***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT wisconsin IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[howeda7]

Regardless of tonight's outcome, Saturday vs Nebraska is our Super Bowl!

 

[howeda7]

1 point from a competitive game moral victory!

 

[Redowl]

Take Garcia out, he can‘t catch or shoot

 

[Duker]

Garcia and Battle are so weak with the ball, these two have been very disappointing

 

[GopherBlood777]

Battle finally woke up

 

[howeda7]

No....Payne gets so lost on Defense

And? Improvement with playing time is the entire point.

 

[Bfan]

Effort can make a big difference on defense. Offense is more dependent on skill and talent. I am not sure how much better this offense can be. They flash like right now...

 

[GophersInIowa]

Garcia is soft. No way he should have lost that rebound.

Hopefully Santa put these in his stocking.

 

[bga1]

No....Payne gets so lost on Defense

Let him play. He'll learn. What are we playing for this year if not to get him and the other young guys up to speed?

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

Two consecutive o series and one D. Garcia needs the weight room

 

[jblass]

Wish Evans was here now. We really need a rim protector!

 

[Bad Gopher]

This is a game, people.

 

[bc2211]

Play of the year.

 

[bga1]

I like what I see from Henley tonight- little things.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Down 7, show us what you're made of Gophers!

 

[Redowl]

I wish we would recruit shooters like WI

 

[jblass]

I don't know why it's so hard here at Minnesota, but Wisconsin always has shooters and we never do.

It's just uncanny!

We have Cooper, Carrington, and Battle who are good spot up shooters. Just seems like our offense is not geared to get them open looks.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

JOJ and Payne 5/5…but battle and Garcia keep shooting.

 

[howeda7]

Officially a competitive game.

 

[stocker08]

I'd like the people who hate on Cooper to please step up.

 

[Outsider]

This is exactly why he belongs in the game. Payne rocks!

 

[jblass]

Holly Rebound Batman!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Basketball.

 

[howeda7]

Ugh. Battle. Be better.

 

[DanvilleGopher]

No....Payne gets so lost on Defense

What player on this team doesn't??

 

[GopherBlood777]

LET'S GOOOOO

 

[Redowl]

So why is Battle back in, he hasn’t learned to dribble!

 

[Bfan]

Great effort. Good hustle. Good rebounding.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Greder mentioned grittiness in a tweet. Have they turned the gritty corner? Let’s see how it plays out.

 

[Bad Gopher]

This is a different team with Payne on the floor.
