Minnesota will be dangerous tonight, they desperately need a win. It's going to come down to the wire. Which team do you trust more down the stretch?

If Wisconsin plays like we have been, it should be a fairly easy win against Indiana, but I don't want to count on anything.

Let's be honest the odds the final bid comes down to Minny and Nebraska is like 2%

If Nebraska does what they need to, it won't matter what gophers do tonight. Both can get in.

I'd like their odds better if they can get to 20 wins.

Iowa has had loads of trouble in close games. On the flip side Iowa hasnt lost a game this year to a team the ilk of Minnesota. All the Hawks losses are to top 5/6 seed type teams ( or better ). For some reason the Hawks seem to be playing more focused ball on the road than they have been at home as well. Youre damn right about Minny NEEDING this win though and that always makes a team dangerous.

Good to see you around and posting still. While Minnesota needs this, the way they lost to Ohio State is so crushing. I'm interested to see how both teams come out of the gate, that will tell a lot.

You don't think they can go 3-1 in the final 4 games? I think they'll be favored in 3 of the 4.

LOL

I'm a Nebraska basketball fan, not a Kansas fan.

That's not a shot at Kansas fans by any means.

Iowa's taking some punches early, 27-9 run in Minnesota's favor, putting Minny up by 7 with under 2 minutes in the first half.

Another Gopher Iowa game where defense is optional. But holy shit where has this gopher team been?

People have been wondering how bad Buggs must be if he can't play over Oto. He's killin. Austin finally as a senior.

Sadly, it's not even half time and they are playing Iowa a team they can't stop in 1.5 games.

As bad as the last 8 minutes of that half were for Iowa Im going to guess Minny doesnt shoot 80% the rest of the game like they did the last 8 minutes so Im feeling like we are in OK position.

You could also argue that Iowa shot lots out.

While Iowa is better and still more likely to sustain it. They were not missing for ever either. Especially Marble.

Indiana vs Wisconsin at the top of the hour

Dev is super streaky from outside. He is really about a 33% 3 pt shooter but man he has some games where he is pretty unstoppable. If he is shooting it well from outside there isnt a tougher guy to guard in the league IMO.

Minnesota might be winning, but it's never good when you are shooting 70% from the floor and are 9-11 on 3s at the break, and you are still only winning by 4.

never good? I think anytime you are winning at half time it is good. Sure, my show signs that it won't continue but who the hell knows what happens.

I mean the gophers shot pretty godly against the badgers and it carried all the way through.

Maybe I was wrong.... LOL

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Both teams may be shooting and passing well but...

this defense is atrocious on both sides. It's either foul them or let them score.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Gophers trying to hand this one away now.

 

[BUD]

The Gophers looking like they're going to get the W.. Just might help them get into the Dance with a win over the Hawkeyes..

 

[BUD]

I might have spoke to soon..

Gophers get the W..
