***OFFICIAL UCLA AND CRABBY CRONIN AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[everybody knows my name]

A great game to watch for a basketball fan, but a nervous game for a Gophers fan.

Can they maintain this pace? Can they hit enough shots?

I love these guys. They compete so hard.

 

[Ewert86PC]

One page for this game?

I hope my phone acting up is just messing with the display.

Hope Reynolds is OK after that dunk attempt

Kai getting a lot of run here

Ope…just got up to re-enter

 

[Unregistered User]

And for a couple of announcers I don’t recall hearing before, they are doing a nice job

 

[JZABR]

Love Lang hyping up the crowd

 

[everybody knows my name]

Asuma's going to have a big bruise, and I hope that's all.

 

[WinMinGophers!]

65-61 with 6:30 left.

Got my money worth.

Now will they be gassed?

 

[Gilthorp57]

This team has some grit!!

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

How well we defend Bilodeau down the stretch will tell the story of this game

 

[everybody knows my name]

67-61 with 6:14 left. Go for the win!

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Great play by Durkin getting in front of Bilodeau, would've been 2 points guaranteed if he'd have gotten pinned on the back side

 

[saintpauljeff]

Wow, I’ll say this, nobody plays harder than these Niko players in the conf. Love watching their hustle.

 

[everybody knows my name]

I loved hearing the crowd noise. Yelling, cheering, chanting - that's what a home game should be.

 

[JZABR]

Playing 6 guys in the B1G requires not just good coaching, but smart coaching. Niko calling a timeout a little bit before a TV timeout is an example. Obviously, being selective when running and playing a slower offense. Obviously requires good coaching in regards to not fouling and playing such an effective zone defense. This is the definition of getting the most out of your players

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Durkin, man

 

[GophersInIowa]

That was not a foul on Grove

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Make free throws down the stretch!

 

[saintpauljeff]

Is there a better conditioned team in the conf too? It’s impressive

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Grove at the line

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

We could chew major clock if we give our fouls

 

[Ewert86PC]

The Gophers have four fouls to give with 30 seconds left in the half?! That is awesome discipline.

 

[everybody knows my name]

Is there a better conditioned team in the conf too? It’s impressive

Shoot, I don't know, but it takes conditioning, mental toughness, and a good attitude. Not to mention strategy and tactics from the coach.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

We could chew major clock if we give our fouls

 

[Ewert86PC]

Is there going to be a storming of the court??

 

[Gilthorp57]

Bobby D!!!

 

[GophersInIowa]

We could chew major clock if we give our fouls

I’m guessing that’s why they took a TO to talk about it.

 

[Unregistered User]

3 Gophers with over 20 points

 

[Gilthorp57]

Bilodeau's previous three attempt was from nearly 40 feet lol

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Hack as soon as they catch the inbounds!

 

[everybody knows my name]

Gopherholers, if you were at today's game, we want to hear about it. What did you see and hear?
