***OFFICIAL PURDUE FORT WAYNE AT MINNESOTA BATTLE OF UNBEATEN TEAMS IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[fan of Ray Williams]

Hopefully they figure out a way to put the clamps on Pipkins and get Battle heated up. Few less turnovers too would be great.

stephens did have 18 against wstrn kentucky didn't he? gotta have some punch off the bench too, but hard not to start him if he keeps killin it like this

Agreed that it's a good thing to have a spark coming off the bench but I think Sutherlin should play more minutes than Stephens.

 

[howeda7]

Terrible start. Good rally. This applies to both the Gophers and BTN+.

 

[howeda7]

Also Curry had the worst half of anyone. Woof.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

15 points off the bench for the Gophers
Sutherlin 11
Thiam 2
Daniels 2
Not a bench point for the hated Mastodons

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Thorson says their pressure bothered the Gophers and they got too many points in the paint
Says they started to contain and fan out defensively with about 8 minutes left in the half

 

[howeda7]

9-0 PFW 17:37 1st

Mastadons tend to start out strong but fade as things evolve.

Battle!!

Mastadons tend to start out strong but fade as things evolve.

And Gophers just keep digging holes

39-28!!

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

We are too good! The Golden Gophers are ALL ELITE!!!!

 

[howeda7]

The Barn is rocking...or as rocking as it gets these days anyway.

for sure, no reason he can't off the bench, that's how you win 6th man of the year!

Who are the announcers on BT+. They are doing a good job IMO.

 

[RogueGopher]

Exactly what I was concerned about. Trying to stop a hit shooting team. And appears to be athletic as well. Got their work cut out. Curry dribbling is scary

I'm so scared right now

I loved it when they called Jamison Battle.....Taylor Battle.

Spencer just did it on the radio also

can't tell if this is a joke, it's the radio broadcast in case it's not lol spencer and tanner hoops

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

outscored them 11-4 this half

 

[howeda7]

Curry and Loewe should not be trying to take anyone off the dribble. Oy.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

only 2 free throws by Ft Wayne

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

I'm so scared right now

Get a start like that in most BIG contests or other P5 team and it’s Good Night Irene time. Party is over.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Stephens with 3 fouls, no one else with more than 1

 

[stocker08]

Hofstra just took the lead on Maryland with less than three remaining.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

I doubt ipfw sees the lead again

Looks like a good call

 

[Spottedmuskie]

I loved it when they called Jamison Battle.....Taylor Battle.

Is that the Battle that played with Jordan Taylor at Benilde?

 

[howeda7]

Did Spencer really just say the crowd is 1,400? Woof.

 

[stocker08]

Hofstra up 67-63 on Maryland with about 1:20 left on the clock.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Freaking Sutherlin is a non conference badass
