***Official Game Thread Gophers vs. Cardinal***

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

Not going to win many games going 12+ minutes without a FG. They're all afraid to shoot.

They're all afraid of getting a ridiculous charge call.

 

[LAgopher]

Poor EE just can't help but foul

 

[ruppertflywheel]

EE has no energy. Is he sick?

 

[XMan]

Hard to believe that Ralph sat the entire tournament.

 

[LAgopher]

Lets put this game out of mind and concentrate on the awesome bball this team has played over the past 3 weeks and know that everyone is back plus hopefully Trev! Top 20 preseason and roll from there. Go Gophs!

 

[gopherinpain]

Is he sick?

He had the flu earlier this week. Hard to win when Dre has 4 points late into the second half.

 

[upnortgopherfan]

EE has no energy. Is he sick?

Yes

 

[calminnfan]

EE has no energy. Is he sick?

Yes he is...one of the issues mentioned on Twitter was that he has the flu.

 

[gopherMD]

6 points in the 2nd half?

 

[MaroonGopher]

That is, by far, the ugliest, most bizarre final 30 minutes I have ever seen a Tubby Smith Minnesota team play. Absolutely no heart, effort, skill or knowledge. Pathetic and embarrassing. In some ways is taints everything the team did up to then because it proves to everyone that this team can play at such a disgustingly low level.

 

[gopherinpain]

horrible execution, shot selection and sloppy defense. Outplayed and outcoached for sure.

I'm also beginning to feel il.

 

[Gopher Warrior]

Stanford is the only good defensive team they've faced since Wisconsin at the end of February. But this one has been bad on both ends of the floor. Rough.

 

[zambam]

He would be hard pressed to start in the MIAC -- can't handle the ball and can't shoot. Not good for a PG.

Ya because the defensive pressure in D3 is equal to the pressure in D1.

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

This is embarrassing.

 

[zambam]

As I said in the chat, this game is getting ugly and it's only going to get uglier. Need to try something new on offense.

Yep, I saw this coming.

 

[gopherinpain]

Stanford shooting 52 percent from the field. disgusting Tubby.

 

[Gold Vision]

Stanford shooting 52 percent from the field. disgusting Tubby.

Lol what?

 

[46Gophers]

What a f**cking joke! Just call a timeout and pack it up and go to the bus before you embarrass yourself even more or man up and play as a team.

 

[GoodasGold]

What a difference a half makes.

 

[bga1]

They pressured us on top giving us no respect for our inside game (correctly). We just gave Dre zero help with a ball screen to free him to drive and create. I'm just recalling how effective that play is for Michigan with Burke getting a screen every possession.

 

[gopherinpain]

Stanford shooting 52 percent from the field.

make that 56 percent. I thought Ohio State played tomorrow?

Cut the drama. It's only one game.

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

How is it that this team just can't make a shot- any shot?

 

[TLHGO4]

+1

If you don't pass well, you don't get open shots. If you don't get open shots, you make few of them.

 

[gopherinpain]

Vegas had Stanford by 30 so on the positive side its a push.

 

[zambam]

Layed an egg in this one. Stanford came in with a plan to stop us, and it's working.

 

[gopherMD]

Welch-Mr. Clutch.

 

[bleedsmaroonandgold]

Cut the drama. It's only one game.

It was also the biggest game of the year and we gave our worst effort.
