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

[Gopher Ally]

Give the scorekeeper the breathalyzer

 

[CentralGopher]

No kidding. Have they corrected the score?

 

[Roland Brooks]

Great backside seal board by JCJ

 

[Gopher Mac]

Must be a college graduate running the scoreboard in Illinois. Can't give the points to the correct team bad!!

 

[howeda7]

They are using AI to run the scoreboard.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

It was entertaining how long that went lol

I had to put the baby down and was like ugh THAT was fast. Immediately corrected the score. I must just not be able to leave the room.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Gotta hope that Illinois keeps settling for 3s.

 

[Gopher Ally]

No kidding. Have they corrected the score?

I believe so

 

[Drake University Gopher]

“Crock is Cooking!” Love it haha.

 

[WinMinGophers!]

Is this really happening?

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

I can’t believe we’re leading with all of Ill’s offensive rebounds.

 

[howeda7]

Even Shinholster hitting.

 

[Gopher Ally]

Loving the Zone!!

 

[GringaGopher]

Shinholster needs 2 shoot from farther out

 

[howeda7]

So far at the TV timeouts:

Gopher lead

Gopher lead

Tie

Gopher lead

 

[Gopherbbdude]

That's some pretty good defense right there

 

[Unregistered User]

Illinois has already played 9 guys

Gonna enjoy the season, but looking forward to some depth

That often happens when they keep chucking up brick 3s. Also gonna give up off boards in the zone with those. I’m more than ok with that as long as we stay out of foul trouble against all those bigs. And our prayers keep going in would be helpful too.

 

[bga1]

I have to believe the zone is helping preserve a little energy and it has been really effective.

 

[Gopher Mac]

Boy was I wrong! I watched a non-confence game earlier and made a comment that Niko's offense looked bad. This team has made great improvements. Both sides of the ball. Fun to watch well coached. Give him a few more players and a couple of years to recuit and future is bright. Go Gophers. Now on the womens side not so much yet.

The only "prayer" shot I have seen was Shinholster's 3. The rest have been really open shots.

Illiinois has made a couple of 30 footers..

 

[scools12]

Right there this half but getting killed on the defensive glass.

You would think we could stick Turner or Gizzi in for a minute to help keep guys from getting spent

More like a social media programmer running it through an algorithm.

We would probably beat San Francisco pretty easily now. Possibly Stanford and Santa Clara too.

JCJ with 2 fouls
Grove with 2 fouls

JCJ with 2 fouls
Grove with 2 fouls

Grove's second one was ridiculous. The ref waited to see that the shot was missed and then called it.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Our bigs have to stop running towards the midcourt stripe every time a shot goes up. That would help.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Shinholster needs 2 shoot from farther out

Has Shinholster mastered the logo 3?

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

I said to myself after that call that anything and everything can be a foul. It’s ridiculous.
