BIG Game 8: Gophers @ Oregon Jan. 21

[DietCokeFan]

For the love of god.

 

[Katogopher]

Unbelievable, Battle you need to keep your cool, horrible end of game management

 

[EaganGopher22]

Battle loses it, but Hart scores. ???

 

[crazysauce]

Coach P needs to go. She is downright awful

 

[WinMinGophers!]

Critical saving block by Battle. Then saving strip by Battle. And she has 20 points.

 

[drewhaus7]

Wow we got lucky there

 

[Star City]

Gophers are going to win and I'm still mad because they never should've let it get this close.

 

[EaganGopher22]

Well, a W is a W! A road win

 

[BBJones]

Like they say, better to be lucky than good.

 

[Whytetale]

Nice win! It was desperately needed. Go Gophers. I'll see you in the Barn on Sunday.

 

[EaganGopher22]

Wow, they cleared out of the arena in a hurry!

 

[fanfromthevalley]

Coach P needs to go. She is downright awful

Sorry to disagree....no she's not and she's staying here.

 

[BBJones]

Once again Grace was the most efficient player on the court.

 

[MaroonMagic]

Quad 1 win! So far we've beat two teams we lost to last year and not dropped any new ones.

 

[DanvilleGopher]

5 Turnovers in the last 2:17 and 7 Turnovers in the last 4:46. These players (except for Grace, who has become a star!!) all melt down the stretch!

Why?!!

 

[Gophermangeek]

Found a way to get a very quality road win. Would rather win ugly than lose pretty. But boy can more than one guard play good in a game.

 

[Lynx]

Happy for our players. That’s gotta feel good to pick up a big road win! Here’s to more!

 

[Katogopher]

Well they went 1-1 on the trip and 2–2 against the old PAC schools so that’s good. They need to learn to finish games and need to figure how to inbound the ball under their basket while being pressed.

 

[Black N Gold]

Good win. Even thought Battle got called for a F1 I liked the intensity the Gophers played with.

 

[GringaGopher]

Looking @ the stats GG, Battle n Hart all scoring big tonight. Braun with 2 points? I was hoping after her good game @ WA that she would keep trending upward. Good W

 

[BigTenGuy]

4-4 in the BIG. Time to make some hay in the second half + 1. Gophers are so good on D. How far can GG and sporadic good nights from B & B (Braun & Battle) carry them?

 

[Gopher Ally]

Well we escaped without being able to break a press again and 3/19 from the three point line. Gotta win the ugly ones!

 

[MaxyJR1]

Nice win! It was desperately needed. Go Gophers. I'll see you in the Barn on Sunday.

Yuge game against the Badgers.

 

[DietCokeFan]

I’ve been pretty hard on Hart in the past. I have to say she has played some good basketball as of late. Not great but good. Her turnovers are way down and I can’t even remember her last travel or 3 second violation.

Next three are must wins heading into Iowa.

I miss Woodson.

 

[MaxyJR1]

65% shooting for Hart, GG and Battle.

15% on 4 baskets from the rest of the team.

Gophers are going to win and I'm still mad because they never should've let it get this close.

They needed the win to gain confidence they could close out after the Maryland loss. They are learning how to close out teams and win.any forget this is new for this squad. GG, Sophie, and Battle were counted on to win this game. Good minutes from Tonga too. Mckinney being back really helped, need her defense and rebounding. Good win.

 

[Roland Brooks]

Lots of winnable games coming up… bottom of the big ten is bad and the middle third shouldn’t scare anyone… time to win 4 of 5

 

[Gopheritnow]

With Battle and/or Glenn dominating the ball, there’s no ball movement, so Christian won't score even if she's in the game. Her only shot attempt came when she brought the ball up the court.

I think she got yanked right after that?

 

[Gopher Mac]

They won on the road in the big ten. So I will give them credit for that. I thought they would have worked on braking a press after the Maryland game but if they did they need more work.

 

[Gopheritnow]

I told my wife this game probably set the sport of basketball back a decade! If Oregon had not tuned that flagrant one into a one pt possession (and missed 2? Layups) we lose.
