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

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

A positive, UMN is playing solid defense.

We're "really good at getting back after turnovers"

 

[GoodasGold]

The offense is pretty much inept against anyone that puts in effort on D. The fact that only Garcia and Mitchell can score makes it so easy to defend if you will make the effort.

The 31 second offense.

 

[Gilthorp57]

As much as the board nihilists are chirping.....they don't really mention that MSU isn't exactly lighting up the scoreboard either.

We've got em right where we want them!

This aged well.

 

[stocker08]

A bucket!

 

[howeda7]

I hope the NCAA Selection Committee isn't watching this one. I fear it may hurt our chances.

 

[slimmy22]

14 pts…uff da!

 

[scools12]

Gophers in tough spot on the road against one of the hottest teams in the country and the squad shows tremendous fight and puts up a competitive first half.

Well done

 

[Spottedmuskie]

That MN kid lighting us up

 

[Dsigma42]

I guess MSU only makes threes against Minnesota. They shot 50% last game and shooting threes well this game.

 

[howeda7]

The 31 second offense.

Well in the good old days you got 35 seconds. We might have up to 20 points if they didn't unfairly change that. Poor Ben.

 

[USAF]

I hope the NCAA Selection Committee isn't watching this one. I fear it may hurt our chances.

I dont think so.

I doubt anyone on the NCAA selection committee is watching this one.

 

[Gilthorp57]

That MN kid lighting us up

They always do

 

[howeda7]

I dont think so.

I doubt anyone on the NCAA selection committee is watching this one.

They might be, but we have zero chance now and had zero chance before this game. That was the joke.

 

[Ewert86PC]

"Magic 8 Ball, should I watch the second half of the Gophers/Spartans men's basketball game."

"Better not tell you now."

 

[USAF]

They might be, but we have zero chance now and had zero chance before this game. That was the joke.

I think you missed my joke.

 

[Ewert86PC]

That MN kid lighting us up

We didn't need Tre Holloman.

 

[Gophers7633]

I guess MSU only makes threes against Minnesota. They shot 50% last game and shooting threes well this game.

They actually shot the 3 pretty shitty most of the first half until Holloman made all those late. They missed a bunch of open looks from 3 or it would be worse.

 

[Rocksoldier]

At least we can’t give up any points during halftime

 

[Ewert86PC]

At least we can’t give up any points during halftime

"We can't? Whew!!"

 

[USAF]

At least we can’t give up any points during halftime

And our offense won't drop off

 

[golfing18now]

Well most of us didn't see it so there is that.

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

Why am I watching this? Well I paid for it and I was hopeful that the last three games would somehow allow us to be competitive.

Shame on me. But there is no shame in being a Gopher hoops fan.

 

[drewhaus7]

16 pts in the half...OUCH! MSU ready to make sure the Gophers(in the midst of dreaming) gets put back to reality here. Offense just running around not knowing what to do for the most part once again.

 

[USAF]

Why am I watching this?

It doesn't look any better on radio.

 

[GophersInIowa]

So much for the excitement after 3 wins in a row. Didn’t expect to win this one but boy this is embarrassing.

 

[USAF]

So much for the excitement after 3 wins in a row. Didn’t expect to win this one but boy this is embarrassing.

I think the issue is getting excited over a 3-6 team with zero postseason chances, simply because the 3 came in a row.

3-6 is 3-6, no matter what order the Ws happened to fall.

 

[drewhaus7]

Only 3 MN players have pts. 22 shots total in 20 minutes? Not good basketball

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

I have Peacock for the 90's wrestling archives. Gopher basketball is just a bonus

 

[Ewert86PC]

How empty will the next game at The Barn be?
