***OFFICIAL ST. FRANCIS AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[touchdownvikings]

How has Ola-Joseph scored? Jumpers. Layups. Putbacks. For those of us not watching.

All in the paint... Backdoor cut; drives. I think one rebound.

He's impressive, in that he's strong but has a soft touch. Can't really teach that. And that's been consistent with him over the two games I've watched him.

Ram

Ramberg has taken 3 of the 4. I’m not saying he sucks, but I am saying he shouldn’t even be sniffing the court for a D1 team.

Rest of the team is indeed 4-5 at the half. Then again it will be free throws late in games that matter (hopefully it’s not close enough to matter this time).

Yup. He's strong. Not afraid to bully smaller guards down by the hoop. And he finishes too. Very impressive for a true freshman.

Thank you.

Does anyone know what's on the back of their warm up jerseys? I can't tell from where I am.

with only playing 8, plenty of minutes to go around
are battle and carrington dressed or street clothes?

 

[Gold Vision]

I like Henley. He’s going to have a good career here.

 

[howeda7]

Nice coast to coast for Henley.

 

[Gold Vision]

TT looks like he is always in someone’s way.

 

[Gopherbbdude]

Cooper can ball!!!!

 

[touchdownvikings]

Agree.

Ball movement looks intentional, and should improve over the year. It's as though we're watching real basketball. Young team. But they play and will improve.

Yes to all

according to Twitter, Carrington warmed up before the game but is not playing. Battle does not have the walking boot on any more, so presumably getting better.

Although, I see a real player emerging in him. ...Next year? Late this year?

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Good to see the diversified scoring across the team in the box score too.

maybe TT can get a point or two

 

[Gold Vision]

I don’t see it, but he’s still young. Could be a better upperclassman contributor.

 

[GopherOhana]

umm, FT up to 75%

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Nice to get Cooper off the floor for a bit.

 

[stocker08]

Nice to see a bunch of guys with the confidence to take a shot.

 

[touchdownvikings]

Not saying he'll be a star - I don't see that yet. But I see him looking visibly larger and stronger. Grabs some boards with confidence. Can shoot a little. Can defend a little. Emerging, but will take time. ... I think so much of his trajectory relates to him growing into his body.

 

[leib0039]

Not able to watch so sometimes box scores don't tell the full story but TT , shesh. Just totally lost out there??

 

[CycloneGopher]

Should be in other games thread but #1 North Carolina in a battle with college of Charleston midway thru second half!

 

[Gold Vision]

Rough half for Payne. He needs a quicker first step and keep the ball away from the quicker guards on the double team.

He does put the ball on the floor unnecessarily. That'll vanish over the course of the year. I hope.

 

[Gold Vision]

Much better minutes from Samuels tonight.

 

[touchdownvikings]

MSU up on Gonzaga 53-52. Nice!

 

[Drake University Gopher]

It’s a really entertaining game. MSU was up almost double digits at the half but the Zags have been chipping away all half. Cool game on the USS Abraham Lincoln

MSU up on Gonzaga 53-52. Nice!

YOU ARE ALL GONNA LOVE WHAT OLA-JOSEPH JUST DID!
