GAME #27: Gophers (17-9, 6-7) v. Illinois (14-12, 3-10) [BTN, 2/19, 8:00PM]

[hyaluronic]

35 effin points. And that's after scoring a pretty quick 14.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

 

[cncmin]

Just like Michigan in football, no matter how ****ty they are, Illinois will always beat the Gophers

 

[GuyFawkes]

5+ minutes without a FG, thats the first time all year we have done that

 

[LesBolstad]

What a collection of mental pussies. Only guy with heart is Mathieu-and he sucks tonight.

 

[tinyarch]

Extremely disappointing game so far.

 

[Gopherguy0723]

Well, I guess we're going to the NIT.

 

[mcal24]

Key to stopping Gophers - step up on Mathieu ball screens. Looks like a bunch of clueless 5th graders

 

[hyaluronic]

One counterpoint - Illinois played well out of conference, they're not a bad team. They're just bad compared to the rest of the conference. Still sucks we are laying an egg here, but we shall see how it ends, and what we do moving forward.

Man, I'm picking on you tonight, and my apologies for that, however, Michigan has always had far greater talent across the field than us in football, even in their down years.

 

[GameDay]

Gophers owe Coach Pitino and the fans a HUGE apology.

 

[tmvander]

Our offense is one guy dribble dribble Dibble, drive into 4 guys, and turn it over. .. Let's try passing the ball.

 

[GophersInIowa]

We're acting like it is the first day of practice with a new system on offense. No one has a clue what is going on.

 

[goofygopherphan]

Gophers Go!!!! Gophers Go!!!!

Gophers owe Coach Pitino and the fans a HUGE apology.

"Why don't I go put on some makeup so at least I can look pretty when you all screw me?" -Coach Pitino (at least that's what I imagine him saying)

 

[jaymil]

Dre Hollins just has no explosion right now.

 

[GuyFawkes]

keep shooting 3's guys, if its not working keep doing it, thats the saying right?

 

[GameDay]

Andre is a living nightmare out there! *scared every time he touches the ball*

 

[hyaluronic]

All of our players are in an offensive funk...

 

[WindyCityGopher]

You have to try to miss 14 straight 3s. Holy $hit that's impossible to believe.

 

[bleedsmaroonandgold]

keep shooting 3's guys, if its not working keep doing, thats the saying right?

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you.

 

[Gold Vision]

Austin only one that showed up tonight.

 

[hyaluronic]

NO!

 

[SKOOKM]

I didn't think they would miss Wally this much.

 

[Myke]

These refs are absolutely clueless. Just guess on out of bounds calls.

 

[hyaluronic]

We need the home cookin' now.

 

[Gold Vision]

Austin Hollins just round-housed that dude. That a boy.

 

[gopherMD]

Malik Smith, seriously?

 

[nasa35]

ugh

 

[RolGnav]

Dre is not very athletic at all.... and when his jump shots aren't working... he's no good. Every one is playing bad. Dre, little Dre, Smith, Elliot, Mo... The only ones not freaking out is King and McNeil.

 

[bleedsmaroonandgold]

I didn't think they would miss Wally this much.

Everyone else is exerting so little effort for most of the game, Wally World might have actually gotten to play. Bad time to leave.
