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

[stocker08]

I guess I’m in the minority, but I find this broadcast pretty interesting. I wouldn’t want it every game but it’s a good way to shake it up. I don’t think they need to make the game feed quite so small though.

Me too. It's a neat change of pace. Wouldn't want it for most or even half the game....but it's fine every once in a while.

 

[Five Toes]

Payne on the low block is money

He is fun to watch as a Freshman against older players

 

[stocker08]

Payne rules.

 

[mplarson7]

Why are they getting my hopes up?

 

[stocker08]

Flop

 

[upnorthkid]

Eesh Henley. Smart from key to just fall over, but awful officiating

 

[jblass]

Looked more like a flop to me!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

What mistake are you referring to?

Picking up his dribble?

He is fun to watch as a Freshman against older players

so explosive- like me on a nerf hoop

 

[skyman31]

Different strokes for different folks.

Besides, you can mute the TV and listen to the radio broadcast.

So what’s the big deal?

Alright, hearing the coaches interact with the refs is pretty cool actually. I always am interested in what they actually say to each other, that’s a nice touch.

 

[Roland Brooks]

Is the score still 0-0?

Started 7-0 because refs hate Gopher sports….

 

[upnorthkid]

Henley really really struggling

 

[Halsey Hall]

Is this the only broadcast?? This is gonna get muted real fast

ABSOLUTELY UNWATCHABLE. WORST BROADCAST EVER. WHO WANTS TO HEAR THAT OSU MORON SHOUT THE WHOLE GAME? TINY SCREEN. I DON'T MIND THE HUDDLES BUT GOOD GOD GET BACK TO NORMAL.

I also think it shows people that Ben is working his tail off 2.

Takes a big man to admit he’s changed his mind

If you glance down at your keyboard, there’s something that says “Caps Lock” that should fix the problem you’re having.

 

[upnorthkid]

The wasting clock is such garbage

 

[stocker08]

The wasting clock is such garbage

That should be a one free throw technical.

 

[Bad Gopher]

There's no reason the Gophers can't play at least this well in the second half. Will rely on consistently good effort and attention to detail on defense. This can be done!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Great first half
Horrible non travel call miissed at end against OSU

 

[Five Toes]

Picking up his dribble?

so explosive- like me on a nerf hoop

Me on my trash can!

Them damn kids and that hippty hoppy music

 

[MennoSota]

Nice 1st half. Henley killed the momentum with a silly foul and two awful defensive efforts to give ohio a handful of points.
Love the energy and ball movement this 1st half. We need another half like this. Value each possession.

 

[cjbfbp]

Best defense of the season. Very good ball movement too. We'll see if they can sustain it.

 

[GFBfan]

That should be a one free throw technical.

I don't know why the ref caught it. The OSU player was out of bounds and passed the ball onto the floor. Ref should have stepped out of the way.

 

[BTChamp]

I also think it shows people that Ben is working his tail off 2.

Takes a big man to admit he’s changed his mind

I agree. His energy and enthusiasm are a lot more than I would have thought. I guess I would think that for any coach that would be on this broadcast, but this shows things in a different light. I like it.

To an untrained eye, Ben is outcoaching the other guy, just on effort.

 

[GopherBlood777]

We look like a basketball team again, similar to the first half of last season. Heck yeah!

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Really interesting insight into the huddles. Hilarious to see the difference between home and away. No wonder it’s tough to win away, look at those chairs they get!

 

[GFBfan]

I liked the stuff on the board. Looks like we need to work on the transition points (increase ours and decrease theirs) then do the same on 2nd chance points and this game is ours.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Interesting - Gopher halftime Ben does all the talking. OSU coach deferred a lot more to the assistants.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Payne just scared me with that deep baritone Let’s Go

 

[cjbfbp]

Really interesting insight into the huddles. Hilarious to see the difference between home and away. No wonder it’s tough to win away, look at those chairs they get!

I know! I thought the contrast between the home and visitor locker room was striking. Do the Gophers also give the visiting team a shabby locker room?
