***OFFICIAL GOPHERS-FLORIDA NCAA TOURNEY IN-GAME THREAD***

[Cayman]

Even our band sounds like crap today.

As a member of the band playing at the game, ouch.

The Illini band is trying to disrupt Florida's FT shooters. #bigtenlove

 

[Winasota Gopher]

I just don't understand what these refs are trying to do with the officiating....

Maybe that's my problem and not theirs??

Absolutely no consistency from possession to possession even more so than the inequality between the teams

Truth

 

[goldengophers]

The silver lining here is Florida has yet to win a close game.

Gonna be tough with Dre in the bench.

 

[matt]

The silver lining here is Florida has yet to win a close game.

So it's either going to get really exciting or really depressing really soon.

 

[beavergopher]

We need Lindsey Whalen.
Nice do on the foul shooter.

 

[Slim Tubby]

God I hate it when the refs take the ball out of both teams' hands. Let them play the *&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#ing game!

 

[scools12]

Lol, ok. Keep drinking that refs aren't the problem kool-aid.

If you think they are down because of the refs you are wrong.

 

[Winasota Gopher]

These commentators are insane.... As insane as the refs....

 

[notoriousgod71]

I wish we hadn't thrown away the first half.

 

[howeda7]

Put Dre back in. Go down fighting. Dare these refs to foul him out.

 

[Winasota Gopher]

These refs cannot figure out what to do.... Welch had his hand around youngs neck... Young has done that exact move all game.... Foul young....

Atrocious....

 

[Sparlimb]

Still in it baby. I know my heart is going to be ripped out late in this game, but I want to continue to believe!

 

[matt]

If you think they are down because of the refs you are wrong.

If you think the refs haven't affected the game you are wrong.

 

[Hall]

a few calls going our way right now. when should Andre come back?!

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

The officials are making a comeback as well, it seems!

 

[Governor Sibley]

F**k it. Let's win.

 

[beavergopher]

I wish we hadn't thrown away the first half.

Repeat of the 1st IU game

 

[Sparlimb]

Maverick isn't going to lead us anywhere. Put the boys back in...

 

[goldengophers]

Ahanmised


*this isn't actually a real word

 

[exiledinduluth]

when you look at the box score, you realize there are too many players who haven't contributed much today or this year. Too many players that don't belong on a Big Ten team, that is a recruiting issue. Better to bank em and take walk ons than some of these guys

 

[Sid Hartman]

Have no fear Mav is here!

 

[gopherMD]

Why not sub Andre when it is a dead ball and the Gophers have the ball?

 

[westcoastgopher11]

Florida has to press hard and zone up after going small.

How Tubby adjusts and we handle that is going to make the difference.

 

[beavergopher]

a few calls going our way right now. when should Andre come back?!

As soon as Mav turns it over, so right now.

 

[scools12]

If you think the refs haven't affected the game you are wrong.

Didn't say they haven't affected game. Their just not the reason Minnesota is down as you want to believe.

 

[big10guy]

Oh crap, we've got Mav, Julian, and Ingram all on the floor. Where's Oto??? This can't happen! Gotta trust your studs to be able to play in foul trouble or you'll lose with them sitting on the bench with 4 fouls.

 

[westcoastgopher11]

Didn't say they haven't affected game. Their just not the reason Minnesota is down as you want to believe.

+1

We have far too many open offensive spots in both the starting lineup and the bench

 

[Sid Hartman]

Mav is scared $hitless to shoot the ball...he is the human rain delay or shot clock violation maker
