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

[jblass]

There is no embarrassment with this roster. They are what they are. We just have to get to next year and watch some youngsters.

There is embarrassment when you see experienced players demonstrating poor decision making, sloppy ball handling, unforced turnovers, poor defense, and apparent lack of effort.

Charlie Daniels should have stayed in Georgia playing is fiddle today

 

[howeda7]

I love the effort and grit of this team, but I have to say the continued missed FTs by our two best shooters - Willis and Battle - are extremely maddening. WTF

Willis has been terrible on FT's all year. Unacceptable for a PG.

Not a great adversity test for Ben here today. I’ll feel better when Thorson is back on the bench with him.

It’s always disappointing when the team isn’t prepared to play. That is coaching IMO.

What it boils down too........is pump the brakes on Ben a little.

No one knows for sure.

 

[howeda7]

The fact that Thompson hasn't played a minute is very bad news for his future IMO.

I agree. I imagine he transfers at this point.

 

[stocker08]

The guys are gassed. Not only is Curry out....but Sutherlin isn't playing either. That's one starter and our first reserve on an already short bench.

I agree. Very early.

 

[stocker08]

That wasn't goaltending?

 

[GophersInIowa]

Was that not goaltending?

 

[nitramnaed]

Thompson sighting

 

[howeda7]

Turns out when you put the 7 foot guy in, sometimes you can get a rebound. Huh.

 

[BTChamp]

Thompson coming out party?

 

[BTChamp]

Get it to 15 and there is life.

 

[BTChamp]

HAHA. Thompson hand the ball to Rebraca after the foul. Good move kid.

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Good energy from Thompson and Ramberg

 

[BTChamp]

Thompson bring the heat. Energy back with the boys!!!

 

[howeda7]

Good energy from Thompson and Ramberg

Ramburg is 2022 Zach Puchtel. Play him more.

 

[skiumah1]

I know it goes both ways, but do we like that TO there? Kinda thought you had the crowd going. I know Richard liked to do that too.

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Wow, the whole team stepped up a notch when Thomson came in

 

[howeda7]

Thompson bring the heat. Energy back with the boys!!!

He should start for however long Curry is out.

Didn't Angry Fran call that one?

 

[Spottedmuskie]

He should start for however long Curry is out.

Depends on the matchup. But should he see 0 minutes in the first half when Daniels is throwing the ball to the other team and has butter hands? Absolutely not

 

[kg21]

Thompson coming out party?

Did more than Daniels in a couple of minutes.

Damn, he looks so mechanical, though.

 

[skiumah1]

Didn't Angry Fran call that one?

No, Ben.

What does Daniels do better?

 

[howeda7]

No, Ben.

Odd. At least the PBP guy "loves" it.

 

[icepirate13]

What does Daniels do better?

Not rebound

 

[WriterGoph]

Definitely hope Thompson is earning some more minutes here.

 

[skiumah1]

Odd. At least the PBP guy "loves" it.

Haha yeah just heard that

 

[Spottedmuskie]

What does Daniels do better?

Size, defensive end. But yeah not a whole lot. Wouldn't take much for Thompson to prove himself over Daniels
