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

[DietCokeFan]

At least we don’t have to suffer through the badgers beating us again.

The fat lady is waiting in the lobby and ready to sing.
If Ben Johnson is brought back as coach, then I want to move to an alternate universe.

Get ready to buy a rocket ship.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Please bring in some NIL money so we can get some skilled players here. Talent gap is huge.

 

[Gilthorp57]

It is not possible to have Odukale, Frank Mitchell and Edmunds on the floor at the same time. Three 50% free throw shooters. Edmunds, who I would love to see play some, is the odd man out. It probably should have been Fox, another 50% FT shooter.

Instead of putting Fox in on that possession....

we match up better with them than we do with Northwestern (sarcasm font)

Timberwolves and Nuggets at 9 PM tonight.

 

[USAF]

Talent gap is huge.

We're playing NW, FFS.

In another 12 vs 13 game, #12 Vanderbilt is getting run by #13 Texas 49-33 with 14 minutes left.

 

[Minnesconsin fan]

We would definitely be winning this game, but NWU clearly has an unfair advantage in NIL. Poor Ben.

the Julia Louis-Dreyfus effect

 

[golfing18now]

Did Mitchell do the ice water thing on that one?

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Hey Seth Davis!!!! If you’re on here, just wondering if Ben is still “elite”???

 

[formerlybis]

We're playing NW, FFS.

Collins is a wizard. Losing Barnhizer and Leach's 31 points is the equivalent of the Gophers losing Garcia and Patterson. Can you imagine THAT team?

 

[FinnGopher]

Martinelli looking like Larry Bird against us. Can't guard him.

 

[USAF]

Martinelli is twice the player Garcia is.

 

[Gilthorp57]

See next year..

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Exceeded expectations.

 

[LesBolstad]

Do we extend BJ right after game in IN or wait until they fly back?

 

[GopherGold01]

Eleet

 

[FinnGopher]

Dribble, dribble, dribble, miss. Repeat

 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Martinelli is twice the player Garcia is.

No…..Collins is twice the coach that CBJ is.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

I think Patterson was just trying to get out of the lineup.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Dribble, dribble, dribble, miss. Repeat

No screens, no nothing

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Johnson needs to get the Lane Kiffin treatment and get axed on the tarmac in Indy.

 

[Outsider]

Even the announcers are schilling for Ben. FFS just fire the guy!

 

[USAF]

Any of the Johnson bobos wanna revisit their ridicule of anyone calling for Johnson's head last January?

 

[DanvilleGopher]

I haven’t seen the gophers run that offense in 12 years

What offense? Whatever they're running is most definitely offensive to the offensive minded..

 

[scools12]

Scrappy effort by Ben Johnson’s squad today.

Considering all that is coming back hopefully Johnson can use this loss as a teachable moment going into the offseason.

 

[Ewert86PC]

It's over, but is it over over?

 

[atsgopher]

If we started this urgency 3 mins earlier we’d be in the game.

 

[FinnGopher]

Turn out the lights.
