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

[JZABR]

Yes, that’s what all the cool kids are saying

AND me

 

[MNVCGUY]

Nice half. Nice to see the team playing much better together during this recent stretch.

Nice half. Nice to see the team playing much better together during this recent stretch.

Really helps to be shooting close to 60%.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

17 made baskets on 13 assists, that’s good/winning basketball

 

[RogueGopher]

Had a 6 minute stretch only scoring 2 points and yet still got to 44 points in that half. Incredible

 

[GopherBlood777]

Continue to play tough defense and we win. The hot seat got the team fired up apparently. Garcia has seemed to turn a corner for sure.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

I'm sorry we lost the big lead but this is my first time watching Oregon and they clearly are a better team than Iowa. They have very good athletes for the most part and are good shooters too.

I like that we're dominating the boards and making them work. Keep the defense intense and the pace slower. I think we're probably better at that type of game than they are.

yeah crazy how that works in basketball....when the shots are falling even mediocre teams can look good......who'd a thunk it?.....

 

[Blackhammer]

This pace we lose by ten. Got to win with defense.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Nuggets getting crushed right now too, we might actually have a great basketball Saturday.

Need to start the second half well. If we can keep Oregon from going on a big run early and pulling away some there is a good chance that USAF will lose money again which will make it a good day.

Sigh.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Nugenix! Who else was at the dome for the Big Hurts 500th HR?

 

[howeda7]

The offense is just awful the last few possessions.

 

[Ewert86PC]

The offense is just awful the last few possessions.

So we adjusted out of our first half offense during halftime?

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

Clean it up, Mitchell

Team stayed in the locker room

 

[Blackhammer]

Be nice to have quality guards.

More like they did and we can't counter.

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

These refs are going to benefit the Ducks on every call

 

[stocker08]

Why foul there?

 

[Blackhammer]

Parker Fox really having a nice game.

 

[howeda7]

These refs are going to benefit the Ducks on every call

Those shiny new Nike's weren't free.

 

[stocker08]

Ball movement these past few games has looked nothing like the stagnant garbage we were seeing earlier in the year.

 

[MNVCGUY]

Feels like Garcia has finally figured out he has to carry the offense and can't be passive.

 

[Gilthorp57]

The biggest fear is getting worn down, didn't realize how deep the Ducks are, they don't lose anything when subbing either.

Use the timeouts strategically.

 

[Oneoldgopher]

I have watched basketball for over 5 decades. The first half against Oregon was very well coached and the team played with skill. Team depth is a major problem, maybe the only problem.

 

[howeda7]

Stop running plays for Frank Mitchell. Please.

 

[Blackhammer]

Running constant offense is just too difficult for this team.

 

[howeda7]

Too many shots by Frank Mitchell, Odukale and Fox. Not enough from Garcia and Mike Mitchell.
