***OFFICIAL PURDUE AT MINNESOTA AFTERNOON IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[UpAndUnder43]

Gophers pretty locked in defensively through 9 minutes. Robbins ready to ball today. Weak side rebounding is there. Contesting everything.

When this team makes a couple shots early they seem so different.

 

[bc2211]

Ihnen is an active rebounder especially on the offensive end.

I like when he gets involved guarding the ball. Seems to keep him engaged.

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

Glad to see the low amount of fouls called, though im probably jinxing that right now.

 

[SixBySix]

Ihnen is an active rebounder especially on the offensive end.

His arms are just so dang long, it seems like he doesn't even have to be in a good position to make a play on the ball.

Liked the help defense too

 

[GringaGopher]

309th in 3 point shooting=brutal.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Curry gonna struggle with Williams but we lack other options. Freeman has the body for it. May be worth a try.

 

[Tully55]

Ihnen needs to work a lot on 3 point shots......2 for last 27.......or just not take it during a game for a while

I'm dying over here about the "Better players in the MIAC than Mashburn" comment that was posted on this board.

Maybe Devan George when he was at Augsburg. Thats about it.

 

[WriterGoph]

I'm really liking this team a lot more since Mashburn and Tre started getting a lot more significant minutes. They are young and developing, but they are definitely not scared. Both can/will be very solid starters once they have more minutes under their belts

 

[LesBolstad]

Is Curry really our best option as #5 backup? C'mon- wake up. Play like senior not a freshman.

At least try to drive once in a while. It's like a turnover when he shoots a 3 at this point.

A) Which dullard said that?

 

[GoodasGold]

Don’t do that again Ihnen!

Curry seems to be a little slow today. I would also like to see what Freeman could do.

 

[Tully55]

Williams(PU) with 10 points..... next highest 3

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Mashburn has to let Williams go. He isn’t going to block him or alter the shot.

 

[Tully55]

Robbins shoots 3s better than bunnies

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Great cut by Johnson.

 

[stocker08]

So nice to see a Gophers big get up and dunk the ball when they have it under the rim like that.

 

[GringaGopher]

Nice standing and looking D on that pass to Williams.

 

[jblass]

It would help if Robbins could make those two footers.

 

[WriterGoph]

A) Which dullard said that?

I'll have to go back and look, but it was in the Roster post where EG9 said that "it would be extremely hard to find a Big 10 team with less talent in its freshmen and sophomore classes than the Gophers"

 

[stocker08]

WTF? Carr was just pushed over, wasn't he?

 

[tmvander]

Carr is starting to play like an idiot

 

[Tully55]

PU on a 15-6run

 

[BarnBurner]

Marcus hero ball.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

This just isn’t a game Curry can play in. He has no one to guard.

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

Guys all just lookin for their shot now. No passing going on.
