"Shot the ball not just to shoot it but to make it"

That might be the worst quote of all time.

Pine Bluff clueless on how to attack a zone. What took so long?

Big ten Network isn't sending their best to this one

 

[skyman31]

Thompson looks like he does not belong on the court. I don’t remember him looking this out of place offensively last year

 

[rivergopher]

Gaston Diedhiou?

I would say it is really close at this point, Thompson plays more out of neccissity

 

[GopherBlood777]

Free throw shooting is better

 

[Allshade]

Thompson is 7 foot…..passes out.

He's our best perimeter player!

 

[skyman31]

20 assists in 22 made field goals. That is genuinely impressive, and something to build on.

And, somehow, incredibly, 0 of those 20 were by JOJ. The streak lives on.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Battle oof doing his best gach impersonation

 

[GopherBlood777]

Battle found a way to fall down and make it productive

 

[jblass]

Well, it was a win. Carrington looked good on offense with 20 points.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Win is a win

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Bench probably should have played a bit there at about 3 minutes, but a win’s a win!

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

I mean honestly is Treyton Thompson the worst player that played at least 2 years in the last 40 years?

Actually, as goofy as it is to say it, when he came in they took over the game. They got in the zone defense, which is about all he can play, and it changed the course of the game.

 

[skyman31]

Also, 44% from 3 and 77% from FT are great to see. Obviously, the competition is lacking a bit, but things like having a mindset to share the ball, and having guys knock down shoots are things that can hopefully translate.

Yep, TT is our secret weapon

Humphries without the all big ten play

He was the stimulus that got the defense going.

Oh gosh.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Yep, TT is our secret weapon

He did try to feed inside. It failed once and he was kind of leery on his next feed inside to Garcia, but at least he seen what would work on that part of the game.

FREE TT, seriously though not much to lose at this point.

Long as they play zone. Don’t like that Cooper ends up playing the whole game. Thought we were past that stuff. Guess not.

I think the correlation is along the lines of if I park my car in the street tonight while it's snowing by morning it'll probably have snow on it.

This at tip-off.

COVID distancing baby!!!

 

[MennoSota]

Fun to see Carrington and Battle dropping shots from 3. A good shooting game overall. Except for Payne we have no inside game. Both Garcia and Thompson are soft in the paint at 6'11" and 7'.
The rotation is starting to shake out as Ben finds his guys who he can trust. Baby steps, but a nice win tonight

 

[GoodasGold]

Not yet!

Well, get going.

Waddaya think 3-4 thou?

I remember a smaller crowd I think? NIT opening round against High Point.

Tonight is tough. Wednesday, terrible opponent, snowstorm pending.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Wonder what the AD thinks of the crowd. Can’t be thrilled. But what do I know.
