***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT NEBRASKA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[UpAndUnder43]

Payne seals his man. Easy high low for a dunk. Garcia air balls a jumper instead.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Payne is our best player next year. His development is fast. Build on that.

Even more head scratching that he doesn't start. The matchup for this game literally asked for it.

 

[BTChamp]

The crowd yells "AIR BALL", and the whole Gopher team looks around wondering who their taunting.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

The lack of shooting on this team is impressive at a D1 school. Lord.

Hand picked by Ben. Or possibly students who texted Ben about playing at the U.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Bias detected

No doubt. But it is my all time favorite move.

lol

 

[Redowl]

Payne is wide open and doesn’t get the ball!

 

[howeda7]

If we lose by 20…now that we lost Evans…Ben should not be let back on the plane for the flight home

Leaving someone stranded in Nebraska is cruel and unusual punishment.

 

[bga1]

They are not hitting shots but the ball movement is better than I have seen in a while from the Gophers

 

[upnorthkid]

the number of guys afraid to shoot a wide open 3 but taking a sideways jumping fallaway deep 2... amazing

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Odd Hoiberg didn’t take a free timeout there.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Not one free throw

 

[howeda7]

Is it possible Gophers are holding back for the tournament.

Strategery.

 

[BTChamp]

Not one free throw

I was just going to say they went a whole half without missing a free throw.

 

[skiumah1]

This should be a competitive 5, Cooper Battle Payne JOJ Garcia

 

[stocker08]

Leaving someone stranded in Nebraska is cruel and unusual punishment.

Depends on where you leave them. Is it close to an airport?

 

[GophersInIowa]

The good news: Nebraska scored just 12 pts in the last 11 minutes of the half.

The bad: Gophers scored just 13 in that same timeframe.

 

[AfterGlow19]

Can't remember the last time they had a half time lead

 

[GophersInIowa]

Guards are a combined 1 of 9 for 3 pts.

 

[bga1]

Some good things that half (Payne) but Battle, Cooper and Garcia 6-24 shooting kills us. 6 of our 7 turnovers from that trio as well. The kids, Payne, JOJ, Henley are learning on offense. Obviously Henley needs to shoot better with the opportunities he gets. But those 3 have played good ball!

 

[upnorthkid]

Can't remember the last time they had a half time lead

the OSU win. tied vs michigan when we lost by 4. also led at home vs nebraska. only 2 times leading at half in B10 play

Granted, Lincoln itself is OK. Just don't venture too far out of town.

 

[howeda7]

The good news: Nebraska scored just 12 pts in the last 11 minutes of the half.

The bad: Gophers scored just 13 in that same timeframe.

Nebraska was on pace for 100 for the first 10 minutes.

Wow. Pathetic. We did lead Indiana in the final minute but still.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Fire the staff.

 

[Tully55]

The lack of shooting on this team is impressive at a D1 school. Lord.

I turned the game on at the 10 minute mark. For the rest of the half, Minn shoots 5 for 19...a whopping 26%.

 

[upnorthkid]

Wow. Pathetic. We did lead Indiana in the final minute but still.

MN is 2-13-1 in 1st halves
MN is 4-12 in 2nd halves

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Iowa scored 23 in 90 seconds today.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

According to Fleck... thank God this is year 1

 

[howeda7]

Iowa scored 23 in 90 seconds today.

Will we score 23 this half?
