***MINNESOTA AT NEBRASKA BOTH TEAMS NEED A WIN IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Tully55]

Women’s USA curling is on. A couple of local Minnesotans. Currently up 6-1 on the 6th end

ROC sucks...when they're not cheating

Battle is so overrated. He's a softie. No defense, no physicality, etc.

He will hit some shots here and there, but he's not a a guy you win with.

Thats extreme. Hes not an alpha you win with.

But you can have a very good team if Battle is like your 3rd option

 

[howeda7]

We've had moral victories, this is already a moral loss, even if we somehow win.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

My bad boys, had to put baby to bed. Down 12 but now I can help lead the comeback.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Then adjust. That's coaching.

Nah, that isn’t fair to expect Johnson to install a back door cut or screens to get easy buckets.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Geeze, never thought I would say, "Let's get it to single digits before half" against Nebraska.

 

[touchdownvikings]

Looking Pitino-esque. Need to coach our way out of this!

 

[kg21]

This is a worse team than anything Pitzy put out there.

With Pitzy, we would have 4 wins.

 

[MinnGopher]

Man, Daniels is not good

Actually, I wish the assistant coaches could finish out the year. Let Johnson go recruit.

 

[GophersInIowa]

I know it’s not why this game is this bad but how do 3 refs miss that Nebraska clearly tipped that pass from Loewe that went out of bounds? Like it wasn’t even close.

 

[skiumah1]

We’re so limited athletically it’s tough. Need more ball movement and throw in a backdoor.

More talented and athletic players will help as well.

Will have to play better to be Pitino-esque. "Our guys don't quit" only gets you so far.

This game has big Miracle on Ice energy for Ukraine

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Looks like Neb's game plan is to just beat the bleep out of MN. Gophs can't handle the physical play.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Not disagreeing but I wonder what option battle would be on Purdue, Illinois, wisco, MSU, etc.

"Hack-a-Gopher"

 

[GopherBlood777]

Finally starting to get some positive momentum and the half is about to end

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Couple goid plays by Sutherlan

 

[howeda7]

0-9 from 3. 11 turnovers.

 

[touchdownvikings]

0-9. Pitino-esque.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Thompson needs to look for the ball cutting to the basket more, he settles for a roll out to the 3 point line far too often

Carry it over to the rest of this game. Win this thing.

 

[skiumah1]

I hope we don’t look like NEB does in year 3

If his shot is off, he is basically worthless. He stands around on defense, doesn't board.......he's soft.

If he's hitting shots, then he helps. He has to score, because he can do nothing else.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

0-9 from 3. 11 turnovers.

That's horrendous

 

[touchdownvikings]

More ball movement?

 

[touchdownvikings]

Or is it all flame?

 

[kg21]

Not disagreeing but I wonder what option battle would be on Purdue, Illinois, wisco, MSU, etc.

He would not start.

Looking at a few more years....

What a terribly played half. Awful basketball.
