***OFFICIAL NORTH TEXAS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Tucker32]

I’ve wanted Ben to be successful. However, they can’t coach offense, they are so easy to guard. Just stand around. No movement off the ball, no purpose with the ball = nothing. You could guard them with four guys playing a box and none.

 

[rowdaboat]

1 basket in 16 minutes with almost all seniors, why even bother fielding a team

 

[MUgopher32]

1/15 in 16 minutes should be impossible

 

[Spaulding!No!]

‘We gotta get guys who were all born under the sign of Pisces!’

 

[Rex]

at 3:57 (1st half), Gophers shooting 1-15 (6.7%)...let's see if we can get over 10% by the halftime

 

[GopherBlood777]

Patterson and rigsby have been very disappointing this game. Need them to step up now or game over.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

The only thing worse then this game is these announcers commenting on it

 

[Dsigma42]

CBJ! Patterson nor Femi are point guards. Moving forward, Assuma and Mitchell (when he returns) should be the main PGs. This is brutal!

 

[drewhaus7]

That was the ugliest half of basketball, but still in the game.

 

[atsgopher]

No movement without the ball. The Gopher started out drawing fouls.

The passing is pathetic. telegraphed garbage.

 

[MUgopher32]

North Texas with a horrific offensive half and they are up 9

They had 10 chances up 11 through out the half to extend the lead and either missed a open 3 or panic drove for a wild lay up every time to keep the game close

Unbelievable first half

 

[Rex]

From ESPN Bet, over/under was 129.5

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

.7 a minute? is that correct?

 

[SomeGopherFan]

The first half was..........not good.

 

[Sane24]

The Gopher hockey team could outscore the basketball team 10-9!

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

The Gophers can't play any worse offensively than they played in that first half but credit NTSU for playing well defensively. Gophers haven't played too badly on the defensive end either.

Question: Does Odukele have any value on the offensive end?

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

You know, I think it was the worst half of CBB that I've seen in my life. And I'm pretty old!

No

 

[LesBolstad]

Ben, we know you worked hard but it just didn't work out. We're going a different direction so you can take off at halftime.

-Coyle after that first half

 

[Sane24]

For the second half, send in the Debate Team to negotiate an unconditional surrender!

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

3 of 21 on field goals in the first half. Hard to beat that for futility. We are 7-11 on free throws which probably is above our average.

Not sure Patterson has enough quickness. Might be tough in conference.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Patterson and rigsby have been very disappointing this game. Need them to step up now or game over.

In fairness, Asuma hasn't been very good either. 0-4 with two turnovers.

 

[FinnGopher]

Dick Bennett called. He said "We've got em just where we want em."

 

[Sane24]

Odekale did well his first four years when he was well coached!

 

[Allshade]

Is there any further doubt that CBJ is clueless?

 

[Gilthorp57]

Not sure Patterson has enough quickness. Might be tough in conference.

He's carrying too much weight. Was he trying to bulk up for B10 competition?

 

[DietCokeFan]

I don’t get why Coyle doesn’t want a good men’s program. A good High School coached team could out coach Ben.

 

[atsgopher]

So were back?
