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

[Border Gopher]

Now there's a freshman mistake by Christie.

High school freshman-type mistake

 

[USAF]

Larry Bird went to Indiana state

And Kevin McHale went to the U. What's your point?

And Kevin McHale went to the U. What's your point?

Just a fun fact if you missed it on tv.

 

[GoodasGold]

"Top 25/First place in the B1G if everyone returns" Mark Coyle and Tom Izzo.

…and improves considerably.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

LOL.
Yeah, we can't expect Johnson to keep up with the likes of Indiana Fucking State.

NET ratings:
Indiana State #28
Gophers #87

I'm shocked that the higher-rated team is winning.

"Computers don't know anything".

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Granteed, we don't run a lot of good offense, but Payne has missed at least 4 bunnies, which are the kinds of shots you want.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

this could go sideways quickly

Fight through it - don’t wuss out

Took awhile, but go in 10 or less, I’ll take it after this garbage half

 

[VanillaThunder]

With Garcia on bench with 3 fouls and Hawkins in locker room getting checked out. Ben won’t have to worry about who he is going to sub in.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Would love to see Cam secure that draft spot in the second half.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

some bad body language on the bench with Hawkins

 

[howeda7]

Fox 1/6 from the line. Good lord.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

This team is so fucking poorly coached its ridiculous.
Do we have even ONE GD offensive play?

Please, please tell us specifically what offensive sets we should run instead

 

[howeda7]

some bad body language on the bench with Hawkins

I doubt he comes back in.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

The Gophers may be shooting a lower percentage from 2-feet than they are from 20-feet.

 

[holereader]

Looks like the officiating crew is also from the NIT

Rubes don't like facts

 

[BTChamp]

6 straight free throws and make 1. Back to just calling them "throws".

 

[UpAndUnder43]

If Ben can’t beat mid majors that are the Alma maters of basketball legends do we want to retain him?

San Francisco (Russell)
Indiana St (Larry—last white American NBA MVP)

 

[atsgopher]

On D they In St are not good. They are too slow. They use it impressively on Offense. On D, we are finally just playing smart, and exposing their weakness.

Keep it up early in the 2nd half, and put pressure on their bench.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I doubt he comes back in.

Everyone loves the team

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Hahahahahahaha.
This is what you Johnson bobos are begging for.

STFU already

 

[USAF]

Please, please tell us specifically what offensive sets we should run instead

How about AN offensive set?

 

[howeda7]

Please, please tell us specifically what offensive sets we should run instead

Did you like what we just ran at the end of the half there? Stand around for 28 seconds and throw up a panicked heave too late to avoid a shot clock violation? That's coaching.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

God that sucked.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Larry Bird went to Indiana state

He’s never heard of them

 

[DarthGopher]

Really poor awareness.

 

[Bring back the Axe]

pretty much everything that could go wrong went wrong in the first half. gophers are still in this for sure

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

On D they In St are not good. They are too slow.

Their guards are not slow.

 

[howeda7]

He won't, but Coyle should demand that Ben bring in an assistant who's been a head coach before. But they're thrilled with the staff as is.
