LOL

Can't be as bad as the beat down we got. First score I saw was 33-31 Michigan. Next score that I saw was 67-43. They couldn't miss and when they did, it went right back to them. Indiana is good and focuses on the interior play. Michigan is good and will run you to death. Our guards are not on that level yet.

I guess, I'm not looking forward to that. Couple more weeks and Indiana will play "Bo Ball" better than Bo...AND run circles around UW.

I just hate it when they get into games like that Nebraska game. I know the Badgers aren't going to be able to out run teams in every game, but when it's the obvious solution to a grind out game that you could potentially lose, why not pick up the tempo and use transition to get easy baskets against a team that you ARE actually more athletic than? I just don't get it. Can't shoot. Can't make the half court work. Let's just keep doing the same thing? Why?

Minnesota 81 at Indiana 88
Gophers come up a little short on this one.
The game flipped midway through the first half, when Hulls got the 3-pointer flurry started. He and Oladipo combined for 16 points in an 18-2 run that gave Indiana a 34-17 first-half lead. The Hoosiers extended the halftime lead to 52-29.
The Gophers led by Andre Hollins with 25 points, but had its 11-game winning streak snapped despite rallying from 23 points down at halftime to within three with 19.5 seconds left.

Man after 2 close home losses Iowa needs to win at least 3 of their next 4 to get back into tourney talk IMO and with 3 of them on the road that seems like a bit to bite off especially with how BAD the Hawks have been on the road this year.

I really hope Traevon Jackson's performance today is not a fluke. This team is scary good when they shoot well.

Yea that must have been a great game to watch. I guess maybe Minnesota is finally on the rise?

Wisconsin might be hitting their groove. You Hawks get your butts ready for a spanking, okay?

 

[ForkEmBucky]

So... Ohio State now?

Michigan started slow, but by the end of the game it was pretty clear they were the better team. My hunch is that Minnesota is the best in the league, but Michigan and Indiana have solid arguments as well. OSU, MSU, and maybe us are the second tier, IMO.

Yea I'm not going to accept that.

Richard Dickey V. is coming to the barn tonight baby.
Number nine Gophers take on Number five Michigan.
Hopefully we learned from the lackluster start at Indiana.
believe it ForkEmBucky!

 

[ForkEmBucky]

I don't wanna.

 

[anythingispossible]

Well apparently we can't beat top 10 teams.
Lackluster passing led to too many turnovers.
Michigan was shooting lights out Congratulations Michigan.
Next up Northwestern.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

Another bonkers season in the B1G. You have to love it, really. It wouldn't be any fun if we knew who was going to be the top dog at the end.

 

[anythingispossible]

True!

Big game against tOSU tonight. I'm not expecting a win but keeping it respectable would be nice

 

[ForkEmBucky]

I figured I'd wait a while before I complained, since we got our asses righteously kicked.

I sided with Uthoff, but he got what he wanted. He said what he wanted to say to the media. He carries enough of a grudge to pull this? Maybe they're both assholes, and that's why they couldn't get along.

A loss to fifth ranked Duke
A loss to fifth ranked Indiana
A loss to fifth ranked Michigan
Then what the Hell a loss at Northwestern I don’t get it.
The1-3-1 zone that middle Schoolers deploy confused the kids.
Pass quick, attack gaps and cut up the zone it isn't rocket science.
On to Madison this weekend Good luck to your team Bucky.
