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

[Wet_Blanket_Guy]

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

But that’s “not the right way”…so I’ve been told

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Can't finish anything at the rim

 

[kg21]

I don't know, what are you seeing from these freshman that is encouraging?

 

[leib0039]

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

I understand you do not like anything other than unabashed optimism but when your team is outscored by 30 points per 100 possessions that to me says that.

Since some here are unwilling to accept any negative comments I'll just log off, I guess I'll just accept this half as a positive.

 

[GophersInIowa]

That’s a cheep shot. Stupid.

 

[kg21]

That’s a cheep shot. Stupid.

Game is long gone. Sit his ass, Ben!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Tough second half. Hung tight early. Still an improvement.

 

[howeda7]

Worst half of the year. We had the lead this half and are going to lose by 25-30. Just pathetic.

 

[Gold Vision]

Embarrassing half all around.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Another embarrassing performance.

 

[kg21]

That’s a cheep shot. Stupid.

Hey GopherinIowa,

I was so pumped yesterday morning. Vikings, then timberwolves today, followed by the Gophers.

It's been awesome. LOL

 

[howeda7]

Henley needs to work on finishing. That's at least twice now he's blown what should have been lay-ups.

Tough second half. Hung tight early. Still an improvement.

Correct take

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Great

 

[howeda7]

I guess if Battle is going to miss a game, Purdue might as well be it.

 

[kg21]

I guess if Battle is going to miss a game, Purdue might as well be it.

Do we have to play that game?

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Do we have to play that game?

Such a loser mentality.

 

[USAF]

Tough second half. Hung tight early. Still an improvement.

Hahahahaha.

An improvement.

Hahahahahahahaha

 

[kg21]

Such a loser mentality.

It's just that I watch these games.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

3-13 from 3
Pounded on the boards 50-29
Gave up 14 offensive rebounds
Rough, rough second half.
Two steps forward, one step back?

 

[PhiloVance]

There's something they can't take away from the Gophers...the OSU win...thank goodness!

 

[Wet_Blanket_Guy]

I don't know, what are you seeing from these freshman that is encouraging?

It was terrible, but at least carrington got past his mental block and went to the hole a few times… that is a step in the right direction

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Knew that there was a game tonight, didn't care still pissed off from yesterday. The sad state of Minnesota sports.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

It's just that I watch these games.

At times like this I just think of March 2020. Crappy Gophers are better than no Gophers

 

[Crappie]

Poor defense, no guard play, Illinois tough d. Give up 80 points on your home court.
Yuck.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Damn, tough game. Illinois offense was fun to watch. We just don't have the personnel to compete with players like Shannon and Dainja right now. Ben kept starters in too long. On to the next one. Go Gophers!

 

[Bfan]

Ben Johnson: "We're going to watch the film, and we're really going to be disappointed by what we see.... They were the aggressor. We didn't draw a line in the sand.... Defense.... We've got to break it down and see what we can do better players and coaches."

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Well, this will be a terrific week on GH.

Ben Johnson should have been mic’d up.

I hear he is a much better coach when he is mic’d up.
