back from a bad shooting performance on the road and shoot it well at home. When you are shooting poorly, you need to pick it up on the defensive end. The players off the ball on defense are lazy, they would relax and kept getting beaten on...
I thought he could have gotten a flagrant on this play too, although a still shot of it looks much more egregious than even slow motion of the play. He did commit that foul on purpose and out of frustration IMO.
