***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE RARE MID-WEEK AFTERNOON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

Playing like a Pitino coached team

 

[UpAndUnder43]

The offense is really stagnant. Earlier in the year it seemed like they moved with a purpose.

 

[VanillaThunder]

Failure of any semblance of an inside game I the absence of red hot shooting is a recipe for disaster. Have to get some high percentage looks.

 

[nitramnaed]

Now we’re cooking!!

With gas?

Don’t u blaspheme now!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

On the one hand, the Gophers are scoring under a point a minute. On the other they can make it a two possession game after this timeout.

Can handle most anything from this team, but honestly thought they would shoot better.

 

[Tully55]

No answer to the pick and roll

 

[nitramnaed]

Yikes! Can’t let Hercules come off that screen

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Curry shoots a lot.

 

[PhiloVance]

Is 20 points by half time out of the question?

Points in the Paint

MN 4

PSU 16

I keep a pan of acid next to my screen to soak my face in for games like these

How far down the pines is Thiam sitting. I haven't seen the man on the court in a month.

 

[GoodasGold]

3 on Curry. Anybody open?

 

[GringaGopher]

Curry starting his dribble outside of the paint is almost always the wrong answer....

 

[nitramnaed]

Curry is dribbling to much

 

[stocker08]

Four guys sink down into the paint when Curry has the ball. Where is everyone else?

 

[PhiloVance]

And the 1st half is usually our best half.

 

[Allshade]

He's got handles baby.

 

[GopherBlood777]

This is our worst half of basketball since the last half we played, can Johnson rally the team for an upward trend or have we not yet reached the bottom?

 

[scools12]

Gophers look like a tired squad who is ready for the season to be over with.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Well, 19 is as close to 20 as you can get!! Yes!

[topos]

It's just impossible to win in this league without players that can rebound and score in the paint. We knew that going in, but it's painful to watch.

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

We all like Ben but now is the time for him to do something about this.

 

[GoodasGold]

This is our worst half of basketball since the last half we played, can Johnson rally the team for an upward trend or have we not yet reached the bottom?

Stay tuned.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Well, that could have gone better. Unfortunately, it's starting to look as if this team is just out of gas. PSU just looks they want it more.

 

[Allshade]

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
