***OFFICIAL wisconsin AT MINNESOTA RIVALRY GAME IN-GAME THREAD, BETTER DEAD THAN RED!!!***

[PMWinSTP]

Terrific game—both teams played beautifully; two first-rate coaches; and well officiated (other than the two Badger flops). Minnesota dominated the series from 1970 to 1999. The Badgers have returned the favor since the Clem era. As a couple of other posters have written: we are coming with Niko leading the way.

Refs did miss a few pretty obvious travels on the badgers and called a couple ticky tack fouls that are usually just the normal rough and tumble play in the B1G.

Groves got hammered on the "great Janicki block" per Shon Morris. Doubt he would've made the FT's but still....

Tyson missing 2 of 3 FT's late was a killer.

Great effort. Gonna really miss Tyson and Reynolds next year.

Finallly...the Badgers are a bunch of punks. Janicki talking smack on a block (obvious foul), Carrington and Boyd taunting to the crowd, and the rest of the douches going to shush the student section after the buzzer beater.....gotta hope karma is a bitch.

The sting of losing a 1 point game in OT still lingers, but no time to sulk. The Red Menace awaits. And somewhere Marcus Fuller is disappointed he no longer covers the Gophers so he can write his annual "Former MN HS players now playing for wisconsin."

We must never forget Nolan Winter blew kisses to the Gopher student section. We must never forget Carrington traded his maroon and gold for red and white (albeit with a pitstop in between).

wisconsin is coming off one of the biggest upsets in CBB this year. They are playing great. We cannot let them open a lead and get their visiting fans who need to live in MN for better quality of life an opportunity to get loud.

WE MUST DEFEND OUR HOME COURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Tough week for gophers, 1 point overtime loss to SC and now a buzzer beater by the badgers. Should be 5-1, but I’m really impressed with how well this team plays. I know the wins will come. Medved continues to impress and he has this program moving in the right direction.

So pissed off.

Put the game on record, watched until about 10 minutes left and changed channels on that TV to do a podcast. Had another tv on ACC and didn’t think they would show a score, get done with our show, go to the recording and out of the side of my eye I see a replay of the skunks celebrating.

Still watched the last 10 minutes hoping it was some other team in red…gutted

Need more bodies, more minutes. guys are working hard, but this is another lost season.

Positive are the minutes Grove and Shinholster are getting.

Been a long time since we’ve seen a healthy team for the majority of the season.

I love this squad. They come as close to maxing themselves out as any time I have seen here. Comparable to the Arob, Hagen, Coleman, Grier, Lawson team years back. Had they won these last two at the buzzer instead of the reverse, they would be in serious tournament contention. As it is we just have to watch and enjoy basketball the way it is supposed to be played. Better days are ahead for this program- finally.

Cool, moral victory

Still an “L” in a winnable game
