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

[UpAndUnder43]

This might get ugly.

 

[tmvander]

Jesus call a timeout and get Mashburn back in there

 

[GringaGopher]

Curry on the air ball....

 

[Tully55]

Jack 3.....jack3.....jack 3..........2-11

 

[GoodasGold]

Krist!

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

They're posterizing alley oops and meanwhile Curry is jacking up 25 foot airballs.

 

[WriterGoph]

Big shot by Tre.

Need a strong final minute-plus here

 

[GoodasGold]

This is some Good church ball.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Williams with some positive plays.

 

[WriterGoph]

Is it me or do certain posters wait for a cold stretch (or the Gophers to be down) and ONLY THEN start posting in the game thread?

 

[Lou Hudson]

Stop dribbling!

 

[GoodasGold]

It’s nice to have athletes on your team.

It’s just you.

 

[Cayman]

It’s definitely a thing

 

[GringaGopher]

BS foul on Robbins .

 

[WriterGoph]

It’s just you.

It's definitely not. Now we're tied and certain posters will go away

 

[skyman31]

BS foul on Robbins .

Ball doesn’t lie

 

[Tully55]

Hack-a-Williams........50% FT shooter

 

[BarnBurner]

Wonder why no adjustments on d for Williams?

 

[WriterGoph]

It’s definitely a thing

To each their own, but just seems like a super sad existence to stare at a message board for a team you are (allegedly) a fan of, but only contribute when you have something negative to add

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

The good news and the bad news are the same: it's anyone's game.

 

[Tully55]

I didn't know the 3 seconds in the lane rule got changed to 5

 

[Spottedmuskie]

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

I'd like to see Freeman and Mitchell more. I couldn't see Mitchell being worse than Gach.

 

[GoodasGold]

It's definitely not. Now we're tied and certain posters will go away

Good effort by Gophs to get back in the game.

[Northeastgopher]

2 of 12 from three has to be the least surprising development ever.

 

[GoodasGold]

Imperative that Gophs come out strong in 2nd!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

2 of 12 from three has to be the least surprising development ever.

Think they take more or less than 12 in the second half?

 

[stocker08]

Hey....at halftime of the Gophers/Boilermakers game....we should talk to Jalen Suggs....the guy from Minnesota!

 

[Gopherbbdude]

About 90 seconds of bad basketball
