GameThread: Minnesota v. Michigan State
Minnesota Golden Gophers at Michigan St. Spartans, Mar 13, 2009 11:00 AM CDT
Since taking over the Gophers last season, Tubby Smith is 0-4 against Tom Izzo. Will that change today?
If it does, it will be because the Gophers hold their own on the boards, protect the basketball to limit MSU's transition game and shoot better than 30 percent from three.
The experts say the Gophers are in the NCAA Tournament either way. But to be safe, a win against Michigan State today would virtually seal an invitation.
Yesterday, I wrote the Gophers needed someone to step up on offense other than Lawrence Westbrook. Devron Bostick answered that call. If the Gophers are to win, we need another player from Tubby's deep bench to answer the call. My money is on Paul Carter today.
I should be here throughout. Gametime is Noon eastern time. The game will be carried by ESPN.
Go Gophers!

Repeat question
Does anyone else see a similarity between Westbrook and the old NBA champ Vinnie “the microwave” Johnson?? Almost exact physique and game. I would use Westbrook exactly the same way those NBA coaches did Johnson. I am dating myself but he played in the 80’s.

Good point.
I’m old enough, too, to remember what a great “sixth man” Vinnie was. He could come in cold off the bench and deliver a clutch performance, especially near the end of the game.

suggestion
I would suggest that Blake Hoff get a hold of a Manu Ginobilli highlight tape. Manu is the NBA all-star for the SA Spurs. They both look alike, same size, same #2 guard spot, left-handed, etc. This would be a great player for Blake to emulate.

BLake's gotta hit some shots before being compared to Ginobilli.

Gophers a lock?
I don’t think so. The committee would have to put 8 Big Ten Teams into the tourney for them to be a lock. It’s possible, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Too many people around the country don’t like the Big Ten style of play. They want to see more “wide-open” basketball. Now, if the Gophers would win today…well then…
LOCK!

I know 8 teams seems like a lot. ....
But the Big Ten was downright awesome in the non-conference slate. That’s why we’ll get 8.

6OTs
Was watching on justintv in the office, then in the bed, then hat to slither out as the laptop went out of batteries so back to the office.
It was great until the 6th, at that point it started to look NBA all-star esque. Which is understandable. I hope we don’t draft Thabeet.

Thabeet
Actually would make a pretty sick frontline down there, it’s just I still feel like we need another true weapon. Thabeet at best Mutombo like ceiling. Wishful thinking that we’ll land an immediate difference maker, so I probably have too high of wishes.

So sayeth Myron
From his blog – “Minnesota coach Tubby Smith said that he had to apologize to Bostick recently for not playing him more often. Smith said he’s been so focused on Bostick’s defensive lapses that he’s sometimes failed to realize how much his offense could help the team. We’ll see if he gets some more minutes against Michigan State Friday.”
That’s not ok to me.

No he can make those, he is 37.5% on the year

I don't think winning a conference tourney
should justify an NCAA bid. I prefer the automatic bid be for the regular season title. A 4-day run can negate 5 months of basketball? It’s an absurd proposition.

There's nothing wrong with losing heavily
to the number 6 team in the nation when you are ranked in the 20s. That means you are what everyone thought you were.
