***OFFICIAL TEXAS A&M CORPUS CHRISTI AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[matt]

There is a lot to unpack from this win.

Ben's developing a Tubby stare.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

This game is unreal

 

[BTChamp]

Nice to see a lot of young guys and inexperienced getting playing time against an ultra aggressive team. No freebees here even with a minute left. Let them get stressed and pressed.

 

[Homerpalooza]

I don’t remember the last basketball team I’ve watched that had 28 turnovers in it.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Was that the invisible man in front of Thompson?

Maybe a small resemblance to Saul Smith

There is a lot to unpack from this win.

yeah, players are not going to enjoy the film sessions after this one.

 

[MennoSota]

Well...the good thing is we won. The bad thing...

 

[SPB_Gophers]

What a bizarre game.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Eat your heart out Rich Pitino!

 

[jblass]

Cannot be happy with the turn overs.

Too many, hopefully it will be a learning point. This game should have never ended this close.

 

[RogueGopher]

I think our NET rankings may plummet after this game.

 

[GoldenMAV30266]

Nice to see them lay a clunker and win

 

[MNVCGUY]

Nice to see them lay a clunker and win

Yeah, imagine what the final score would have been if we took care of teh ball at all tonight....would have won by like 30.

 

[howeda7]

I think our NET rankings may plummet after this game.

It won't plummet. CC has a Net of around 110, same as Rutgers. But it would have been nice to keep it above 10.

 

[skyman31]

23 assists is good. 28 turnovers is brutal. Lot of room to grow after this.

 

[#2Gopher]

Eat your heart out Rich Pitino!

Don't think his team would have won tonight. He would be screaming, scouring and what have you. Johnson remained calm and he'll be teaching. Great that we won while not playing so well.

 

[gopherguy15]

A win is a win, but wow Gophers. I guess get that turnover mess of a game out of your system...

 

[skyman31]

BUT - at the end of the day, a win is a win is a win. 9-1 was the goal, and we got there.

 

[XMan]

Uffda. Hard to watch tonight

 

[ForecastingAWin]

I'll take an ugly win any day of the week. Especially this year against a 9-1 team. Don't want to forget that. That said, the team did not play well today. Far too many turnovers. Idk who can bring the ball up other than Willis. Seemed like Stephens was next up at the end of the game. Anyone with pesky defenders should run a full court press all game long against MN and they will have success. All the negativity said, it's another win. Go gophers!

 

[GoldenMAV30266]

Ehh, it happens. I’m just happy it was against CC and not Illinois or Indiana etc etc.

 

[MennoSota]

I don’t remember the last basketball team I’ve watched that had 28 turnovers in it.

...and won. smh this was ugly.

 

[topos]

I worry this game may be the go-to blueprint when big ten coaches scheme up their defense strategy against us….

Been told right here there is no issues with pressure.

 

[crazysauce]

It's hard to be upset with the squad. They clearly have no depth. Bench guys are playing terrible besides Sutherlin. The fox and Ihnen injuries really left us shorthanded unfortunately. It is what it is but these starters are really grinding it out. An injury though would be the end of this run though.

 

[hungan1]

That Jalen Jackson is quite a player. He transferred from North Texas to Texas A&M Corpus Christi. I wonder if he is interested in a Grad Transfer to MN when his time is up?

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

No such thing as moral defeats! We got the W, turnovers sucked but no reason to a stick in the mud over it. GOPHERS WIN!

 

[BTChamp]

They were a super aggressive team that battled and was in the initial passing lanes all night. Corpus is a good team visually. I have no idea what their record will be, but they were ultra aggressive. That is a huge learning curve for the boys. The Gophs looked slow for a good portion tonight. But the best coach in America will get them ready and put the minds in order.
