Game Thread: Minnesota at Colorado State
Minnesota Golden Gophers at Colorado St. Rams, Nov 22, 2008 9:00 PM CST
The team's MVP from a year ago is back tonight after a brief hiatus. I was very, very worried when news of his injury emerged before the season began. I thought he would be out longer. It's great to have him back.
The Gophers beat CSU last year at Williams Arena, this game is on the road, the Gophers are likely without Ralph Sampson III, and if the Rams have a strength it's height. Playing inside for the Gophers--if RSIII indeed sits out--will be Colton Iverson, Johnson and Paul Carter? Jonathan Williams will be out for awhile longer.
I'll be watching how the newcomers respond to a road environment. None of the newcomers have been overly impressive. Will one of them step up tonight?
For CSU, watch Andy Ogide on the inside. He's a transfer from Ole Miss, a 6'8 forward, who is averaging 16 points and 11 rebounds. I expect to see Johnson get the call to cover Ogide.
Senior guard Marcus Walker has led the Rams offensively with 24 points per game. Walker has been able to shoot from the outside and get to the free throw line.
The game starts at 9 p.m. central time. It is on The Mountain West Network. If you have DirecTV, this is on the SportsPack and is on channel 616.

Keys to the second half for Tubby's team.
Stop Ogdibe (sp) and Vanderbeer. Keep them off the boards. The Rams are leading us 18-13 on the glass.
We also need to control the ball. When they jumped out 10, we were turning it over.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.
It really does suck for Utah
they deserve to play one of the big boys…they will probably end up playing Cincinnati or Miami either of whom they will CRUSH
3 chances here on this first posession. Need to capitalize.
And we do . Westbrook for a long 2.
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.
DJ, Westbrook, and Nolen
are going to be fun to watch…now if the new guys can step up a little…Iverson, Carter, Bostick, RSIII…someone
I thjink Carter needs to play like DJ. Get reboudns, play D and let the O come to him.
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.
