***OFFICIAL MISSISSIPPI ST AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[howeda7]

Repeat Who has the greater upside the men's or women's bb team?

For this year? The women and it's not close. They already have one B1G win.

 

[GopherBlood777]

At least Garcia showed up to play tonight

 

[MennoSota]

How many years can "Rock Bottom" last?

Hey, So St Paul was the worst High School team in Minnesota from 2010-2019 so get ready for the long run. Also, look how long it took for the Cubbies. Are you a transplant to Minnesota? It seems you have not learned the art of long term perseverance.

You must have given the pregame speech

We don’t have to win for 2 years. Liberating!

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Moments....

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Ben has magically been in and around bad basketball teams post high school. Weird.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Single digits baby

 

[Norwood👅]

Cooper acting like he’s hurt after bricking badly

 

[Norwood👅]

Extend Joshua

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Cooper acting like he’s hurt after bricking badly

He's the only reason it's this close

 

[big10guy]

I am very encouraged by the play of Ola Joseph and Payne, they are aggressive and don't back down from anyone. That's important, since our other bigs (Garcia, Battle, Thompson) don't seem to like inside play. I'm really hoping Fox can bang inside when healthy next year.

 

[Bad Gopher]

I believe we only get Northwestern and Nebraska once each.

D'oh!

 

[GopherBlood777]

Single digits baby

Jinxed it, my bad

 

[howeda7]

4 shot clock violations now

 

[Johnnyboy18]

51% shooting 8/8 should be illegal

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

That possession epitomizes our offense rather well.

 

[cjbfbp]

Has Samuels ever heard of a step back? He's not Marcus Carr but he could try it.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Diffident Ben post game coming. Well, we gotta work some things out……. I’m out.

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

I love the Payne pass the ball around his back and then attempt the worst free throws imaginable.

 

[GoodasGold]

Garcia tiene Manos de piedra.

 

[GophersInIowa]

How does the basket count there? And how does Johnson say nothing?

The guy took two steps after contact.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

I know it won't show up on a box score, but the team is playing way harder and smarter tonight. It's not necessarily good basketball, but they are cutting and moving around a bit.

Samuels game is passing up opens shots so he can slowly dribble into a much worse shot.

 

[GopherBlood777]

It is a unique routine no doubt

Ridiculous

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Show some spine, Ben. Can’t imagine how the players feel when he shows no emotion and refuses to defend them. Whether it was a bad call or not is debatable, but Ben needs to develop that part of his game as a coach and fast.

Yeah that was one of the more obvious on the floor fouls very confusing

 

[kg21]

The thing with Payne is can he develop a game outside of 2 feet? He's probably not going to get much stronger. He's physically mature. Can he develop anything other than the dunk or lay-in?

I think the foul was on JOJ swiping after Garcia fell down.

Harder definitely, smarter is debatable
