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

[holereader]

So was that also applicable in the three B10 wins, sport?

Michigan was a gift - got lucky v Maryland - just watch the offensive possessions in this game tonight - no structure no flow - just making it up and throwing up prayers - good f we don’t turn it over first

#2 for IU suuucks
Embarrassing they even have to play him

#2 can shoot, but refuses to

So if a team tips a rebound to themselves beyond half court, that's not over and back?

 

[Outsider]

We are cold as ice from the outside

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

For as as we’ve played, we’re fortunate to be this close

 

[stocker08]

So nice to have a point guard who can knock down an open shot.

Excuses are for haters and losers.

Real men give credit where credit is due, any can criticize - that doesn’t make you a sensei or a reader.

We have them right where we want them...

You should let Ben Johnson know that he should start Payne, coach.

Crabby tonight? Payne has been our best player so far and clearly matches up best against IU front court. It was a sincere question. If you don't have an answer you don't have to respond.

 

[Gophers7633]

Reneau and Galloway both with two. My guess is based on how Woodson coaches they'll sit the rest of the half. Need to cut this lead to 6-8.

Missed opportunity. Only cut into the lead by 2.

10 is doable. Good recovery to
Make it to striking distance. Or are we only going with negativity tonight?

 

[beatles]

That was one of the most frustrating 20 minutes of basketball I’ve ever watched.

No, it is not.

Strzoker has answers, just never ever the correct answer.

 

[Frink]

Well we got down early because we got out worked. Later we couldn't fully catch up just cuz we weren't shooting well.
Doable but there's a lot to be cleaned up.

Payne is or best player and should start.

I can't believe we're getting this brilliant analysis FOR FREE. Thanks for the really smart takes, holeeater.

So if a team tips a rebound to themselves beyond half court, that's not over and back?

I was wondering the same thing. My thought is that when the ball hits the rim, it's considered a new possession and tipping the ball isn't considered possession.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Now get ready for the converse.

 

[BTChamp]

Complete negativity. One of Payne's made free throws grazed the rim. Gotta get better.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

We're only down 10 and Indiana's 7 footer is hitting 3s. We didn't get much from Christie, Garcia, Hawkins or Mitchell and we only forced 2 TOs.

 

[goldenboy]

I know second half comebacks are exciting, but I might suggest a new strategy: don’t dig yourself a double-digit hole. Geez, we start so flat most games.

 

[RogueGopher]

#2 can shoot, but refuses to

He can shoot? Based on what?
His 3 shots plus free throw tonight were trash

What are you talking about? Clearly you know better than Ben Johnson and staff.....coach. You should tell them how they are wrong and you know basketball better than they do.....coach.

 

[beatles]

No, it is not.

It’s not by rule but it should be.

 

[stocker08]

You post like a broken AI.

Averaged over 30 a game in HS, most from long range. Hasn't found his shot at this level.

 

[Blackhammer]

Mitchell and Garcia were terrible and too many careless turnovers. Can’t come out flat on the road.

 

[RogueGopher]

Lol. This ain't HS

Watch him play at IU, kid doesn't belong on the court right now. He's way overmatched.

 

[GoodasGold]

Christie has his dawber down. He needs to buck up. Maybe a couple threes and some FTs will do the trick.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Because I asked a question? I'm open to your opinion on why it's best he doesn't start. We are here to talk basketball right, but only on terms satisfactory to you? Noted.
