***OFFICIAL GOPHERS-ILLINOIS BTT IN-GAME THREAD***

[mnsportsgeek]

Awful inbounding once again. Do we get a shot off?

Dre will hoist up a 3 and it will clank off the rim giving Illinois about 6 seconds to the or go to overtime.

 

[e.bigelow]

WTF.

 

[XMan]

Wow pathetic

 

[StCroix]

We don't deserve this...even with the lead we looked bad. WOW

 

[CurveballJesus]

that has to be a foul, you can't push someone out of bounds

 

[westcoastgopher11]

That's a pretty fitting end for the game to be honest.

 

[e.bigelow]

Yep. Figures.

 

[XMan]

Wow....what a choke

 

[Moses87]

Can anybody describe what is happening? Minnesota called 2nd timeout??? How much on the shot clock?

 

[notoriousgod71]

That epitomizes our season.

 

[hyaluronic]

WTF happened?

 

[Maroon Shower]

It's been real.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Great job goofers. Great last minute by our veteran ball club.

 

[Johnnyboy18]

FML

 

[slimmy22]

TUBBY....DRAW UP A INBOUNDS PLAY....THAT WORKS!!!!

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Gus Johnson nailed it earlier in the game: "If Minnesota could stay out of their own way, they'd be in this game."

 

[GopherInPittsburgh]

Was there any doubt?

 

[StCroix]

We didn't choke...honestly, we played about 10 minutes of good ball in the game...turned the ball over 18 times and still had a chance. We're not good enough for the NCAA.

 

[XMan]

Goods shot by Paul. Hard to see us not even take a shot at the end

 

[DMB123]

Bye bye Tubby. Horrible coach.

 

[Parski1]

Good job Hollins ya blew that game!

 

[Coolew01]

Can anybody describe what is happening? Minnesota called 2nd timeout??? How much on the shot clock?

Austin got pushed out of bounds, Illinois ball with say ten seconds, Paul hits fade away jumper as clock hits sere 51-49 illinois

 

[baseball_stud]

see you guys next year....too bad for trevor his last meaningful game had to be this heartbreaking

 

[e.bigelow]

Wow. Just wow. I thought we would get the W. But, alas, this game seems to sum up our season pretty well.

EDIT: Hello N.I.T.? Bye bye Tubby?

 

[Missourigopherfan]

Sad finish. Good effort to come back. Turnovers killed us. Well, I still have Mizzou tonight.

 

[Gopher07]

Of course it would finish that way. Of course.

 

[StCroix]

Good job Hollins ya blew that game!

BS...he kept us in most the game when our "great" seniors did NOTHING. We are so poorly prepared for game situations...thats coaching.

 

[book]

Great last 2 minutes - give up 3 offensive boards and then butcher 3 inbound passes!!! I don't want to hear about the great comeback - we should have never lost this game. 17 or 18 turn overs....

 

[CurveballJesus]

this is all on Tubby. How in the hell does a division 1 basketball coach (or a any level) not have at least 1 inbounds play that works. unreal

 

[GopherJake]

Great job stepping out of bounds on the most critical possession of the game too.
