***OFFICIAL NORTH DAKOTA STATE AT MINNESOTA EXIHIBITION IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

JCJ's shot looks a little flat

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Stagnant and a little rough, but at least they are moving without the ball.

12 years of TSA. Troop stand around.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

GG sighting

 

[Bad Gopher]

I was told there would be flying cars...and better free throwing.

Gophers getting after it on D and rebounding soundly. Shooting isn't very good so far, but they're getting good looks, so there's hope.

 

[FinnGopher]

Much better spacing and movement on offense. Better shot selection in the 2nd half.

 

[Day1Fan]

Bitter sweet seeing Parker Fox in a suit court side and not wearing maroon and gold.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Nice to see someone that consistently knock down outside shots in Tyson. And Durkin has been a bit off tonight but I think he'll be right there with Tyson.

 

[AO54]

Ok Cade Tyson!

 

[Bad Gopher]

Niko displeased with the defensive indifference. Love his fire!

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Bitter sweet seeing Parker Fox in a suit court side and not wearing maroon and gold.

Meh

 

[howeda7]

The FT shooting is still rough. Please work in it before the Holidays.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Bitter sweet seeing Parker Fox in a suit court side and not wearing maroon and gold.

Yep. Took more than he gave. D2 was his max.

 

[howeda7]

Up 25 at the under 4. Good enough. Pull starters.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Like that Vaihola has a nose for the ball, great energy, 13 boards.

 

[Gopher Ally]

Vaihola like Murphy out there!

 

[Bad Gopher]

Like that Vaihola has a nose for the ball, great energy, 13 boards.

Dude is a glass cleaner! But can't make a free throw to save his life.

The new Frank the Tank?

Glad that era done

Willis: B. Seems like he can score more if he wants to but wasn't pushing it.

Asuma: A-

Durkin: B

JCJ: B The 3's didn't work but everything else was solid

Vaihola: A Rebounding machine

Bench:

Tyson A obviously

Reynolds: D. A lot of missed shots, FT's.

Grove: B

Omot: C. Didn't play as much as I expected.

Turner: Did he even play?

Shinholster: Only played in garbage time. Redshirt?

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Turner: Did even play?

Went in with Shinholster, dropped 2 passes

 

[SplitDecision]

Exactly what I was hoping/expecting—a 25/30 pt win with solid defense, good shot selection. Am happy at this point. Will need rim protection as Big Ten season moves in.

 

[howeda7]

 

[studentgopher94]

Yes it's exhibition but still nice to win big against a solid mid-major. Feel like these have been nailbiting victories for too long. Hope they can keep it up when the games count.

I loved what I saw tonight. Everything was done with pace and proactively. Lots of solid players, probably no great ones but this could be a solid team. We are smallish but still did a really good job on the boards. Nice group of guards and Asuma really fits with Medved. This is going to be fun!

 

[jovs]

Brick by Brick.

Vaihola and Reynolds are brick layers. They don't even look good shooting, hopefully they get better.

 

[jovs]

Keep the transfer portal between the Tar Heels and the Gophers open, first Garcia and now Tyson. Tyson's not the creator that Garcia was but Tyson is a better shooter. He should be fun to watch.

 

[tikited]

Good game tonight. Just felt different in the Barn tonight. I think it had something to do with a competent staff.

Was at game. What did you see from Grove that you liked? I want him to do well but not seeing it yet.

 

[bga1]

Vaihola and Reynolds are brick layers. They don't even look good shooting, hopefully they get better.

I like both of them. Reynolds adds needed athleticism and Vaihola is a beast on the boards who seems to know here he is supposed to be at all times. There are plenty of other good shooters in Tyson, Durkin, Asuma. We'll see on Willis as he took few outside shots.
