I didn't see the game, but I do see we gave up 51 points in the second half. Fran-ball alive and well.

To be fair we only gave up 39 the first 18.5 minutes..

Theres literally mo reason to be upset with this team this year

Last year at this time if youd told me Baer , Cook, Moss, McCaffrey, Nungr all wouldnt play fot Iowa this year, Bohannon would miss 2/3 of the season and Fredrivk would be out 25% og the year i wouldve told you Iowa wouldnt win 12 games

Its house money at this point

Overall I agree, but I just get sick of the lack of defensive effort on Fran's teams.

Saying we held a team to 38 points in a half is more reflective of how that team is shooting vs how well we're defending.

Same with a 51 point half or a game like Purdue. You can say they were just shooting lights out and leave it at that, but that's more than partly because we stand around and let teams get wide open looks.

Sure but this team is still better than most weve had on D. We are never going to be a lock down D team with Fran but its way more fun to watch than Lickliters teams lol

I thought Lickliter was a good hire back then. Man I was way off on that prediction.

Minnesota favored by a point vs Maryland... What am I missing here? I get that road games in the Big 10 are no picnic, but just seems like Maryland should be good here...

Tempted to run out to the sports book and put a hundred on it...

MD +1.5
Nova -8.5
UNI -9.5
St Bonnie straight
Florida straight
Penn St -2

100 pays 1301

Gophers hitting shots again which is nice to see. Gonna need that the rest of the way.

but my god does Maryland look awful. LIterally cannot make anything. 10 missed brick 3s, they have biffed about 4 layups/tap ins. And Jalen Smith has 3 fouls(weak tho)

 

[ericd7633]

Holy shit what a half. Seriously might be the best half they've played this century. Let's see what the 2nd half brings.

 

[ericd7633]

Thankfully Demir picked up his 3rd so Pitino was forced to pull him. Why is he playing?

Pitino is a moron.

We are really lucky Maryland cannot hit a 3 to save their life.

And lucky Smith picked up 3 fouls. Not sure why we haven't tried to pick up his 4th at any point this half? Gotta hope they keep missing because I have a feeling we are going to pucker up here real quick.

 

[rmilia1]

If Maryland loses this one theres a real shot 13-7 wins the B10. MD would have 5 losses but still road games at Rutgers and Michigan and a home game vs MSU. If they lose the road games and win the home game 13-7 is going to win it. Cant see any of the other 6 loss teams winning out given the schedules

Carr starting to wilt against the length.

And yeah we shoulda attacked Smith. They are grooving with him in. Completely different team.

Luckily, they still can't shoot.

 

[jontaejones]

That Carr kid commits some of the worst turnovers I've seen ... shit I used to do when I played rec ball.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Not sure ive seen this many missed open shots by a team but I'll take it. Gophs season still alive even if its barely.

Demir fouls out tho. Fuck is he bad.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

WOW another down and out wide open 3

 

[ericd7633]

Here comes the choke job just like the Iowa game. Can Pitino use a TO to get a breather for everyone? Carr gassed again.
