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

[howeda7]

That was a baseline violation on their inbounds

That never gets called. Except occasionally on the Gophers.

 

[scools12]

Good win but you might be looking a long time to find a team in the country that is dumber than the Gophers.

 

[upnorthkid]

good win

 

[stocker08]

That's a good win against a team that's surging right now.

 

[howeda7]

Thumbs up to Piekiell for calling off the dogs there.

 

[rivergopher]

Where do you people come from? My god.

Yeah a guy shooting almost 40% from 3 on close to 11 points a game. He should not be playing I guess.

 

[Unregistered User]

Never a doubt

 

[Wally]

Great fight thru adversity at the end.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Rutgers is on the bubble? We are the damn bubble! LETS GOOO!!

 

[Outsider]

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

Go away

 

[Gold Vision]

Nice game. Gotta shore up that close out confidence.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Beat the hottest team in the league.

Scored 81 points on the best defensive team in the league.

Clinched a winning regular season with 16 wins.

I'll take it!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Rutgers coming in to today’s tilt was second in the B10 in points allowed with 64.8 and we hung 81 on them

@MonikerSchmoniker45
Won by 11 you clown.

 

[howeda7]

Ben Johnson is 8-1 vs Rutgers at home, eh BTN?

Edit: I see it was MN overall.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Ruh oh, choking away big leads, looking amazing one minute then inexplicably looking like trash for extended periods, then you hear that voice in that interview? Ben Johnson is getting Doc Rivers disease.

 

[skiumah1]

Great win - We can look so dominating when we put it all together. The lapses are pretty damn frustrating but it's hard to complain overall.

On to the next!

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Ruh oh, you hear that voice in that interview? Ben Johnson is getting Doc Rivers disease.

True. He does sound a bit like Doc Rivers.

 

[Homerpalooza]

Garcia and Payne … love it. Great win.

 

[Unregistered User]

All 5 starters score in double figures.

 

[RogueGopher]

Thank God I can stop hearing people talk about Rutgers on the bubble. Now start putting some damn respect on Minnesota.

How did Betts play?

 

[howeda7]

How did Betts play?

He avoided getting hit in the eye by Jack Wilson's bow/arrows.

 

[RogueGopher]

How did Betts play?

#1 in butt slaps and high fives
Jack Wilson best bow and arrow imitation of the game

Huge performance from the bench stars

Someone will reference this as a real reason he was a good use of a scholarship this year.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Gophers go up by 17 - I actually allowed myself to think that "OK, I can relax now." and then the Gophers turned their brains off and allowed Rutgers back into the game.

This team does a lot of things well, but they can also look so clueless at times. way too many empty possessions on offense. you can't take anything for granted - which makes the games exciting, but also makes them nerve-wracking.

they need to win the 3 remaining home games.

 

[mplarson7]

This summer, Payne needs to be locked in a gym to practice free throws.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

I'll take it!

We also kind of bullied a team that is known for playing physical.

We aren't an easy out for anyone right now.

 

[RogueGopher]

He's a big moral guy. Need some good vibes

 

[howeda7]

Tomorrow's Practice: Payne: Free throws. Everyone Else: Inbounding against a full court press.
