***OFFICIAL ILLINOIS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Tully55]

2nd half FG shooting...3-12

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Ben!

 

[Crappie]

Battle and dribbling equals disaster.

 

[howeda7]

If we don't start Payne on Thursday against Edy, Ben has some explaining to do.

 

[howeda7]

Cooper's FT shot still broken.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Payne’s a glass eater. Will get more and more as his career progresses.

 

[howeda7]

What's the Gophers record at the Barn against Illinois this century? About 3-12?

 

[Tully55]

ILL offense playbook...attack, attack, attack!!!

 

[Crappie]

Take it to the hole and Mn has no solution.

 

[Outsider]

One of our patented scoring droughts. Just can’t have these, we are not good enough yet to just overcome these.

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/minnesota/2023.html here you are, go to per 100 possessions. Turns out this isn't 1964 there are advanced analytics!

What I’m asking is, where is the column that reads “uff, he doesn’t look like a D1 player”?

 

[mplarson7]

I realize we haven't exactly been good while he's been there, but my word Underwood has absolutely owned us.

Take it to the hole and Mn has no solution.

Gophers or Timberwolves?

Payne has to develop a 15 to 18 foot game. His guy just clogs the lane when he gets the ball at the free throw line and dares him to shoot it.

 

[howeda7]

Brick by brick from the FT line.

Since Minn had the lead at 36-35, Minn outscored 26-7...4-18 FG shooting

 

[PhiloVance]

Reality sucks!

 

[Crappie]

Underwood is a spaz but his team has identity

 

[kg21]

Men amongst boys straight across the board.

 

[Bfan]

Garcia (12) and Cooper (11) in double digits scoring.

Freshmen Carrington, Payne and Henley are 1-9 on field goals and 1-4 on 3-points.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Scoring is a must if u wanna win...

I was off 1 each way. Tonight will make 5-15. Still awful. Pitino beat them 3 times at home. Tubby twice. Monson 0.

Was thinking the same thing. And I'm surprised he doesn't even pretend like he's going to shoot even a mid range jump shot. He was able to do it at times in high school.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

They got their depth immediately via the portal

Yes I understand that: development and acquire some pieces via the portal.

You can’t say that on this board otherwise you’re a troll
