I LOVE THE BARN
I’ve forgotten how much fun The Barn is. I will cry if they ever tear it down.
what you say here can, and will, be used against you
and it is so hard not to clap for the Rouser
Don’t tell the athletic comm staff but when the rouser is playing, my toe is definitely tapping! (not THAT kind of tapping)

the student section is JACKED tonight
did I mention that I love the Barn?

great D by the Gophers
on that third possession
what you say here can, and will, be used against you
cause they play great D
notice how few “good shots” we’ve had so far?
It takes so much to get up the floor and make an entry pass or two. And guys are standing around too much.

I LOVE how we are pounding it inside tonight
Sampson is getting very deep.
what you say here can, and will, be used against you
Tru That
rebounds are 13-6 as well.
Offense can’t get going against this defense.

this is going to be a long night
Purdue is just significantly better in every facet.

Funny thing is
we actually out played them the first time…we just couldn’t shoot.
We still can’t shoot, btw.
I don’t think we outplayed them. We had a nice first 10 minutes

I agree with PJS
we got some good shots in the paint that we missed but tehre is a reason we shot so poorly overall

we've been
making a real effort to pound teh ball inside tonight and now we go with no center?

I LOVE that box out
clear everyone out, let the ball bounce then grab it! :)
what you say here can, and will, be used against you
once when I was playing
we did a box out drill. All five guys had to box out, let the ball bounce twice without the offense getting a finger on it. We were in that drill for a LONG time

it took away a sure basket

rebound numbers

Rencito, hummel left with what looked like a maybe serious knee injury.

myron is reporting possible torn ACL

Hummel
Yeah, he was driving in to his right and his right foot looked like it slipped and his knee bent awkwardly out, possible ACL tear. His outside shooting kills zone defenses. I hate to see that, it gives us a chance in a game that looked like we were going to get blown away though. Hopefully he is only out for the rest of this game.
We need to rebound and shoot much better to have a chance even if hummels out

That is too bad
Purdue is one of the best teams in the country. I would have liked to see them go deep in the tournament.
welcome to the rs3 era

actually an 18-0 run
17-30 with 4:48 in first half
what you say here can, and will, be used against you
Sorry I'm late.
This is the line for Ralph Sampson III bobbleheads, right?
Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

in case you care for your recap
17-26 whenHummel went down with 7:11 left in half
17-30…18-0 run currently

how much of Purdue colling off
is from the zone? We started Man and they were HOT.
I’m guessing but I bet it was 8-19 when we switched to the zone, right after the 10:54 timeout

Westbrook is playing really well
Even though he isn’t scoring. He is doing a good job of passing inside.
true
this is a rare game for him.
remember in my preview when I said they needed to play great as a team? This is it my friends.

Pursue is starting to pick up the defensive pressure on the perimeter. Overplaying. A back door would be nice.
Maroon and Gold Headquarters: The Daily Gopher
by PJS on Feb 24, 2010 9:10 PM CST via mobile reply actions
that backdoor by Westbrook was exactly the right play
when Jackson was all over him
or was it Joseph?

Lets execute down the stretch now.
We have lost too many games in the last few minutes. Lets win this one!

not exactly a strength of ours

I would foul
I would rather have the ball at the end than be on defense. I don’t like our prospects in OT.
please can we pull this out

This is what its like being a minnesota fan. Great how tubby went away from what was working inside in favor of guards dribbling.

Not sure if this was supposed to be a shot at us or something, but without this win, there’s no chance we’re making the tournament unless we win the Big Ten title. And something tells me that’s not going to happen.
Kill, maim, pillage, burn! Kill, maim, pillage, burn! Eat babies! Badger babies!
I'm sure it wasn't meant to be a shot at the Gophers.
But win your last 3 + the first in the BTT and I think you have a shot. The last 3 + 2 BTT wins and I think you’re in.
This game summed up our season pretty well
And it’s just depressing.
Kill, maim, pillage, burn! Kill, maim, pillage, burn! Eat babies! Badger babies!
