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

[upnorthkid]

that definitely goes down as being dumb with the ball

 

[stocker08]

FFS......get the ball in cleanly. Should not be this difficult.

 

[rivergopher]

Run a cross screen just one time, why in the world is it just stand and throw it in. Just terrible.

 

[howeda7]

This would be an all timer.

 

[howeda7]

We deserve to lose.

 

[SHGopher]

 

[Gilthorp57]

Time for the phantom fouls

 

[GringaGopher]

Wow ! Somebody provide some poise…

we havent been able to inbound the ball or get it across half court 3 straight times. that's not on the zebras

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

De ju vu all over again. Not!

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Is it a rule that Garcia is the only person that can in bound the ball?

No it is not just awful coaching on how to break a press.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

This is just like if 12-year-old me was Rutgers and was losing this game so I hit pause, went to the controller setting, swapped from Rutgers to Minnesota and then purposely just started throwing the ball away just so I could my team back in the game. Then I will switch back over once its tied up or I get a little lead to finish the game off and still feel like I earned the W.

 

[stocker08]

Free throws. Make them please.

 

[Dakota2]

We deserve to lose.

Stupid.

 

[PeterMac05]

The fact they let Mike Mitchell play 30+ minutes a game is genuinely insane to me. No where near a power 5 basketball player

 

[howeda7]

Why are you fouling? My God.

 

[GringaGopher]

Hawkins on these fouls ??

 

[upnorthkid]

hawk can you just fucking not for once?!

 

[rivergopher]

Why in the world would we foul there. Just absolutely boneheaded. And lets them set up their press. Just stupid.

 

[stocker08]

hawk can you just fucking not for once?!

Seriously. Now is not the time. Just play defense.....ffs.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Guys, it shouldn't be this hard, let's close this out

 

[Gopher Ally]

Win or lose I can’t believe this monumental meltdown, it’s bad for my BP

 

[howeda7]

Guys, it shouldn't be this hard, let's close this out

If you can't close a 17 point lead under 4:00 without ending up in a panic, something's very wrong.

 

[skiumah1]

Why are we taking a timeout there! You need 'em if you get in trouble...

Where do you people come from? My god.

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

FT time !

 

[WilliamsArenaGuy]

I’m genuinely surprised we had Payne on the floor for these last 2 1/2 minutes the whole time after the mini meltdown. At the point where Rutgers had got it close how did they not just foul Payne literally every time we had the ball? It seems like that is definitely the strategy to go for.

 

[Gold Vision]

That was a baseline violation on their inbounds

 

[BleedGopher]

Outside of 2 erratic minutes towards the end, this was a fantastic second half!!!

This team is very fun to watch.

Go Gophers!!
