***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS NORTHWESTERN BIG TEN TOURNAMENT WEAKLING WEDNESDAY IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Urbandale]

Northwestern dances better than we do.

 

[Outsider]

Martice Mitchell sighting on the IMG pregame show. Only the second time I’ve either seen or heard his name mentioned all year. Says he’s working on his handle, must be for the next stop.

 

[Urbandale]

This will be 12-11 at halftime.

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

0-2 on threes, looks like we're right on our game!

 

[GringaGopher]

We start with a brick 3 n missed FT's....

 

[Urbandale]

The fans are getting their money's worth.

 

[Urbandale]

I have to leave from 6:00-6:30. There's a chance I might not miss a basket.

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

I wasn't expecting a lot, but this is a gross start, to be sure.

 

[Urbandale]

Assistant coaches for both teams are actively checking Linkedin during the game.

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

Both teams brought ice to the game

 

[Urbandale]

Minnesota pitching a shutout. Pitino suddenly a defensive genius?

 

[GophersInIowa]

I’m calling it, we’re gonna do an 83 NC St.

 

[Tully55]

Game so far reminds me of playing in the state DeMolay tourney back in 1971.......not the most efficient or talented by either team.

 

[Urbandale]

I’m calling it, we’re gonna do an 83 NC St.

Yes! Sam Freeman doing a spot-on Lorenzo Charles impression at the buzzer to win it.

 

[LesBolstad]

We're 5-2 when Gach steps out on the sideline, so that's a good sign!

 

[Urbandale]

Once again, why has Curry been playing instead of Freeman this season?

 

[Urbandale]

Chris Collins' mask is going to be down by his nipples if it hangs any lower.

 

[Urbandale]

Attacking a zone and you know what that means...a contested 3 from 28 feet with the shot clock running out!

 

[Bad Gopher]

Northwestern looks...what's worse than being hung over?

 

[jblass]

I don’t get the substitutions. Why take Williams out? Seems like he is one of our better scoring possibilities.

 

[GopherGangsta]

Northwestern looks...what's worse than being hung over?

Unfortunately that means we have to suffer thru another game with Pitino

 

[Bad Gopher]

Unfortunately that means we have to suffer thru another game with Pitino

I mean, I've seen some bad teams, but...what even is this?

 

[Some guy]

Did he just say mashburn has been “dominating over the last month of the season”


lol what

 

[Urbandale]

Gophers 1-7 from the arc. Byron Buxton laughs at that average.

 

[Bad Gopher]

On pace to win 45-10

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

Did he just say mashburn has been “dominating over the last month of the season”


lol what

Ya and he said Freeman has gotten meaningful minutes

 

[mplarson7]

I seem to recall last time against Northwestern we started the game up 17-3, so looks like Northwestern has us just where they want us.

 

[Tully55]

8+ minutes in..total FG shooting both teams combined....5-24

 

[Urbandale]

If Northwestern had all five players squished together in the lane like it was a closet in a tornado drill and just let us shoot from 12 feet on out, would we even get to 40 percent?

 

[Some guy]

8+ minutes in..total FG shooting both teams combined....5-24

So just barely under the average
