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

[GopherVotary]

Color commentator sounds like Ben Affleck.

 

[cjbfbp]

Jalen Smith didn't get much time there.

 

[GringaGopher]

Nice, that's 3 on Smith.

 

[Moonlight]

3 on Smith. Game plan going as hoped

 

[macgopher]

Why did the put Smith back in? Thank you!

 

[Gopherbbdude]

That was HUGE

 

[upnorthkid]

Smith playing like Oturo of last year. Just can't stay away from unnecessary fouls, particularly on the offensive end

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Kalscheur is NOT an elite defender.

Yes he is. . . Not tonight

 

[MNgradinWI]

If I were Maryland.. I would have put Smith in too. He has to be smarter than that

 

[cjbfbp]

Here's a rarity: our bench is outscoring theirs 12-4.

Ihnen drilling shots helps a lot haha

 

[Moonlight]

Kalscheur is NOT an elite defender.

Hmm. Cowan now gets his first field goal. I disagree

 

[cjbfbp]

Yes, Alihan!

 

[upnorthkid]

Demir on the glass?! team coming up Yahtzee in the first half.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Coyle doesn’t rouser

 

[GringaGopher]

Amazing what having your shots drop does to provide energy to the team.

 

[SixBySix]

Can you believe this Pitino joker wasted a schollie on Ihnen?

 

[MUgopher32]

Maryland can't make anything other than free throws. But this is still very impressive.

Keep playing like this and its not impossible to win the last 3. Should at least win 2 of them and give some hope into BIG tourney.

win out, get off weakling Wednesday. this team has outstanding metrics. you never know

 

[GringaGopher]

What did Cowan say / do ?

 

[Outsider]

Big Ten refereeing just seems to suck this year. Not impressed either direction here.

 

[MUgopher32]

Well if they win out they would need only 1 win in BIG tourney to get in imo.

But just winning this one and 2/3 to end gives us a shot to win a couple and make it interesting too.

Yeah. I would not be happy with the refs if I were a Maryland fan tonight.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Harlan’s daughter looks good from my seats. Too bad she married a Badger

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Great half. Fear of running out of gas hanging overhead.

 

[Moonlight]

Yeah. I would not be happy with the refs if I were a Maryland fan tonight.

Yeah, 2 technicals. Wonder what Cowan said

 

[Outsider]

Yeah. I would not be happy with the refs if I were a Maryland fan tonight.

I think they have sucked both ways. We are just shooting lights out. So many little ticky tack calls that don’t make any sense in both directions.

 

[cjbfbp]

Great half. Fear of running out of gas hanging overhead.

They're playing a fair amount of guys tonight though and Oturu and Carr aren't having to do it all. Hopefully, Ihnen didn't get iced by sitting out so long. Also, Maryland isn't very deep either.

 

[MNgradinWI]

Very nice half. Play to win in the second half and not to lose and we are home free.

 

[theczar]

Same dumb last shot play at the end of the half
