***OFFICIAL UMKC AT MINNESOTA BEN JOHNSON DEBUT IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Gopherbbdude]

Not a good stretch of bball

 

[GopherBlood777]

It is tough to keep up the same defensive intensity from the first half when you only play 7 guys.

 

[touchdownvikings]

Not really seeing any defense. And the ball movement to create easy offense is lacking.

Big Matt Painter fan. He seems to use the preseason to develop his players, wins and loses seem secondary. Why not emulate his success?

He's an established coach and guys know he's going to be good eventually. I think that losing a bunch in the non-conference would really hurt the confidence in CBJ and the team.

 

[howeda7]

Two complete lapses on defense the last few minutes. Ugly.

 

[ForecastingAWin]

Not really seeing any defense. And the ball movement to create easy offense is lacking.

Thats what I've been most disappointed with - lack of ball movement.

 

[skyman31]

Ramberg sighting! Surprise over Thiam

 

[howeda7]

Daniels with a broken finger? Ugh.

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

Willis? Where are you?

 

[howeda7]

Willis? Where are you?

Whatchu talkin about?

 

[howeda7]

I knew you could do it Loewe

 

[GopherBlood777]

Nice run by the Gophers, should be hard to lose now

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Sounds like we are balling all the sudden.

 

[RogueGopher]

This one is over. Congrats to Ben Johnson getting his first win! Go Gophers!

 

[Ski U Mah Gopher]

Nice 12-0 run.

 

[topos]

This is grit

 

[Spottedmuskie]

We struggled all night until we put Ramberg in, huge run

 

[skyman31]

Wow. Absolutely love that response. A team with a bunch of new guys, best player in foul trouble, blows a double digit lead, and immediately responds with smart passes by Curry late in the shot clock, great defense by willis on a corner 3, and big shots by Loewe and Stephens

 

[howeda7]

Nice 12-0 run.

Nice to see a MN team not respond to blowing a lead by putting their hands around their neck for once this week.

 

[RogueGopher]

Ramberg comes in and Gophers go on a 12-0 run. Coincedence?

 

[howeda7]

How many butt slaps in this huddle?

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Did we win?

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

For a moment I can delude myself with the useless fact that starting this week (Monday) none of my favorite Minnesota teams have choked and died before my very eyes.

 

[RogueGopher]

Did we win?

Yup. Never a doubt

 

[howeda7]

Not a Wolves fan?

 

[Bayfield Gopher]

Zing! That Big Ten over Summit.
Now we need to close the sale!

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Not a Wolves fan?

That game was so traumatizing I forgot that was just yesterday. Now the wolves have even taken my delusion from me.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Big Congrats to Ben Johnson on his first win! It was done with great energy, go gophers!!!!

 

[skyman31]

Ended the game on a 17-4 run. Love that.

 

[bc2211]

So is Thompson redshirting?
