*** OFFICIAL MINNESOTA-NORTHWESTERN IN-GAME THREAD ***

[GoodasGold]

We do live in the 20th century and have the technology...and sometimes I wish college basketball referees' whistles were program for a finite number of tweets. You know, so they had to decide if it really was worth tooting. Sheesh!!

 

[XMan]

Damn...now put them away. Make a nice run

 

[mnsports255]

Northwestern, still the ugliest cheerleaders in the B1G.

Well, you know the saying.
"Beauty comes from within"

 

[MadtownGopher]

Hollins with two quick turnovers to start the half. Not good.

 

[notoriousgod71]

Turnovers rearing their ugly head to begin this half.

 

[Moses87]

I'm ready to start Kendall Shell at the PG and move Andre to the 2....He has about 4 turnovers in his last 5 possessions

 

[LAgopher]

People may complain about mav being an instant TO but can't be worse than Dre tonight...

 

[Moses87]

Andre is killing us on both ends.

 

[gopherMD]

Andre Hollins is dreadful. Put Mav in.

 

[Moses87]

Every possession needs to go inside....EVERY DAMNED ONE!

 

[XMan]

They do not have an answer for trevor

 

[Tully55]

Andre Hollins has been awful...turnovers, bad defense, and Awful shooting.

turnovers? .... if you're going to bitch and moan, at least get your facts right

 

[Moses87]

Anybody know why Austin is not playing?

 

[MadtownGopher]

Hopefully we drop 50 in the 2nd half again.

 

[notoriousgod71]

Just go inside every possession. They have no one that can stop us down low.

 

[big10guy]

Welch is playing well, we need more from him the rest of the season. He could be big for us with some offense and spelling Andre at point.

 

[Moses87]

Why didn't Trev dunk that??

 

[westcoastgopher11]

Northwestern is going to have to guard Mbakwe with a SF soon.

 

[dboy]

playing better now... but andre is making mav look like an all american

 

[XMan]

Can trevor make a free throw?

 

[LAgopher]

turnovers? .... if you're going to bitch and moan, at least get your facts right

Well he did have 2 turnovers to start the half

 

[notoriousgod71]

Make a FT, please.

 

[Moses87]

Trev has left 6 points at the FT line...OUCH- Making matters worse he passed up the dunk for some strange reason.

 

[Cayman]

Why didn't Trev dunk that??

I thought it got swatted away pretty hard on the foul.

 

[Moses87]

for the luv of god, make some FT's TREV!!!!

 

[XMan]

playing better now... but andre is making mav look like an all american

Just wait for Sid's article tomorrow about how Andre was hurt.

 

[Moses87]

I thought it got swatted away pretty hard on the foul.

No, it wasn't swatted...he just didnt go up with the intensity he needs to show and put these punks away!

 

[mnsports255]

+1

What is wrong with Dre and Williams?

Thank you!
Well, I wouldn't worry about Andre's offensive struggles. But the turnovers show that this is a consistently common problem for Andre.

I can't be mad at Andre because he's almost always pushing our team to our wins, and helping the team so much.

Rodney? He disappears completely and when doesn't have open space gets shut down. He needs to be able to seperate. I like him, just needs to be more of a presence in big games.

 

[samloupete]

Thus is the worst shooting Gopher team in many many years and is the reason they will not be a factor in the big ten race.

 

[mnsports255]

Free throw shooting and turnovers are going to be our ticket to success from here on out. (talking season)
*Well no, duh right!
