We led almost the entire game by double digits. To take that away because we didn't act like jerks and press 5 on 3 is silly. Yes this win will have an asterisk and that's too bad. But we also shouldn't be on the bubble so it doesn't matter.
I am completely disgusted. Terrible basketball, terrible coaching, terrible everything.
We deserved to lose. The fact that we let them outscore us 5 on 3 is shameful.
Feels like a loss...don't deserve to move up in rankings. Mason needs to be benched for start of next game, senior leader??!
Yep!Good lord people... try to forget that football team played like crap today.
The gophers played a very good game today before the strangeness kicked in. The Gophers never ever prepared for 3 on 5.
Anyone actually thinking about the game in a logical manner could see that the Gophers could have won by 30 if they would have ran and dominated in the full court offense. Coach could have done a little better job but I think it is fair to say he wasn't trying to show up Alabama by running.
We are undefeated and going to be ranked just outside the top 10 going into Wednesday. Amazing how negative some of you are on here.

What happened, didnt see tge game except monitoring on espn app.
Why was it 5v3?
Brawl?
Can someone lay this out...
thanks
I’ve been in a bunch of games being down and up a player - the team with the advantage always lets up - it’s not coaching, it’s psychological and there’s not much you can do about it unless your an ass and get physical with the player short team ( which would make you look really bad) they looked great when the game counted against a good team n the road
Wow, some people, EG #9, need to calm down. Who cares the point spread when you're playing top 25 v top 25.

I agree and I am also pissed off. I couldn't watch the game so someone please, please, PLEASE tell me that the Gophers were trying to be "nice" and not embarrass them once it became 5-3. Because it is truly pathetic to win this game only by 5 when the Gophers led by double digits the whole time it was 5 on 5. Makes us look very overrated. And has me somewhat concerned about the basketball IQ of this team. I need some clarity here.I am furious right now. WHAT THE F WAS THAT PITINO? You have a 5-3 advantage and get outscored? Why was Lynch not playing in the game? Why did you allow the team to #%@ around on offense and lazily pass the ball around the perimeter until someone randomly decides to put up a half hearted jumper? STEP ON THEIR THROATS...and then do the classy thing and drain the clock. I didn't think there was any chance that I could be more embarrassed by Gopher Basketball than Gopher Football today, but they came awfully close to letting the literally impossible happen.
Of course the narrative of this game completely changes from a national perspective now. This should have been viewed as a blowout that was made to look close for a brief moment in time due to the 3 Minnesota technicals (inexcusable by Mason to pick up the 2nd btw), but instead it will be viewed as a lucky Minnesota win due to the absolutely inept performance by the players and the coaching staff once Alabama was down to 4, then 3 players.
Very disappointed in what I saw from this program in all areas after halftime. There is simply no excuse.

All I care about is that we won. Once their entire bench got ejected, anything resembling normalcy was destroyed. Bring on Miami!

Ref's failed to manage the game and emotions, and you're failing as well.The point spread? At one point they were outscored 20-9 ! over a 6 minute stretch of a major college basketball game playing 5-3! They let Alabama get within 1 score with 1:39 to play. They were not playing top 25 vs top 25, they were playing 5 on 3. 5 guys from a middle of the road MAC program should be able to build a lead under that scenario against Duke. Absolutely ZERO excuse for what went on in that game down the stretch. Pathetic isn't a strong enough word to describe both the play on the floor and the coaching from the bench. Lets hope it means nothing in the grand scheme of things (very good chance) and move on, but wow did they find a way to leave everyone (well almost everyone apparently) with a horrible taste in their mouths.

Anyone figure out why there were ZERO free throws taken after the ejections?
