***OFFICIAL MICHIGAN STATE AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Gold Vision]

Awful last 10 minutes of the half. Completely stagnant on offense.

 

[skiumah1]

We need Payne. I once again hate Garcia sitting around the perimeter. If Payne isn't in, why is Garcia not down low?

Need more action for Christie.

Damn that was a tough 5-10 minutes of offense after having 20 with 10 min to play.

 

[Gold Vision]

5-8 from 3 vs 4-13 from 3. Michigan state sloppy but shooting 57%.

The quality of looks have been much better for MSU.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

They're not going to shoot 37% from the FT line either.

Highly unlikely we’ll shoot that in the second half from the field either

 

[Gilthorp57]

Have to get JOJ going, think he's afraid to make a mistake and be taken out. Not sure why Ihnen was in, he can't play the 4.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Awful last 10 minutes of the half. Completely stagnant on offense.

7 points in the last 10 minutes of the half.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Have to get JOJ going, think he's afraid to make a mistake and be taken out.

He needs to do what he does best instead of shooting from the outside all the time.

 

[Go Gophs]

Played well, still down 5. Frustrating.

Didn’t look like it to me. Standing on offense didn’t make a shot for like 10 minutes: they should be up 7-10 points

 

[GopherBlood777]

Winning at the under 8, I'll take it!

Maaaannn, I was hoping tonight we would go into half with the lead. Need to play clean and avoid fouls on the starters. Mix fox back in for energy this half. Let's go Gophers!!!

 

[jblass]

Checking in from the Bahamas. Only insights to the game are from the gopherhole and ESPN play by play on mobile phone. Can we do this in 2nd half? Go Gophers!

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

That's why we need Garcia inside.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Not a great game by Mitchell.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Not a great game by Mitchell.

He gets lazy feet sometimes

 

[DarthGopher]

Mitchell has gone into ding dong mode.

 

[MUgopher32]

Jesus Akins is on

 

[howeda7]

Not playing good enough defense to win this.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Jesus Akins is on

It might help if we guarded him.

 

[Go Gophs]

Mitchell has gone into ding dong mode.

He’s a fine player but he needs more bench time if he’s not on. Not a great defender and makes some bad decisions

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Better offense and better movement

 

[GophersInIowa]

 

[Go Gophs]

Honestly need this game: lose and any momentum you had with the fan base is gone and people will quit paying attention again fast

 

[skiumah1]

I think you go Carrington at this point. Carrington is more of a neutral player. Mitchell hurts the team on both ends right now.

 

[BTChamp]

Just score more points. Easy peasy

 

[howeda7]

Yep. Plus not very likely to win the next two.

 

[howeda7]

Slipping away fast.

 

[rivergopher]

Mich st shooting 60% they are getting much better looks than us.

 

[BTChamp]

Looking potentially ugly

 

[GopherinPhilly]

Looking like shit in second half so far...Izzo schooling Ben tonight

 

[DietCokeFan]

Why does Garcia think he’s a 3 point shooter? I just don’t get it.

 

[Gopherbbdude]
