It will be interesting to see what we do with our front court. Buggs will almost assuredly get some decent minutes, maybe he surprises. I may not be able to watch much of this one because I'll be on the golf course out in Vegas. :D

Is it common practice for a guy that isn't going to watch the game be the one to start the in-game thread?

Methinks that he just wanted to boast about his elite status in the social stratosphere so all us 'holers could think about how Madtown is playing golf in Vegas and were all shivering in our longjohns, adjusting the rabbit ears while watching the Gopher game on our boob tubes.....

BULLYING

BULLYING!
 

Wofford is small, they start 3 guards and their two forwards are 6-6, so that's a good matchup considering our thin frontcourt. Syracuse will be a different story though, especially if King is out.

Appreciate the scouting report.

I mentioned I'm golfing because I'm disappointed with the early tipoff. 7 or later would have been ideal. This will be the second game in a row I've missed.

Yeah, I saw that too. EE might get his second double-double this year. This Wofford team isn't nearly as good as the 2010 version we beat featuring Minnesotans Noah Dahlman and Cam Rundles. If we don't beat them handily it might be cause for some concern.
 

So this has probably been asked a million times, but how soon after a live broadcast is the on-demand version available on BTN2GO?
 

Getting good vibe for Syracuse game

Just win, baby. Gophers needed to be 5-0 headed to Maui, and they're one win away from accomplishing that.

Even without Mo (and possibly King), I'm getting a good vibe about the Syracuse game. Something tells me the Hollins' are going to explode vs. the Orangemen's talented, but young guards. Just need to keep CJ Fair from blowing up vs. our short-handed frontcourt.

Yeah, Syracuse has their own issues as well. They have a young and inexperienced backcourt and they haven't shot the ball well so far. I feel better about this game now than I did a month ago, but If King is out, Ellenson will have to play some at the four and that doesn't bode well against a team like Cuse.
 

I hope to see improvement on the half court offense efficiency. In the CC game they were definitely trying on some new approaches because the entire lineup seemed out of sync.

Will be good to see progress there. Lets see if Wally can contribute 6-8 pts this game. I hope Buggs impresses tonight.

Go Gophs!

Count me as one that would take the trade-off.
 



Looking forward to finally being able to watch the Gophers live, don't think it will be too big of deal for King to be out tonight but hopefully he is back for 'Cuse. I'll be interested to see how much playing time Buggs gets with King out tonight, will tell us even more about were he is in his development if he still doesn't get very many minutes.
 


We are 17.5 point favorites, seems like a lot considering our lack of depth in the front court and the fact we only beat CC by 10.
 


Is it just me or has Otto been investing some time in a tanning bed... Could be the key to shooting!
 

How the heck do I get the ilivid ad on first row sports to close? I've been sitting here for 5 minutes. It's like i'm listening to the game on radio. Hate this website.

Switch to Link 2 or download ad blocker real quick.

Use Link 2, or try a different browser. You have to wait for the timer on the top left to reach zero, and a very tiny gray "X" will appear on the ad. Click that, and it will close.
 

Pitino said on the pre game show that they are hoping king can play on monday. Will have to see how it goes in practice.
 

That has happened in the past to the point that I say screw it rely on GH chatroom and this game thread to fill me in. More beer time too, btw. :)
 

Wofford has been god-awful so far. Gophers up 24-2.
 

If different browser/link doesnt work you can work through the chrome page source and delete the ad overlay dont bother though i think link 2 is better
 

Both are stuck on one last ad that won't quit. What's funny is sometimes it works right away, and sometimes never works. I can't wait til i'm home so I can watch on BTN more.
