I think if it were goaltending at the end of regulation players would have been going mental.

The replays didn’t have a great view of it.

This team is obviously not built for OT. Almost guaranteed one of our iron 5 will foul out.

Another game where the depth cost us. With big Rob’s 7 boards per game we probably win by 7.

It’s a really bittersweet feeling knowing the program in a good place long term, but also seeing if we had our full squad we’d be projected as about a 9 seed at the moment.

To your point about the missing Rob rebounds, a key (maybe the key) to the “Iron Five” winning the 1971-1972 Big Ten title was Jim Brewer’s rebounding. Offensive rebounds negating two/three stops a game is a difference if not the difference between winning and losing.

This is a team that I so badly want for them to be rewarded for their effort. They are very well coached and don't beat themselves. Every team that they face knows that they are in for a fight. It makes me proud to be a Gopher fan. I don't know when the last time was that I felt so happy to be cheering on a Gopher basketball team because they were so fun to watch. Probably, it was under Clem.
Man, a victory over Nebraska would be nice.

Sucks to have to say it, but we aren’t going to win any games, especially in OT if we “only” get 33 minutes out of Tyson.

He also took the fewest shots of the starting five. He keeps passing up open 3s and stopping drives. He cannot play 33 minutes in that game and take 6 shots.

On the goaltending...

He probably gives the ball a nudge just a split-second after it bounces on the rim, at about the exact same time. His hand is definitely there. The ball makes a bounce motion that probably has to be the rim.
