***OFFICIAL IOWA AT MINNESOTA CHRISTMAS DAY IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[GringaGopher]

Love the energy the Gophers are bringing in this game.

 

[matt]

Gotta love holding Iowa’s offense to 14 points through 12 minutes.

 

[tmvander]

Hope we can try like this every play of ever game

 

[BamBam]

Why up 18-11, Carr makes both free throws and we are only at 19-11?

Mashburn hit a shot earlier that was called a 3 at the time. I thought it was a 2, so I wonder if it got switched back to a 2.

 

[skyman31]

Sam Freeman!!! That was a great offensive play by him, patient and a soft touch.

 

[Tully55]

GABE!!!!!!!

 

[Cayman]

yay gabe

 

[matt]

How in the world is that lineup in the + column?! Nice job!

 

[skyman31]

Great to see gabe hit that. Also its been a minute only, but freeman doesn't look out of place so far. A good finish at the rim, smooth hands to pick up a loose ball and make a smart pass. Happy to see, hope it continues.

 

[GopherGangsta]

Having no crowd really sucks for a game like this

The counted a Mashburn 2 as a 3. They corrected that during the free throws.

 

[stocker08]

That was a really weird looking shot by Ihnen. But it went in and that's all that matters.

 

[macgopher]

21% shooting Iowa.

 

[stocker08]

21% shooting Iowa.

Yeah that won't last. Gophers have to take advantage.

But part of that poor shooting is good defense by the Gophers too. So credit there.

 

[tmvander]

Why are we jacking 3s like this?

 

[GopherGangsta]

Anybody else see that airball by Gabe that missed the hoop by 5 feet?

 

[Parcival]

Ref blew his whistle before the Iowa player even caught the ball. Didn’t know we were playing in Iowa but Jesus these refs have been awful.

 

[BarnBurner]

What do you know?

Sam playing........quick on the roll.

 

[LesBolstad]

Ref blew his whistle before the Iowa player even caught the ball. Didn’t know we were playing in Iowa but Jesus these refs have been awful.

It's like they looked at the scoreboard and thought this can't be; let's make some BS calls to get it closer.

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

Gotta stop this from becoming an Iowa run going into the half.

 

[Tully55]

Good to have officials timeout....got a little ragged with some bad 3s for a bit

 

[stocker08]

And it makes you wonder why Omersa was ever getting more time than Ihnen.

And another super weak call on the Gophers.

 

[bc2211]

Kid just went asleep and I have the right combination of hope, angst, and Tom & Jerry’s to make some noise. Going to be a struggle!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Sam Freeman with some impressive first half minutes

 

[Parcival]

Kalscheur is missing wide open 3s. Maybe Mutaf should start getting consideration for some of his minutes at some point...

 

[GopherGangsta]

My god Gabe sucks

 

[LesBolstad]

Ok, the Kal era is over. Needs to play only 10-15 minutes for defense only. More minutes to Mash and Tre.

 

[jblass]

Gabe is killing us with his shooting!

 

[Tully55]

Gabe 1 3pt all net. 4 bad misses
