***OFFICIAL RUTGERS VS MINNESOTA BIG TEN TOURNAMENT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Stan]

It's postseason time Gopher fans!! And Rutgers awaits, a squad that will undoubtedly want revenge after the whooping we took to them earlier in the season.

It's one of these years where I just don't want the season to end. Such a fun team, such a fun year with so much promise ahead of us. Let's ball out! Let's make a run! Why not us? Why not now?

GET 'ER DONE MEDVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stan, You have no idea how much I look forward to your unfailing and enthusiastic message that you post in advance of every game. You make visiting GH a real pleasure.

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

Today we start the big push.

Despite the record, I haven't had this much fun watchung Gopher Basketball since Melvin Newbern was robbing the best guards in the nation and faking out the cameraman at the same time. OK, maybe 1996-97.

I'm in Rutgers territory. I know with only 6 players, every game is a tall order, but do not lose this one.

Go Gophers!

I’d like the season to continue beyond today. Get a win. Make it interesting

 

[Eastside Forever]

Let's go GOPHERS!!!

 

[Off-GridTNgopher]

Havent been this excited in a while.. let's string a few wins together and surprise a few opponents!

 

[Zeppelin Gopher]

We've lost 8 (8!!) neutral site games in a row (last W was over Nebraska in the 2023 BTT).

That streak needs to end tonight...I'm not ready for the season to end. Live to fight another day!!

Thank you I appreciate that. They are a lot more fun to write when we're winning!

Both an interesting and sad fact. We’ve exorcised many demons this year. This would be another good one to frighten away.

We're favored by 4.5 and are 8 points better than them on paper, but the game is not played on paper, it is played on a neutral court. Something's gotta give!

 

[LesBolstad]

Bobby D needs 4+ threes for us to win. Knock em' down BD!

As always, we will need a functional Durkin. Everyone should have a functional Durkin.

 

[FinnGopher]

I watch this team and every game I think to myself "their legs are gonna give out" but these guys keep fighting. Here's to breaking the neutral site jinx tonight and to those legs having just a bit more left in them for another day of basketball.

 

[restovich]

Just beat stinkin' Rutgers!

 

[Spaulding!No!]

As Parker says on KFAN. Ski U Mah!!

Do they get snacks for neutral site wins? Either way, I'm planning on having snacks for a neutral site win.

If we played them ten times they might win nine, but not tonight, not this game.

 

[BleedGopher]

Wait, tonight is Rutgers right? Let's save Herb for MSU in the semis or Michigan in the finals.

Go Gophers!!

 

[topos]

Love that we get Rutgers first. Truly, one of the only teams I'm comfortable sitting back in the zone and letting them bomb away.

Goal: Gizzi gets 5+ minutes late in this one.

Have the ice baths ready post-game!

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

If we played them ten times they might win nine, but not tonight, not this game.

I would surely hope the first part of your statement is not true!

 

[Holy Man]

No. Just us.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Go Gophers!!!

 

[Spottedmuskie]

What story would that be with us winning the B1G with only 6 players

Fairytale?

lets keep season going

weird to say it's been fun season, but watching this team prep and play and outright compete (yes we did get killed not too long ago) has been fun

And the board is much more tolerable
