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

[GFBfan]

All I’m saying is they aren’t that great and we played as hot as can be and got lucky to survive. That was c a clean block. I’m not arguing with anyone, just pointing out it’s not a great win as this isn’t a great team in OSU and they will probably be 8th in the B10

It's a road win in the BIG. Great win even if you want to try and downplay it because it doesn't fit your narrative. It might have been a clean block but was called a foul and we capitalized. Funny how you didn't mention the carry on Sensabaugh that wasn't called or the ball out of bound without Cooper touching it.

Let it go.

Big 10 post game spends the entire time talking about the foul. Yawn.

This isn't that uncommon in basketball.

 

[Five Toes]

FS1 post game is throwing the BIG Officials under the bus. They saw what we see ever game in this league.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Let it go.

100%

All of the other stuff we talk about between games doesn't matter, if you can't fully celebrate a Gopher win, why even care?

I'd rather be wrong and the Gophers win and right and have them lose.

FS1 guys, don't think B1G Network would call out their own officials.

Then they should also talk about the phantom deflection leading to the OSU possession late in the game. That was key and late.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Good win. Not one I had circled as winnable. Next few games loom large to show sustained competitiveness. 3 straight games they could have or did win

That was an air ball. Everyone carries the ball. On the air ball, the missed call lead to nothing, on the block it lead to the gophers win…big difference.

 

[touchdownvikings]

Wasn't a foul.

Very nice win. The point isn't the win, per se. It's the assembly of the team and its constituents - we're seeing it happen. This is a development year, as will be next year. Toward the end of next year, we'll begin to see the stable outcome. For now, relax and enjoy. Nice showing tonight for the guys.

What is the purpose of replay if you are just going to make shiiiiit up. Enforce the rules...don't make your own rules up.

 

[topos]

Very proud of this team and their stamping of a Quad 4 "L" on the Ohio St. resume!

They liked that the ball was given to Ohio State during the broadcast.

The announcers glossed over that one

Cooper got the rebound and would have had a great chance to score with no foul

 

[cncmin]

Nice win!! love the continued fight from this team.

Illinois on Monday is very winnable.

Well, duh! The Gophers took advantage and tOSU didn't!

Taking care of the ball and playing defense all game is what won this game not the refs.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Good win! Credit to the players and coach!

2nd win at OSU in 18 years but the refs!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Wow.
Major step - signature Win!

 

[GopherVotary]

Basketball is the worst officiated sport. Nothing new there.

 

[leib0039]

By FAR best have of the year. Played well on both ends, kept their composure late. Well done Ben and team, last 3 games have given room for optimism.

 

[stocker08]

Good point. Refs tried to screw the Gophers out of an easy bucket by forcing Cooper to go to the line. Almost worked too.

 

[Cobra]

Congrats Gopher cagers on the B1G road win!!! You fought hard til the end.
Keep building that foundation!

 

[MennoSota]

Illinois may be a tough matchup for us, but we can give it a go.

The missed call led to another OSU possession. Had we gotten the ball there, we wouldn't have needed a Cooper FT at the end because we would have put the game out of reach earlier.

 

[kg21]

One thing that was disappointing was damn, Henley, JOJ, and Carrington were either brutal or did absolutely nothing.

 

[DEGopherfan]

Great gritty win, toughed it out. Impressive to hear Ben Mike’d up. Could have put it away earlier with free throws. Something needs to be done about that! Samuels, ugh!
