That reverse pivot to the left hand scoop? *chef's kiss*

[HinnyHoosier]

Minnesota doing Minnesota things at home vs Green Bay (coming off their 4 win season). 

Down 4 at half.

[TheWatShot]

At Minnesota will be a good litmus test for this staff. Will we take care of business against a bad team on the road, or will we be subjected to the usual excuse-making about how it's so hard to win on the road in the Big Ten, with heaping praise for Minnesota's roster full of nobodies, and how it was only a matter of time before everything came together for them? 

 

(Apologies for the rant. My IU basketball PTSD kicks in at weird moments.)

If the Pacers are going to have to suffer through this nightmare of a season being in a position to draft that kid would make it worth it.

What Curt Cignetti said applies here:

”They haven’t played this team.”

Gophers hit a shot from about 55 feet at the buzzer to defeat the fighting Doug Gottliebs.

After the buzzer.  Heading to OT

[LamarCheeks]

I take that back. Upon further review, shot was too late. 

Gophers and Gottliebs going to OT. 

[HinnyHoosier]

Minnesota misses 3 of 4 FTs in the last 10 seconds to keep it a one possession game.

Green Bay ties it up with a right hand, right foot layup, only for Minnesota to drain one at the buzzer from beyond half court....

But that's all it was: AT the buzzer, not before. Release was not in time.

 

On to OT for Minnesota to save face against the Fighting Gottliebs.

[LamarCheeks]

Gophers 72, Gottliebs 65, OT 

Green Bay coach can now go prepare for his Monday radio show.

It can’t be any single game because lots of good coaches have lost up there. 
 

With that said…for me it’s at Wisconsin. lol 

 

(I’m fine with forgiving and forgetting past coaches, but the lead Woody blew up there will haunt me for a long time).

Irish up on the Bucknuts in Columbus.  17-10.  10 min to go in 1st H.

[johnsoniu]

Bucknuts hold off the Irish 64-63. 
Marcus Burton 3-14 on the day but didn’t stop him from taking the last three ND shots

Not 1 pass in their last 3 possessions. Particularly liked him trying to body Thornton who outweighs him by 50lbs to create space to get off a shot.

OSU not impressive.  Thornton is a dude. Tilly can play.  Mobley is a strong shooter.  Outside of that, not impressive.   Yet the B1G is winning many of their P5 nonCon games.

I didn't watch, how does Harlason look for ND?

Like an athlete that’s trying figure it out.  Hes an impact maker but he’s limited.  No chance he’s 1 n done.  Hes a willing passer but he doesn’t have a perfect position. High, high potential if he becomes a shooter. But become a shooter all of the sudden isn’t a guarentee.

Not impressive at all. Haven’t seen every B1G team enough yet to be super confident in an opinion, but what I have seen, after PU,  Illinois and Michigan I’m not sure anyone else is just straight up objectively better than IU. They’re a fair bit more cohesive than UCLA, Washington or MSU. Kudos to DDV on that front.

My dad asked me how Bruce Thornton was back my answer the extra year.

[str8baller]

If Houston ever gets our refs from the Marquette game the entire team will foul out before halftime.
