Not much needs to be said about today. It's a character revealing type of game for the team. Gut check time no doubt. Let's make the Grinch our B!tch and channel our inner Lawrence Westbrook today. Let's get after it.
 

Here's hoping we have 400+ posts of positive comments instead of the usual. :)
 


Critical game today hope our best players play to their potential. The Gophers need to take care of the ball and be better from the free throw line and if that happens I see a Gopher win. Mbakwe has been playing well and Rodney needs to step up be a leader and play at the level we know he can. I think Andre and Austin will come up BIG today and lead the Gophers. This has the feel of a must win game and I think the Gophers step up and get it done.
 



Take away the 3 ball at all costs!!!!
 


Westbrook was a beauty, but he absolutely hated Wisconsin. I wish we had him as a " 6th " man today. I would guarantee a win. BTW, he is doing very well overseas.

Don't you mean "Westbrook was a beauty PLUS he absolutely hated Wisconsin"?

I just don't want anyone accusing you of being a closet Badger fan or GopherHole troll, Ruppert.

Pretty sure the first part was a bit of sarcasm in reference to his attitude at times.
 







A win today offsets the Northwestern loss.

A loss continues the spiral...

For a team that was top ten a few weeks ago, I don't think a win against one unranked team offsets a loss against another unranked team. I would say a win against Wisconsin offsets the Indiana loss. To offset the NU loss, we need to beat someone who is as much of a favorite over as as we were over NU.
 





Not looking too bad until that Joe Coleman shot. That was awful. He seems to be playing worse as the season progresses. Ugh. Come on Joe! Get it together!
 


Andre, stop fouling 30 feet from the basket. If you pick up a 2nd quickly this game is over.
 





First team to 40 wins today.

Looks like Wisconsin are just gonna wait the Gophers out. Eventually we'll turn it over too much and they'll capitalize.
 


Mav!! Nice. He needs some redemption after his poor play against NW.
