***OFFICIAL GOPHERS VS MICHIGAN IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[hyaluronic]

Why is Mason so poor at freebies? You want PT? Make the shot with the word "free" in the name

I especially don't get how decent shooters can be so poor at the line.

Hope he hasn't picked up the Julian Welch disease...

Welch just had trouble making them at crunch time. Mason has trouble at all times.

Follow your shot king.

Terrible timeout. Take the tie-up, but don't throw your last timeout away on something like that.

Yup that's the point with calling out Mason. Personally I think everyone should be solid free throw shooters but a good shooting guard has zero excuses.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Follow your shot king.

Exactly. He was in the corner, but he never follows his shot at all. He had to know that was going to be short. It was ugly from the get go.

mich pa guy is obnoxios

Out of timeouts now. I tend to question some of Pitino's timeouts that he takes when it seems like we don't really need to. Came back to bite us right now.

He took one about the 12 minute mark where we had just gone up 5 that he may end up regretting- hope not. He has to get better at that.

It's easier to say that from the comfort of your couch than when you're in the heat of a game.

Airball, awful brick....then they drain a 3.

 

[upnorthkid]

I wish we could just once have a big who goes up and dunks the damn ball for an and 1

Who thinks we're winning this?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

If we choke this one away too, I will go into a deep depression.

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

For the love of God finish.

The game ended when Dre missed the wide-open layup that would have put them up by 12 (11), and instead turned the momentum around and made the team nervous. It's amazing how quickly basketball games change, and missed sure buckets are often the main culprit.

The only chance this team had after that was for Michigan to continue to miss shots, but we all knew that wasn't going to happen. Damn shame.

Oh and P.S. If Walker can't score or do good things on offense, he should be on the bench, period.

 

[jaymil]

Very reminiscent of the Purdue game.

Who thinks we're winning this?

Right now, not me.

 

[USTHoops]

Have to make open shots, rebound and play D in the final stretch to get a win

Only managed to erase a 9 point deficit

Disagree... 1.) I might rather have a possession; 2.) It was a heads up play. The only thing that calls it into question is that it's the last TO. And that's not the "If-then" scenario I want being taught by a coach. There are plenty of other more important things to teach, that wouldn't be "debatable."

 

[station19]

I must be behind, I didn't know it was over

Get Ricky a couch?

I didn't know this was your first year as a Gopher fan, Station19.

 

[MUgopher32]

Missed both lol what a clown

 

[hyaluronic]

Who thinks we're winning this?

We're still in it.

 

[tinyarch]

Would like to see us break this zone with a 1-4 set and get some shots down low.

 

[1997vacatedfinalfour]

Players gotta play down the stretch but this is the second game in a row, Baby Pitino got schooled.

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

So stupid.

 

[hyaluronic]

You've gotta be kidding me.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Nice free throws, Mo.
