***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[DEGopherfan]

interesting flagrant one call. I really don’t know if it’s a good or bad call. Thoughts?

I thought Luke was fouled on the play. He probably thought so too.

 

[GopherVotary]

Damn good effort.

 

[freshtrout]

The player getting the inbounds pass shuffled his feet, anyone see that? Not likely to be called but it was pretty obvious.

 

[howeda7]

Ben says Curry is "day to day". Ben's been pretty honest about stuff up to now, I think this is coach speak.

 

[XMan]

Darn what a game. The guys battled so hard. Nice job Gopher players and coaches.

 

[Some guy]

They really should have, given the odds of winning in OT were not good.

Not mad for not doing it, but would’ve been fine to lose that way.

 

[pigtail]

Ben and company will surprise more teams this season ~ now praying Curry will be ok ~ my heart sank when he went down ~ did you see Battle pounding the floor knowing his teammate was hurt ~ imagine how he felt ~ proud of the way our young men hung with Michigan State # 10 in the country an eyelash away from a victory on the road....go Ben Johnson & company fill that barn with fan's screaming like crazy ~

 

[DEGopherfan]

Incredible effort. Izzo probably out coached by Ben. If it wasn’t for FT misses, we win.

 

[howeda7]

Not mad for not doing it, but would’ve been fine to lose that way.

Given no Curry and we were gassed, we had to try and win in regulation. Normally play for OT.

 

[Johnnyboy18]

#5 traveled really bad before he passed to the cut man on the last possession.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Damn…have given MSU all they can handle twice now. Bet Izzo is glad to be done with Minnesota for the regular season. Great effort.

 

[PhiloVance]

Moral victory = 1-4 B1G record.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I would have played for the win. Maybe explain why Willis doubled when he did but it was a tough spot to do it from.

Fuck Izzo.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I thought Luke was fouled on the play. He probably thought so too.

I agree but that isn't worth arguing about. I was just talking about the flagrant foul

 

[WriterGoph]

Any chance Parker Fox reconsiders things?

I doubt it. I mean, even if he comes back, our team still has depth issues and is not guaranteed to make the tourney. Hard to blame the kid for wanting to get two full seasons as a Gopher - his lifetime dream school.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I knew going in we didn’t have a chance but I’ll wait to judge Ben on next year’s results. Posting this now will save time after the game.

Time saved.

I did see what I thought was Battle saying "Fuck" into his shirt. Could just be an emotional respense to any pain to his teammate, or maybe he saw/knows something more than we do.

But yeah, anything for Curry is just such an injustice. That man should achieve Sainthood, given his patience and humility based on attacks to body.

No argument. But his potential impact this year this year just went up a lot.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

No argument. But his potential impact this year this year just went up a lot.

May be too little too late. To come back to battle for a possible NCAA/NIT bid doesn't necessarily make sense for him OR the team long-term. Not like we think Fox is leaving early for the pros.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

If we could have grabbed that lose ball it might have ended different. But we had to win the game and not go into O.T. We were gassed. Huge effort from such a small bench.

Would have been huge. 18 seconds left......tie game with the ball

 

[howeda7]

Or the NCAA may be 3 weeks away from declaring this season another "freebie". A lot of unknowns.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

#5 traveled prior to the pass to bad not a ref in the arena was watching it.

 

[PhiloVance]

Sean Sutherlin left his man for the game winning lay up.

 

[max2shifty]

Lets give Ben Johnson some credit and appreciation. He coached his ass off tonight

 

[GoodasGold]

Man, I’m not usually someone to judge guys when they get hurt, but Gabe Brown looked like he blew out his whole leg by the way he acted when he hit the ground, and walked it off 5 seconds later

Low pain-threshold

 

[goldenboy]

With 18 seconds left in a tie game when you really need a stop, why wasn’t Daniels in the game? We got beat because they took it into the lane and dropped it off for a score over smaller defenders. If we had the ball, I could see staying with the small lineup, but all we needed was a stop.

 

[GFBfan]

Sean Sutherlin left his man for the game winning lay up.

If he doesn't step over it's a layup. Thought he should have stayed on the ground and tried to take a charge.

 

[GoodasGold]

interesting flagrant one call. I really don’t know if it’s a good or bad call. Thoughts?

When mugged on the basketball court, always keep extremities as low as possible so that the mugger doesn’t trip on his escape.

 

[BrooklynGopher]

Great game and a heartbreaker man. Loved the energy and the coaching.

 

[GoodasGold]

Got to make the free throws!

It’s a cerebral thing!
