Gophers Look to Beat Indiana (again) - OPEN THREAD

Im talking myself into optimism, so I’ll go with you.

…I say we lose by at least 10 and the Hoosiers shoot well from 3 and we can’t answer it.

I feel like Indiana will be focused and I doubt they are looking past us given we beat them in their house. I’m not sure how we come out after another “almost did something great” moment. Are we getting tired of “almost winning”? Do we totally lack the confidence needed to close-out games? Or will a leader emerge at home? Do we start a run here to close out strong to get back on the bubble where we can collapse and not make the NCAAs and then we can all be pissed off all over again?

Few hours I guess we’ll know!

Cheers gents. Ski U Mah.

I do like that IU team and their coach. Not surprised what Tom Crean has done in turning that program around. Speaking of TC (ex-Marquette) , I really like that current coach of Marquette (24-5)—-just sayin’. I’m with GN on a starting lineup—-the future starts now, play those young pups in the backcourt. Let EE play agst Zeller—-might not be pretty but a good experience for him. I will be shocked if the Gophers win, but I was blindsided by that last IU game so who knows??

If your prediction proves even two thirds correct I would nominate you to head the Federal Reserve where your prescience could be more usefully applied.

Welch sitting due to hip pointer, according to Marcus, but will play.

Two shots spun out.

And tubby told him to sit back down twice

And sit there and say nothin whine Crean prances about on the floor during our possessions, positions himself behind the guy with the ball and screams at him.

At minimum the refs need to tell him to stay off the floor, if not call the T. You can’t play defense, coach.

Between the turnovers and the failure to get it into a wide open Ralph in the post, he is killing us.

For him. Made a layup unlike his teammates

this first half. You can observe more intensity from a girl’s archery team. And Joe Coleman needs to sit down at the end of the bench until October 1.

During the half time shout around. His attitude may be the best part of this season.

Second half continues the first.

And still whistled.

But they haven’t fixed any of the problems either.

Who can just drain from three with a guy in his face.

Rolling in. Hosea crittendon. On the road at the barn. We should be humiliated.

Mbakwe we would be a tournament team. With Mbakwe and Mo we could possibly have been competing for a Big Ten title. Tubby has no control over the injuries. But it is just hard to avoid the conclusion that the existing team reflects the attitude and intensity of the coach. It is sad to think we have at least one more year of this pathetic effort unless Tubby does the decent thing and retires.

Well. After that, I’m ready to say that I would shed no tears if Tubby decided to retire. That was just unacceptable.

Obviously the Mich St L was deflating. Just awful “body language” the whole game.

Tossing his players under the fucking bus again. “you’ve got who you’ve got, I guess they gave their best today”

I can’t STAND that about Tubby.

Agree. Treated poorly last year. I told his parents that at B10T last March. They were polite but I think they agreed that he deserved better (as a senior).
