***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS MICHIGAN STATE BTT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Spaulding!No!]

And Holloman taunting the crowd: "this is my town."

He will not be coming back to maroon and gold. It’s over

 

[Homerpalooza]

Are they just mauling Gophers under the basket w/o fouls or are we just not able to do it?

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Payne isn’t strong enough with the ball

 

[MUgopher32]

Paynes bball IQ is -500.

Dawson not much higher

Just brutal by those two right now

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Ok, fire everyone.

 

[007gopherfan]

Michigan State is just showing more hussle and will.

 

[VanillaThunder]

Legs are gone. Playing 7 will do that.

 

[bc2211]

Soft

 

[Frink]

How many times have our bigs been stripped of the ball in the paint today?

 

[Spaulding!No!]

UM.. So I am horny. Thank. Kindly!!!!!

Yeah, that is some name

 

[stocker08]

Garcia is not playing very well. Need more from him.

 

[leib0039]

Well...I guess time to worry about this supposed top 25 team next year.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Ok, fire everyone.

Darnold

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Soft

A little too soft but mostly just too thin (depth).

 

[Duker]

Payne has been stripped at least 5 times in the paint today, he needs to be stronger with his hands or kick it back out for shooters

 

[Tully55]

MSU on a 15-2 run

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Legs are gone. Playing 7 will do that.

He also could spot play Wilson and Ramberg/Betts and a few minutes here and there - you just can’t play them at the same time.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Yuck!

Probably safe to say that someone who calls himself the Rochester Racist is going for shock value.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I gotta start toss em up now.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Make FTs

 

[007gopherfan]

Mich State one step faster than us on D and on Offense moving the ball.

 

[Homerpalooza]

Refs gonna pay back 6 fouls for the questionable goal tending call.

 

[SHGopher]

Garcia 4 fouls.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

And Holloman taunting the crowd: "this is my town."

Dude is mid AF and he's chirping like he's LeBron?

 

[Rex]

Garcia, Fox, & Payne could all foul out and CBJ would still be too stubborn to put JOJ in. Put him in for a bit, see what he's got.

 

[saintpauljeff]

Finally checking in, wow, the Gophers are actually in this game? Figured they’d be getting blown out by 20 against Izzo in a tourney

 

[Gophers7633]

Defense just not good enough down the stretch here. Way to many layups. Reverting back to the last month of the season in the 2nd half.

 

[007gopherfan]

Taking Mitchell out takes one less player out for the bigs to kick it too. Plus he is best bet to get a steal yet he still on bench. CBJ just doesn't know how to get it done in these tough games in the 2nd half and down the stretch. Pretty much just relying on Garcia to score it all. We are tired and two steps behind them.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Finally checking in, wow, the Gophers are actually in this game? Figured they’d be getting blown out by 20 against Izzo in a tourney

We could be ahead, as we missed two and had several bad TOs in the paint; the effort has been good.
