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

BS third foul on Christie.

 

[rivergopher]

Why just why when you have all big ten player in deep post position do you shoot a one dribble pull up.

 

[007gopherfan]

We take the most worthless dumb fouls

 

[rivergopher]

Sisouku is getting away with murder and they call some bs on Payne.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Boy, these refs seem to be looking for foul opportunities against our players.

 

[GopherFan21]

Frustrating not to get a bucket those last few possessions. Nice chance to close up the game.

 

[scools12]

Gophers are not a very smart basketball team.

 

[Gophers7633]

PP and Christie with 3. Damn. Given the opponent this is the best half we played so far. Sucks we have foul issues. Hopefully these last 4 minutes go well b

 

[rivergopher]

10 turnovers argh.

 

[007gopherfan]

Two words sum up our difficulties.....TERRIBLE OFFENSE

 

[upnorthkid]

refs are having an interesting game.

 

[Gilthorp57]

There's a reason why Ihnen was traveling, his arm was grabbed.

more than once.

Maybe so but I don't know why Ihnen chose to dribble between two MICH ST players instead of going left and passing off unobstructed.

 

[007gopherfan]

There's a reason why Ihnen was traveling, his arm was grabbed.

Two simple passes and we have a decent 3 shot attempt...instead he tries to dribble through. We never fast break in the big 10 which is another reason our offense is terrible. Every single series we let the opponent get back and setup.

We are actually playing poorly. What is saving our bacon right now is that we are making shots. Otherwise the defense is a sieve and the offense is not looking good.

 

[007gopherfan]

11 to 1 on Turnovers.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Well, considering we had 11 turnovers and 8 fouls, that half certainly could have been worse.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Have to get JOJ going, he's going to be the key if we are going to win. He should never have zero points and one shot attempt.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Not able to watch, but checking the score occasionally. Pleasantly surprised by the score and concerned with the fouls.

 

[stocker08]

Shooting much better this game.

 

[CycloneGopher]

JOJ was benched most the half because his recovery early on defense was awful. We do need his assertiveness on offense but he's got to play both sides.

 

[Gophers7633]

That certainly is helping the cause. 5/11 from 3 is music to my ears. You're right we could be playing better.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Shooting much better this game.

Rebounding pretty well too

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Missing the Hawkins assists and steals tonight. Guys are having to get their own shots. Still, not so bad.

 

[LesBolstad]

You have virtually no chance of winning on the road when Rob Riley is reffing. Gophers are 0-68 with him on the court away from home. WTF does the B10 allow this clown to have a job?

ps: Payne what a dumbass 4th foul a minute into 2nd half. Jack Wilson sighting!

 

[stocker08]

Bitch ass refs. Going to foul Payne out on bad calls.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

LETS GO!!!!

 

[rivergopher]

Come on wilson seriously

 

[Gilthorp57]

Big Country sighting!!!!
