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

[LesBolstad]

That was a wildly ugly layup for a basketball player at any level.

Microcosm of the BJ era: opponent plays like dogschitt and Gophers play ok.
And we lead by 2.

Playing some spirited roundball tonight!

 

[Gopherbbdude]

D is impressive

If there's one thing that keeps me going this year (well outside of hoping I never have to see CBJ again), it's that I hope we see Asuma for 4 years. He just strikes me as a great kid who is loyal and although maybe not NBA level good, just does so many good things on the floor. He will be the new coaches dream building block.

And your posting: never miss an opportunity to go for negative

Too much moving the ball around early in the game. Back to our bread and butter: standing around and chucking one up with 2 seconds left on the shot clock.

Yeah, that ain't going to cut it.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Satisfying finish to a satisfying half. I'm enjoying this!

 

[jblass]

Why do we pass up a good shot, let the shot clock run down, and then take a wild shot! Drives me nuts!

It looks semi-legit.

One more good half and make them beat us.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Not an inspiring game by either team so far but having a lead on the road is better than being behind. I have a feeling that Iowa will play with more energy in the second half so I hope that we can do the same.

Worry not for we shall adjust it out during halftime.

 

[jblass]

I really don’t like the slow ball we play at times. Get the ball up the floor quick, might be to get a good look at a three, or catch the defense off balance and get an inside score.

 

[howeda7]

Good first half overall. However, Parker please remember you're on the basketball team, not gymnastics.

 

[howeda7]

I miss Francon 1, he's almost catatonic over there.

Sad.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

I'm not saying Betts is anything special, but he has a nice looking shot. Hits a 3 from the corner and is immediately taken out of the game.....strange.

Normally I would agree with you, but I'm not sure you want to try to run with Iowa. Pace has been good so far for the Gophers.

Ben SOP

 

[stocker08]

Nice open to the half too. Would have been awesome if Mitchell had been able to cash that steal.

 

[Spottedmuskie]

whooooooooo weeeeeee we came out hot

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Lets get Fran fired

 

[Gilthorp57]

Pivot foot Freeman travels everytime he has the ball.

He's a secret agent. Ben has to handle carefully.

 

[howeda7]

FranCon5 alert.

 

[Blackhammer]

Mitchell jacking shots and turning the ball over. Johnson lets players do what they want.Not the pace we want.

Who designed that ugly ass logo on the coaches pullovers?

 

[GophersInIowa]

Fran was ready to go nuclear there

 

[stocker08]

WTF!? Has Mitchell been sick all year or something?

 

[Gilthorp57]

Fran was ready to go nuclear there

That's the Francon we all know and love lol

Finally a foul on iowa this half.
