Since we won both games when I started the thread figured I would keep it going!

Game Information:
Sunday, 5:00Pm on BTN!

Contain the press, 3 point line, and get off to a quick start. Go Gophs!
 

Badgers a really up and down team, but dangerous at home with wins over Michigan State, Oregon, and Nebraska...and a close loss to Washington. Gophers beat them 88-53 earlier this year at Williams Arena. Gophers will have to contain Badgers 3-point shooting, especially Destiny Howell. Gophers length on the perimeter, especially against the shorter Ronnie Porter, should present a problem for the Badgers.
 

Is there a fan charter bus with availability to attend this game anybody has heard about?

Nothing. Creative Charters does Gopher fans trips....nothing on their site. Challenge on Wisconsin trips has always been getting required number of folks to reserve when booster club tried several times in the past. The 5 PM game time doesn't help with a charter....but it is on Big Ten Network. Maybe something will still pop up but I wouldn't expect it this late date.

I reached out to Creative Charters earlier this week. They are not running a bus to Wisconsin, but might be doing something post season.

Whether by plane, train, or automobile get to Madison to support the Gophers. Wear Gold to be visible.

There was a time when on-the-road fan support for wbb was high... let's bring that back.

Go Gophers!!

Hopefully Gophers get up early and Makena Christian gets significant minutes. Could use her during tournament runs. I mean, "NEED" her during tournament runs.

She got 10 minutes against Nebraska. Lets see that again or 15.

Unfortunately, airballing two of her 3pt shots probably didn't help her cause. You are right though we do need her depth.
 

Christian has been struggling, so it is hard to give more minutes to her. Hopefully her play will improve and she gets more minutes as your right we could use her contribution
 



Breaking out in front of her home state crowd would be a confidence boost. Let's hope she gets the chance and capitalizes.
This game has made me nervous. I think Badgers will be more than ready for the Gophers. Hopefully the Gophers are ready for them, especially in the 3rd quarter.

I'll strike a more confident tone and say I think this is also going to be a big blowout just like last time. Wisconsin just seems like a bit of a one trick pony this year and we're smart and talented enough to counter their trick.
 

That would be great!

This may be the most important remaining regular season game. A loss to such a lower-ranked team would be catastrophic to their resume. Yea, beating Ohio State would be huge too but it is not expected. Beating Wiscconsin is expected.

EXTREME RISK GAME!!!!
 








Not a great start, the dreaded missed layups and telegraphed passes. Still 3 quarters to go, hopefully they can clean it up. Go Gophers!
 









Gophers up 14 pointa 5 minutes left in 3rd.

What' that I hear? Is that the afterburner starting?

Even with all theirs turnovers, Wisconsin is still in this game. This might be another one of those ugly wins.
 

Wisconsin had zero FT's in the 1st half.. in the final 4 minutes in the 3rd.. they had 10 alone..

need Amaya on the floor, our offense went cold and stale without her the final 3:25 of the 3rd
