Wisconsin @ Minnesota Game Thread

Pound the ball down low, that's what needs to happen. Colton is getting pounded on. Make the FT's and we'll be fine.
 

WI with 6 fouls just over 4 minutes into the half. Have got to hit the free throws that are going to start coming.
 





So I know that people here say that the three point shots will be open with Tubby's defense, isn't there any way to make them not so WIDE open though?
 






So, how much did Bo-bo slip to slick Eddie at halftime? Jesus....bad charge, missed travel consecutively
 

Hightower.... are you kidding me.
 


come on. clear foul on Wisconsin and no call. bullshit refs.
 




This is utter bullshit. Tackling on one side...no call, get within a foot on the other....whistle.
 

I am dead CLucking serious in that ALL OFFICIALS need to call less charges. The defense needs to be SET before contact. The 'charge' on Westbrook earlier vs. Landry was another unbelieve sucky charge call.

P.S. Landry tripping before that was called on us was equally brutal.
 


Refs?

I will fully admit, the Gophers got the benefit of the doubt in the first half. But with the game on the line, the Badgers get FOUR bad calls in a row? COME ON.

Other things...why the hell are Sampson and Iverson in there at the same time late in the 2nd half? It's bad enough that they play at the same time to start the game and to start the 2nd half....this is just dumb.

The other thing, GUARD THE 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wisconsin hasn't done squat inside all game, so why not guard the 3? If Wisconsin doesn't shoot the lights out from 3, they're not even in this game. But that said, they had a LOT of open looks.
 

If you can count on one thing, it'll be at least one dirty play from Krabbenhoft
 

Notice to Krabbenhoft - if he ever finds himself in a pickup game vs. me...he will be taken out on a screen. What a cheapshot. Book it, bitz...
 

It's sad...we play such good defense (save the three...), but offensively, we are brutally bad. If we had one scorer, we'd be up by ten right now....
 

This is starting to look identical to the Illinois game down the stretch. Our guys are scared to death to take a shot from more than 10 feet out. That's why the Badgers are scoring so much easier in the second half. They started hitting three's, which opened up driving lanes and now they're getting open looks every time down.

Meanwhile, we're forcing things to the inside SO much on offense, nobody has anywhere to go because they won't take the jumper.
 



Hate to say it, but this one's over and so are our NCAA hopes. That's the first time I've said this during the season, but our offense is so stagnant and predictable that there's no way we're coming back to win this game. And as far as the NCAAs go, if we lose tonight, we really don't deserve to be in.

Yet another learning lesson for the players, coaching staff and unfortunately, another year of waiting for us as fans.
 


It ain't over til it's over..........we can still win this thing!!
