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

[USAF]

I just got kicked out of the Peacock app!

Consider it a favor.

Maybe they were doing you a favor.

 

[bga1]

Awful defense. NW getting layups.

 

[DietCokeFan]

God how does Martenelli make half of these shots. Literally just throws it up and goes in.

 

[gwbbfan82]

Consider it a favor.

Jinx

 

[bga1]

If I have my math right, in the last 10 games, MM is:
17-67 from the field
12-48 from three

This includes back to back games (PSU, UCLA) where he went:
9-25 field
6-19 from three, and that signifies the 2 games he was “hot”

Unreal how bad he has been.

 

[stocker08]

FFS these refs keep awarding flops.

 

[FinnGopher]

Dribble the damn ball some more boyz! That ball gonna be flat at halftime. Uggh!

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

I hope Coyle is watching this…..garbage game plan, garbage execution, garbage adjustments and GARBAGE EFFORT.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Can't touch "Larry Bird" aka Martinelli. Automatic foul. Meanwhile Dawson gets hacked everytime, no call.

 

[USAF]

FFS these refs keep awarding flops.

Hahaha.
Wouldn't be a game thread without stocker whining about the refs.

It's AMAZING!! Every single game the refs are out to get us!!

 

[FinnGopher]

Rigsby having a clanker day.

 

[Gilthorp57]

I hope Coyle is watching this…..garbage game plan, garbage execution, garbage adjustments and GARBAGE EFFORT.

With NW missing two top players at that...

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Fox hasn't played so badly in this game but that missed layup at the end of the half was kind of microcosm of his struggles this season.

3 point deficit at half. Better than usual these days.

 

[Gopher Ally]

Cmon Fox!! You gotta finish that!

 

[bga1]

The fall off this year with M Mitchell and Parker Fox has been something. Parker has failed to finish so often on drives he would have converted in the past. Just right there another. He just has less lift it seems. I will say this for him, his FT shooting form has improved.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Parker Fox has all kinds of athletic ability. Unfortunately, that doesn't always translate to basketball ability.

 

[GopherGuy82]

With NW missing two top players at that...

I'm sure there is a punchline there about how the Gophers have been missing two top players, that another coach would have gotten, for the last four years.

 

[GoodasGold]

Fox you prick!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Let’s extend Foxs and Garcias careers for another day, guys. Maybe get some stops and buckets.

 

[GoodasGold]

Parker Fox has all kinds of athletic ability. Unfortunately, that doesn't always translate to basketball ability.

He can leap, like Rodney Weems. Kinda one-dimensional.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Parker Fox has all kinds of athletic ability. Unfortunately, that doesn't always translate to basketball ability.

I think his athletic ability clearly has been diminished this season and he probably has some pain. He was asked late last season if he was coming back and he said he didn't know if his knees could take it.

 

[USAF]

Only 22 shots taken by the Gophers in 20 minutes.

Kick ass offense, Ben.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Just another way to twist the knife for weakling Wednesday teams.

I actually like Peacock. You never have to wait for a previous game to finish and they keep the games on there for some time so you can watch the replays. The channel also has other entertainment features besides sports.

 

[GringaGopher]

Unreal how bad he has been.

Mitchell= …..

 

[stocker08]

No worries. Mitchell will shoot out of his slump in the second half of this game I'm sure.

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

i’m sure glad Mike Mitchell started the second half after not taking a shot in the first half as the starting SHOOTING GUARD

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

I'd like to see a 15-0 run from Minnesota.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Nice defensive play, Femi!

 

[DietCokeFan]

Fox has got to get off the floor.
