Minny looks decent 😅The Gophers are up at the half on the road 43-35
Our next two opponents going at it
Let’s hope not. I think we are tied for 7th if Minn loses.Minnesota is a good team. They are fighting for a chance to make the dance too. I believe bac said they have the worst OOC SOS so that's a huge red flag
Win at Purdue is as good of a win as there is though... if they can hang on
But a win for Minnesota solidifies that as a Q1 win for us if we can get itLet’s hope not. I think we are tied for 7th if Minn loses.
True - so win/win I love it.But a win for Minnesota solidifies that as a Q1 win for us if we can get it
Uconn needs to lose and then we have a shot to beat them 3 years in a row as the #1 ranked team in the countryKind of want Purdue to reclaim the top spot…before next week.
In what? The nit? We still have a lot of work to doMinny and RU should both be in.
No doubt but just watching, we are a different team.In what? The nit? We still have a lot of work to do

Along with the emotional letdown of shooting so well and having a lead that you let slip awayProbably the best outcome tbh. A fairly efficient loss gives the Gophers a path toward Q1 while not giving a bubble rival a quality win
Cliff has to guard Payne. Mag on Garcia is a lock as long as he's playingScangg, I've been thinking Cliff would draw Garcia. He's 6' 11" that's a lot of height for Mag. Granted Payne is 255# and that is a load, too. Either way, it does look tough if Mag is not playing. But I like where you're at with the rest of the D. Only five turnovers for the Gophers tonight. I expect we will force considerably more.
Matchup problems work both ways. I see a Minnesota team where Christie won't like being checked by Williams, and Davis and Simpson will make life difficult for Mitchell and Hawkins. Hawkins has 5+ assists in 18 straight games. Let's see how he handles Davis being all up in his business on Sunday night.I see some real match up problems for us particularly if Mag cannot play. We are going to have to play a much cleaner game than last night on the offensive end to offset what I expect to be a rebounding and foul disadvantage.
I do not know why, but the tiebreakers at the moment would have us as the 7 seed if the season ended today.Lots of people saying yesterday that a Purdue win put us at #7 but the sports sites (including https://bigten.org/standings.aspx?path=mbball ) have us as #9.
Anyone know why? Or do they just not count tiebreakers at this point
If Mag plays, what are "some real matchup problems"?I saw the back end of the first half when Minnesota was hotter shooting the three than we were against Wisconsin. They have a nice team. Payne is an active big who more polished this year. Garcia is very tall but seems to prefer the perimeter. Christie can also shoot the ball.
