***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS NORTHWESTERN BTT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Stan]

Despite a disappointing Big Ten season, we now control our own destiny. 5 wins in 5 days and we're in. Follow that up with 6 wins in three weeks in the Tournament and we're cutting down the nets.

But to get the 11 straight wins, we have to get the first one and that starts today.

A loss and we say goodbye to the seniors, likely Oturu and possibly Pitino.

Let's ride this as long as we can.

GET 'ER DONE PITINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

I like this setup. Beat Northwestern and beat Iowa. Then see what happens. Crush Northwestern and get some rest for the Big 2.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

are we winning?

&*TY**%^*^* the Gophers are playing in Indy tonite...and i am working till 10pm. Wow, good planning on my part, since in live 10 minutes from Bankers Life, and have free (work) parking right next door. Well Good luck tonite Minny i will be watching on the computer at work.

Play smart. Score early, score often. Ratch up the defense. Play from start to finish like you want it. Don’t leave anything on the floor. One at a time will do it. Go Gophers!

 

[GopherBlood777]

are we winning?

Game is at 5PM CST on BTN

Despite a disappointing Big Ten season, we now control our own destiny. 5 wins in 5 days and we're in.

hahahahahahahaha

 

[MplsGopher]

Don't worry, our player's mothers could beat NW and Nebraska this year.

 

[RogueGopher]

I don't want this ride to end. I'm going to enjoy every single second remaining of Daniel Oturu in a Minnesota uniform. SKI-U-MAH

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Go Gophers!!!

 

[GopherVotary]

Weakling Wednesday!!!!

 

[GopherOhana]

I don't want this ride to end.

this season is kinda like the time my wife flipped our explorer. Fine most of the ride, scary at times, and we walked away only bruised a bit

hoping the gophers make the front ends of one and ones

 

[stocker08]

We're only favored by 5.5 points. I hammered that line.

 

[GringaGopher]

Brick laying early and Demir starting again which makes no sense to me.

 

[RogueGopher]

The rims are way too tight. Just watch how much the ball is bouncing. Not normal

 

[cjbfbp]

So far pretty much what I expected: a dreadful game featuring two bad teams.

 

[GopherVotary]

Hard to see why these two teams haven’t won more games.

 

[bc2211]

Thinking the same thing.

 

[GopherGerty]

Wish I had the stats. Do we travel more than most other teams? Sure seems like it.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Cats are playing solid defense.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Announcement?

 

[RogueGopher]

Announcement?

No fans at the BTT starting tomorrow.

Also applies to all other winter and spring sports in the Big Ten.

 

[Bad Gopher]

Dang

 

[SixBySix]

Rotation so far looks like Pitino is banking on making a deep run.

 

[Gopherfan1000]

One and done. Pack it in fellas. These boys don't want to play for Richard anymore. Looking terrible today. Cannot shoot.

ok dimwit

 

[RogueGopher]

Not even remotley worried right now. Love our chances. 2nd half adjustments.

 

[Gopherfan1000]

ok dimwit

I won't apologize. I am tired of this season. Tired of the whole team besides Oturu. Honestly, couldn't be a more pathetic start to this half shooting 28% turning the ball over. Same old Gophers. Gabe is like 1-8, lol.

 

[Gopherfan1000]

We'd be 7-24 like Nebraska without Oturu.

 

[Jaykay]

Good lord Gabe
