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

[Spaulding!No!]

So the clock keepers screw the home team

 

[bga1]

5-5 for Battle in the second half- these are the stretches from him we have need this year and haven't gotten. He's been great this half.

 

[howeda7]

Jackson Davis fouled Battle multiple times on his blocked shot.

"Special player".

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Oof da our guys look exhausted

Hoping that this wakes him up. Team can win games when he shoots like this.

He's being defended by a post rather than a wing.

[VanillaThunder]

An iron 5 again but no choice. JOJ appears hurt.

 

[cjbfbp]

Oof da our guys look exhausted

Under the circumstances, I think they're hanging in there pretty well.

 

[RogueGopher]

Treyton needs to be stronger at the rim. He may have been fouled there though...not like the refs would call one on Tracey this late in the game.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Geez - if TT was a little stronger, he could have 3 or 4 putbacks tonight.

 

[Tully55]

Oof da our guys look exhausted

Battle, TT, and Cooper all with 32+ minutes

 

[Johnnyboy18]

He's being defended by a post rather than a wing.

Because the assistant coach is an idiot and playing a guy who can't move. Amazing he has him guarding Battle

 

[atsgopher]

"Special player".

He’s great and fun to watch, but damn. He just hacked up TT on the last one.

Sometimes guys make shots and that obviously helps.

But hes also not stuck playing the damn 3. Its a mental spot for him. And I said it waaaaaaaaaaaaay back when Garcia was even under consideration to be here.

"Outstanding game tonight." --Big Ten Network

"I'm going to come clean, I didn't see this coming." --Big Ten Network

"I'm going to come clean, I didn't see this coming." --Big Ten Network

I can't disagree with them here.

 

[howeda7]

TT misses another bunny. Sigh.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

I hate when they get the ball to TJD.

 

[rowdaboat]

Thompson is way too weak inside can't collect rebounds or finish shots

 

[RogueGopher]

Thompson you're 7 feet tall bro, how are you getting blocked so easily?! fucking shit..

 

[howeda7]

Thompson is way too weak inside can't collect rebounds or finish shots

He does OK on rebounds. But he should easily have 6-8 more points.

 

[Markous15]

We need to get Battle a look here.

 

[VanillaThunder]

Cooper is strong on boards tonight. TT needs 40 lbs of muscle.

 

[bga1]

Thompson has had two easy dunks that he just didn't go up strong on. He just needs to get a lot stronger to finish in this league.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Thompson is way too weak inside can't collect rebounds or finish shots

Agreed. And then add in that he’s probably exhausted since he usually never plays.

 

[howeda7]

Any word on how bad JOJ is hurt?

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I hate when they get the ball to TJD.

The lack of touches at time is shocking.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Payne would 8 dunks in this game

 

[jblass]

Should be Gophers ball!
