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

Andre was an absolute stud tonight. This tells you are far off some if the seading can be. What a great win for the gophers, they dominated every category of the game.
 

The only disappointment was that the Human Victory Cigars (Shell & Halverson) didn't get any time in te last 2 minutes.
 

Oto didn't do anything exceptional tonight but he did play solid defense (drew a charge, and almost had another one)

I agree. The zone defense looked good with all those long arms at the perimeter. And they all worked together well to not allow massive holes and wide-open looks.

and didn't do anything stupid on offense.

Well, he did "attempt" a 3 pointer........

It wasn't an airball.
 



Great all around team effort in this game from Tubby on down. I think this was the kind of performance a number of people were expecting and hoping for once we got out of the B1G. I wonder what Wear thinks of trying to guard Mbakwe now and how the Gophers miss a lot of shots? Looking ahead to Florida I think the key is how well we can limit Floridas 3 point shooting, Florida is a team that can get very hot from 3 but can also fall in love with the 3 at times whether they are shooting it well or not and take bad shots through it. If we can limit their 3 point shooting I like our chances.
