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

How is that not a goaltend?

It was blocked from behind.

 

[cjbfbp]

they need to do as much damage as they can while Omoruyi is out.

 

[BTChamp]

It was blocked from behind.

Yeah, I guess I just got too excited. It was clean.

 

[BTChamp]

D coming alive in periodic times.

 

[cjbfbp]

Second shot clock violation (we forced)!

 

[cjbfbp]

Perfect timing for Henley on that bad pass. Right after the announcer called him "a freshman with a bright future."

 

[stocker08]

Second shot clock violation (we forced)!

Henley got switched onto Omoruyi and did a very good job denying an opportunity to get the ball into him. Then he made a bad pass on the ensuing possession.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Gophers seem to care still which is nice to see.

The Barn appears empty. Anyone there?

 

[cjbfbp]

4 point play!

 

[BTChamp]

Thankfully he made the 3, because 3 free throws would have netted 1 point.

I joke.

I guess, no I don't.

Gophers seem to care still which is nice to see.

Definitely. They could use a little more strength, quickness, and shooting ability but the caring part clearly is there.

Which at this point in a season like this—is something positive.

 

[stocker08]

Press break for an alley oop! Finally!

 

[BTChamp]

Beautiful pass Garcia to Payne

 

[cjbfbp]

That was beautiful!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

I think they should shut him down at this point- no sense bim making his foot/ankle worse

Or not you nimrod

 

[BTChamp]

Justin Reiber with the free throw.

 

[Lion King]

Henley in to play defense late in the half !!!!
Really !

 

[cjbfbp]

Personally, I think Johnson should start Henley and Carrington in the 2nd half.

Pretty good first half for the team though! Rutgers is just a pretty bad matchup for us (worse than most teams).

Not a bad idea. Carrington with some offense.

 

[bga1]

We look totally different as steam when Payne is in and we feed him low versus when he is out or we fail to get him touches. It has looked much better at times. Biggest issue tonight is our guards getting blown by off the dribble. Playing hard tonight though!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Not a bad idea. Carrington with some offense.

You mean he might be a D1 player l?

Some of our best and brightest thought he was a better fit at St. Cloud or Winona.

If you watch him - he’s tough

Why is Rutgers a worse matchup than most teams?

 

[cjbfbp]

Thanks! Samuels is afraid to do anything and Cooper in the first half appeared to be auditioning for an ugly drive and shoot contest.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Henley is soooooo careless with some of his passes

Lazy passer

 

[cjbfbp]

Why is Rutgers a worse matchup than most teams?

Major physical specimen at center; quick, strong, and mature players; with a couple of very good shooters (at least in this game). It wasn't all our fault that we lost by 35 the first time.

 

[jblass]

Way to start the second half. Sloppy TO by Henley and then give Rutgers two easy baskets!

 

[Outsider]

Battle’s defense is just horrible. He doesn’t stay in front of anybody.

Starters are all upperclassmen.
