***OFFICIAL OHIO STATE AT MINNESOTA IN-BATTLE THREAD!!!***

[Breakin' The Plane]

Big sequence there.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

I'm nervous! It seems as if I've seen this Gopher game several times before

It's all the same game. They just Photoshop different jerseys on the opponents.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Yeeeeee Haaaah! Christie!

 

[saintpauljeff]

Not a fan of Garcia’s hairline. But if he keeps scoring… all you bro

 

[SHGopher]

Rolling again.

 

[STPGopher]

Yeeeeee Haaaah! Christie!

That's some authentic excitement! Love it!

Re: JOJ. When Garcia, Payne, and Fox play like this and stay out of foul trouble, there just isn’t anywhere for him to get in. He needs to adjust. He’ll get his time again as long as he sticks around.

 

[Tully55]

Fox and Payne FT total...8-10

Speaking of JOJ...where is he?

Fox and Payne FT total...8-10

Shhh.

Fox and Payne FT total...8-10

Payne's FT attempts look different tonight - looks like he's getting more arc on the shot with a higher release.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

That was a huge 3 by Christie

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Christie has had a few odd drives to the basket tonight.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Did they get rid of the flop call/warning? The Battle one was really bad and then another on the Payne dunk. Happy with the no call, but also wondering.

Tonight is the night where this team has shown me one thing... They are a NCAA team.... Or at least can play to that ability. Illinois will be a tough game... But if they play like this... Every minute for the rest of the season... They can play with ANYONE and will make some serious noise from here on out...

I can't believe I just said that... I'm impressed

 

[rivergopher]

It is amazing I remeber walking out of the barn two years ago when we played OSU thinking we will never be able to out muscle Ohio state. EJ Liddel had 23 and 15 and Zed Key was a monster with 12 and 8 2 blocks. Fast forward 2 years, through the first 35 minutes we are the much more physical team.

I have felt that way since early in the season but they seem to piss themselves when they are beating a good team

 

[howeda7]

Make FT's

 

[rivergopher]

Chatman's bodily language looks like a guy that does not want to be there.

Do we have another vote for keeping Ben Johnson around for another year?

 

[CPTMidnight]

I'm more mad that Battle sucked last year than I am that he is in a Buckeye's uniform.

 

[Gopher Ally]

Cruising to victory!

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Hawkins making Chatman look like a rook! Pro move there.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Come on now - hit those FT's. Don't let OSU get on a run.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Growing pains.

 

[howeda7]

 

[mnhoopboy]

From the eye test, we look like an NCAA tournament team. Might be too little too late but I'm excited for next season already.

 

[howeda7]

Hawkins. Make FT's. You're a PG for pete's sake.

 

[mnhoopboy]

He shouldn't see any time. Too many lapses on both ends of the court. Glad Fox had taken his minutes.

 

[leib0039]

Another complete game. The consistency since the Iowa game has been very refreshing.
