U of Minnesota Game Thread

Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

I'd like to see us compete tonight. Minnesota will look to push and has a lot more talent inside than we do. I think our swing guys can hang with theres. The Gophs will miss Hofarber and we need to take advantage of his absence.

Jacks are going to have to shoot the lights out and keep the turnovers under 15 to have a chance.

I think that the Jacks will play well this evening. Will it be enough to win? That is hard to say. But, I think that they do play a little more loose on the road. I think that the pressure that they, especially Kai, put on themselves at home is immense. Especially considering the DII success and the successes of WBB, soccer, volleyball, and the football team.

Heck, a win tonight would go a long way to improving relations at the reabbit den I think.

Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

Maybe it's just a hangover from last night's women's bb win, but I've got a bit of a good feeling about tonight's game . . .

Minnesota just might be looking ahead to Louisville . . . the team (and especially Kai) was pretty upset I think with how they played against Oral Roberts and will be looking to erase that bad taste. I think Minnesota will get the Rabbits' best shot. We'll just have to see if that's good enough.

Jacks fans . . . allow yourself the guilty pleasure of imagining a Jackrabbit win tonight . . . it will be a sizeable upset, but (and I'm not really a new-age kinda guy) it couldn't hurt to start sending out the good vibes towards the guys for tonight.

Om . . . . Om . . . . Om . . . .

Does anybody know if Cubbies will get this game?

For sure...it is on the Big 10 Network which I know Cubbys has.

Re: U of Minnesota Game Thread

The Jackrabbits played the Gophers very tough last year and were just a couple of clutch plays short of a victory. The Jacks will have to play an even better game this year (and stop Colton Iverson) to stay in it this year and have a shot at the upset. Go, Jacks.

Since it hasn't been started and I wanted to post this....

A couple players won't be playing Wednesday because of injuries according to the Star Tribune. Seems to me SDSU may be overlooked quite a bit as they are looking forward to Louisville.
