***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN IN-GAME THREAD TWAS NIGHT BEFORE XMAS THEME!!!***

[howeda7]

New era bro. Time for u to become a glass half bro

Yeah...but did you watch the Vikings game the other night...

 

[Gophers7633]

Unreal. What a win. I'll admit I was skeptical of the Johnson hire, but he's coaching the hell out of it. Everyone knows their role incredibly well. That's a sign of good coaching.

 

[max2shifty]

I think I get it now. Agreed - I was ready to take Michigan on the spread.

I took gophers ml

 

[Cayman]

Hodge-podge of mid-major transfers - 75. Number 1 recruiting class - 65.

 

[GophersInIowa]

If we can stay healthy, lookout. This team plays so hard.

 

[fmlizard]

10 point quad 1 win in a place where it’s been very painful for years. Awesome!

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Wisconsin, byu won't be ranked

 

[MaroonShaft]

But we can’t get injured

 

[howeda7]

Juwan Howard in absolute shambles.

Beilein coming back to pick up the pieces?

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

What is this team?

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Yeah...but did you watch the Vikings game the other night...

I’m not talking Vikes bro. I’m talking Gopher hoops.

I don’t give 2 about Vikes and this is a GOPHER board.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Are we ranked now! I’m guessing 24.

I don't know if we're top 25, but this group is playing like a top-40 team.

 

[howeda7]

We kept playing D inside 4 minutes instead of just letting them have lay-ups as happens so often...

 

[Spottedmuskie]

Watching the wolves and gophers all these years and we've never had a coach even close to this. Ben going to get Battle to the league and some others into the G league. Wow

 

[howeda7]

I’m not talking Vikes bro. I’m talking Gopher hoops.

All MN teams have the choking gene. Maybe this one is immune.

 

[Angry]

But we can’t get injured

Hey you don’t say that!

 

[MaroonShaft]

We will be ranked now

Conference on notice we comin for you. You can’t even hide at home. We’re comin there too.

 

[stocker08]

Are we ranked now! I’m guessing 24.

I don't see how the AP keeps them out now. One single digit loss to a ranked team. Michigan was getting votes this past week.

 

[scools12]

They are basically that mid major who has all seniors and gives everyone a game despite being small. Enjoyable to watch and I was wrong on this team. Way better than I expected—even if they don’t have a sterling B1G record.

This is a pretty good comparison.

Battle is a legit B1G scorer.

The way they play without turning the ball over it they can hold their own on the boards should be right there in the majority of games.

Battle is going to be a star, if he’s not already

 

[MaroonShaft]

All MN teams have the choking gene. Maybe this one is immune.

They seem very unlike a Minnesota team. For real tho they’ve felt different.

 

[kg21]

If Liam Robbins had stayed, we may be undefeated!

Great win gophers, I've always hated Michigan hoops.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

All MN teams have the choking gene. Maybe this one is immune.

 

[Holy Man]

If Marcus doesn't give them a vote, we riot...

Peacefully protest.

 

[DEGopherfan]

Haven’t heard much from Build for awhile. I’d love his analysis of where we are at this time.

 

[kg21]

Battle is going to be a star, if he’s not already

Is going to be one of my favorite gophers ever.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

This team is for real. Love how hard these guys play. Great win. Congrats to coach on his first of many, many big 10 wins!

They play hard, exceptionally smart and they have two guys who can get buckets efficiently (and within the offense).

Ben's a smart guy and his team doesn't break their identity when they have speed bumps.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Battle is going to be a star, if he’s not already

All Conference

 

[Holy Man]

Unreal. What a win. I'll admit I was skeptical of the Johnson hire, but he's coaching the hell out of it. Everyone knows their role incredibly well. That's a sign of good coaching.

Mature players too.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Ben outcoached Juwan I hate to say. They forgot about Dickinson for long stretches. He was an automatic two points underneath. I'll take it!
