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

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.
 


I don't know if it's the same rule as in the NBA, but there you can only challenge a goaltending if it is called on the court. You can challenge it to reverse a goaltending call, but can't challenge the lack of a call.

And it was goaltending. LOL

My question is earlier with a couple of minutes left, Tyson drives.....OSU player goes up and grabs the rim (really obvious)...Tyson then keeps driving and hits the basket and gets fouled. Isn't that a technical for grabbing the rim while the ball is in play like that????
 

I believe the coach's challenge for goaltending can only be used if goaltending is actually called and only in the first 38 minutes of a game.

In the final two minutes, officials can initiate their own review of potential goaltending on shots where goaltending wasn't called on the floor. It appears the officials did not initiate a review of this play at the end of regulation, which is insane. Or, maybe they did review and the braindead TV crew didn't inform us. That is possible. The review would have likely had many more camera angles than the two crappy ones floating around from the live TV broadcast. Although watching both angles, I think it was goaltending.
