***OFFICIAL MISSOURI AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[GopherOhana]

i'll try this again now that PP has played. looks like we have all 13 scholarship players available for this match.

i think the last time that happened was in 2013-2014. Its been a while

 

[Ewert86PC]

One "50%" is sufficient.

That's really six of one half a dozen of the other.

 

[stocker08]

Betting the over was definitely the play here...

I almost bet under and then didn't. Bet Gophers ML regardless.

 

[nitramnaed]

Mitchell breaks the drought

 

[BTChamp]

Christie. Nice D

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Ihnen is starting to look like Robert Horry

 

[howeda7]

Better defense the last 4 minutes. Probably can't win 100-98.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Noticable difference when Hawkins is on the court.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Noticable difference when Hawkins is on the court.

He’s fun to watch

 

[MNVCGUY]

No clue how the season will turn out but this team is fun to watch. So much better than last year.

 

[leib0039]

Without a doubt my favorite thing this far in the season has been having a variety of options. Yes we had a myriad of injuries last few years but felt like CBJ only had one option. Now we look like there are multiple things we could do to win a game.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Noticable difference when Hawkins is on the court.

Pace is much faster

 

[Hoopsmom]

I do like how the players are moving without the ball, getting open. It’s better than what we saw last year.

 

[stocker08]

Noticable difference when Hawkins is on the court.

We haven't had a ball handler like him in a while. He's so quick. Beats his man and forces another defender to bail on their player. And then Hawkins is able to feed the ball to the open guy. Cool development.

 

[howeda7]

Christie has to call timeout there instead of heaving it.

 

[Gold Vision]

Christie with some really questionable decisions so far. Way too loose.

Almost like.....having multiple players out last year was bad....?

 

[nitramnaed]

I’ll be pretty happy if we’re up by 10 at halftime

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Provus sucking up to Marcus Fuller.....

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Ewwww.....Hawkins......what was that?

 

[WriterGoph]

Christie has played great D though

 

[leib0039]

Yes that's obvious, but I think it's also fair acknowledge the coach didn't do much to help the situation.

 

[howeda7]

Lot of dumb turnovers now.

 

[bc2211]

My god they extend their arms against the defender the moment they step into the lane. Just once can the refs call it.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

good timeout

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Mizzu making some tough shots

 

[GophersInIowa]

Relying too much on the outside shot. It’s fine when you’re making them but it’s time to get it down low.

 

[MUgopher32]

Halfcourt O has to be a little smoother

Try and pound the paint a little.

 

[stocker08]

I'm not arguing that. But seeing the contributions of Ihnen and Fox so far......you can't say that it's tough for a coach with a young team to be missing BOTH of these guys for two years. Basketball rosters are not large. Depth has been a huge issue. Agree?

Lot of new faces, going to take some time to gel. Lot of potential though.
