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

[upnorthkid]

Yeah, they can't let their historical cadillac team miss the NCAA tournament.

yeah we definitely all need to see them lose in the first round again.

 

[stocker08]

It does feel weak to complain about the refs when we have 17 TO’s but they are making it impossible for us to contest. Plus all the FT’s given to Sparty.

I don't see why that would matter.

 

[DarthGopher]

I guess the positive is this is the most feisty I've felt in 3 years with Gopher BB. Team at least has a pulse!

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Urinating this golden opportunity away.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

JOJ with the dumb pass of the night award.

 

[007gopherfan]

No pts besides the 2 free throws in last 4 minutes or so....JUST DON'T HAVE AN OFFENSE besides hoping some shots go in.

 

[GopherFan21]

Need a Mitchell three here!

 

[scools12]

When you turn the ball over this many times and the majority of them absolutely dumb plays you don’t deserve to win.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Some of the most boneheaded turnovers. Like my goodness, my eight year old nephew knows better than that.

 

[Outsider]

What is Mitchell doing?

 

[upnorthkid]

What is Mitchell doing?

trying to play hero for a team with dead legs

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

What is Mitchell doing?

Trying to close the gap quickly considering the time. Can't really blame him.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

Too fucking easy.

 

[007gopherfan]

CMON CBJ stand up for your team...get a technical foul...that was not a foul on Payne...

Sorry see no foul now.

 

[upnorthkid]

definitely off msu

 

[scools12]

Gophers played hard but way too many TOs.

 

[stocker08]

definitely off msu

Pretty easy call. But refs needed to make it seem like they were giving the Gophers a break.

 

[Redowl]

Do the refs work for Izzy? He is always talking to them.

 

[dlnavra]

IMO one of the worst MSU rosters in many years. It would not have been a celebration to beat them on their home court.

Izzo works the refs including heading into the locker room at half time while passive Gophers do their thing. And fouls pile up…..

A continued lesson in passive coaching and quiet acceptance of outcomes. Don’t blame the refs. Gophers have a formidable/tall/respectable roster.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Ben!!!!

 

[007gopherfan]

Another game we had a chance to throw it away with no OFFENSE...just turnovers and missed key free throws.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Had every opportunity and just pissed it away

 

[Gilthorp57]

No point in fouling now, smh

 

[goldengophers]

Deserves more time based on 1.5 weeks of good coaching in year 3.

Don't blame the refs for being bullied into making calls differently for one team?

 

[CPTMidnight]

Well my two takeaways from tonight's loss are:

1. This team is still way more fun to watch than last years team.

2. Izzo does not need to increase his payments to the refs.

 

[XMan]

Man this was tied up 62-62. Then went south fast

 

[upnorthkid]

gotta even up those fouls for the final sheet so it makes it seem even

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Just not the same team with Hawkins out. Gophers aren't good enough to win on the road w/out their starting PG.
