***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT BUTLER NIT FIRST ROUND IN-GAME POST-SEASON BASKETBALL(!!!) THREAD!!!***

[Bayfield Gopher]

Someone not named Garcia has to step up

 

[Iceland12]

The refs called a foul on Butler! And Payne hit one of two.

 

[howeda7]

WTF was that possession?

 

[MplsGopher]

I see why it’s 47%…

Oop just realized I was still back on the DVR

 

[Gilthorp57]

Why? Why? Hawkins? We can get a better shot that that!

 

[stocker08]

That was pretty obviously deflected. But then Payne decided to jump at it.....

 

[howeda7]

Butler deflected it but Payne touched it before it landed out of bounds.

 

[Homerpalooza]

Those Butler fans just look slackjawed,

 

[CPTMidnight]

How is that not Butler's ball?

 

[stocker08]

Butler deflected it but Payne touched it before it landed out of bounds.

Maybe the whistle came first?

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Why did we get that ball back?

 

[GopherMarroon]

Hawk to Garcia. Beautiful!

 

[howeda7]

Karma gives Butler an easy 3.

 

[stocker08]

Garcia had that rebound in his hands.....

 

[BTChamp]

Maybe Payne stepping out of bounds before he touched it had something to do with the reversal? Other than that I have no idea what happened.

He didn't. The ref might have blown the whistle.

 

[Unregistered User]

Whistle went before Payne touched it.

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

You can see the ref blow the whistle before Payne even touches it. I’m not sure why he called it out but that’s what happened.

 

[howeda7]

Hopefully this game at least calmed Ben's terror of playing a real non-conference game.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

For a guy who has only played one season, Parker Fox is becoming one of my all-time favorite Gophers.

Same. Would love to hear them talk about him in the NCAA tournament next year. One of those stories they’d love to hype.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Come on!!

 

[Rex]

Hawkins with 14 assists

 

[stocker08]

OMG! What a turn of events!

 

[Homerpalooza]

Make these FTs!

 

[GopherMarroon]

Wow, what an ending happening!

 

[MplsGopher]

WHOAAAAA

 

[GophersInIowa]

WOW!

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Omg what a play

 

[Gilthorp57]

Holy shit!!!

 

[GoodasGold]

Myron could sell used cars in that coat.
