Much better defense, even though the offensive rebounds are killing us.

It’s kinda like the Missouri game. Except we’re Missouri (so far).

 

[JZABR]

Good plays Durkin!

 

[howeda7]

And just like that he’s in the game.

No points, but holding his own.

 

[GopherNuts]

A great stretch of defense in the last 5-6 minutes, just gotta get on the glass. Some good minutes out of Reynolds, offense getting into more of a flow.

 

[leib0039]

Durkin being relevant is nice to see

 

[stocker08]

We're scoring points! Hell yeah!

 

[howeda7]

Offense functioning better with Reynolds but they need Willis to guard the PG.

 

[BarnBurner]

The rebounding is nearly non existent.

 

[Married@SiebertField]

Astonishing Stanford lane violations—we counted nine seconds on #5.

 

[bga1]

Doing ok but they really miss Vaihola on the boards. Stanford killing us on the offensive boards.

Seems odd/incongruous watching our boys, coming out of commercial, and hearing the CBS hoops tournament music playing. Reminder of just how long it’s been.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Boards and please follow your shots

 

[stocker08]

Grove is softer than room temp butter. I haven't seen him fight for a single rebound.

lol....I was thinking the same thing.

 

[FinnGopher]

Our boys seem to struggle against zone defenses.

 

[howeda7]

Hack a Reynolds is a good strategy I'm afraid.

Crocker- Johnson needs to stop shooting 3s. His two makes were a bank, and one that bounced 3 times before dropping. It looks awful.

 

[howeda7]

Might have to play Turner to stop the bleeding on the glass.

Can’t rebound. Can’t shoot. Turns the ball over. And can’t even lay a screen.

Shoots flat footed and doesn't follow his shot

JCJ belongs in the paint not on the perimeter. He's tough down there. Post him up.

Bad in the beginning and end of the half. Good in the middle. Still better than I thought it would be after the first few minutes. The game for the Gophers seemed to change when Willis went to the bench and Reynolds came in.

The defense has been pretty good for the Gophers but they're getting killed on the boards, especially offensive, and Stanford has had a lot more shots and free throws.

 

[howeda7]

Is Willis injured?

Is Willis injured?

Yes.

 

[howeda7]

Yes.

That's not good....

 

[DietCokeFan]

That's not good....

Came up limping in first half and now appears to be in a walking boot

 

[DietCokeFan]

CJ only cares about his stats.
