STrib: Time for Gophers to flip the script against Minnesota-born Badgers

[BleedGopher]

Per Marcus:

The Gophers (seven) and Badgers (five) have a combined 12 players from Minnesota on their rosters. Former Lakeville North standout Nolan Winter is averaging a career-best 11.2 points and team-high 6.1 rebounds for Wisconsin.

As heated as the rivalry gets between the two programs with Minnesotans on both sides, the Gophers are carrying extra weight. They blew a chance to beat the Buckeyes with poor play in crunch time, including 15 missed free throws and fouling issues.

“We’re not a locker room who just wants to fall over and quit,” said Fox, who had his best game as a Gopher with 21 points. “That’s not who we are. Nobody in our locker room is like that, especially when it’s a senior-led group.”

It's time for the Gophers to flip the script against Minnesota-born Badgers

The Gophers need Minnesota natives Parker Fox, Lu’Cye Patterson and Isaac Asuma to thrive at Wisconsin like they did vs. Ohio State.

That script won't be flipped until CBJ has left town.

Direct correlation to the GangleGate debacle and Wisconsin infiltrating the eastern suburbs to poach players. We are still paying the price, and by today's standards, the scandle was lame as hell.

Every year we see this article.

Wisconsin is currently a top 10 offense and the Gopher.defense is in the 120s. It’s not a flipped script that’s needed so much as it is defying the established statistical precedence. It does happen, but not that often.

One thing that might help is that Klesmit rolled an ankle against Rutgers and didn’t return. If he can’t go, that’s 30 minutes they have to replace.

We play in Madison tomorrow and this is the first chatter I've seen about the game, anywhere.

Apathy is far worse than anger.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I’ll be there cheering on the gophs!!!

Ben is waiting the weeds to get his first B1G win against Wisconsin. Sure thing.

6 PM on a Friday on Peacock. And 13 point underdogs. Get pumped!

Do you think Lakeville or Osseo are eastern suburbs?

Watching this game may be like going to see an execution. It's not pretty and it is better to turn away and not look.

Do you think Lakeville or Osseo are eastern suburbs?

I was wondering the same thing.

Am I missing something? Lakeville is more south, but it’s pretty east. But point taken - Davison was a westsider and Jordan Taylor went to BSM.
