NIT Championship: #1 Gophers vs. #1 SMU at MSG [ESPN, Thurs @ 6:00PM]

My goodness I am in love with Mathieu.

 

[tinyarch]

Is it just me or did Mo have a chance at that Alley-oop? He just watched the ball fly by.

One thing we've known since the beginning of the season is that our boys play below the rim...

 

[RolGnav]

The greatest offensive weapon in basketball is the shot fake.

I don't see that working too well for Joey King. He shot fakes every time.

 

[MadtownGopher]

I'm already dreading not having Mathieu on our team after next season.

 

[freshtrout]

Austin!

 

[Myke]

Austin!!

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

Malik with a terrible shot... that bounces in.

I'm not sure if I want him to get confidence or not.

Bobby Knight would like a word with you.

Always a mixed bag

If you have DVR. Go back and watch Pitino on the Smith 3.

He takes the shot and you see the palms to the sky/WTF reaction....then it goes in and you get the Tiger Woods uppercut pump. Hilarious.

Kinda like the way this game is being officiated! Let the boys play and the whistles or in their pockets like there suppose to be.

I don't.

 

[lakesgopher]

Is the 3 second rule not being called in the NIT? Smu has a guy just camped out

 

[RolGnav]

Please bench Malik... he brings nothing to the game.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Take a seat Malik. I felt terrible for you, but no longer care.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Are we going to allow an alley oop every time down the court?

No. As we just saw.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Malik with a terrible shot... that bounces in.

I'm not sure if I want him to get confidence or not.

And his next shot is...5 feet off. Wonderful.

 

[MadtownGopher]

Malik should take a seat for the rest of his career.

 

[StCroix]

We're losing our composure. SMU playing very confident.

No one shoot but Austin or Little Dre. Everyone else, please pass to one of those two.

Yep. Thanks for everything. Good luck.

 

[go4ergold]

The Gophers shot 3 free throws so far.

Ouch.

 

[freshtrout]

I guess so - shooting about 15% from 3's from the end of December... should put your butt on the bench

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

The Gophers shot 3 free throws so far.

Definitely

 

[GophersInIowa]

I think we've seen this sequence before:

- Malik Smith with an air ball 10 seconds into the shot clock.
- Malik Smith commits foul on defense.
- Andre Hollins misses layup.

 

[Lakers612]

The Gophers shot 3 free throws so far.

SMU playing good D.

Matheiu threw up a quasi-shot one time when he was fouled, and I thought he would get 2 shots; but the refs didn't agree apparently and called it a non-shooting foul.

Other than that, refs are calling a perfect game

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Did Knight just say something about shooting a three with no chance to draw a foul? That guys brain is spaghetti.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

um. that's a charge. every day of the week.
