Re: Minnesota Game Thread

Anyone know what Minnesota's outlook is in the Big 10 this year? Are they a top of the league team this season?

Re: Minnesota Game Thread

we have won every game this year when behind at the half.

Re: Minnesota Game Thread

Considering that we played very poorly, down 5 isn't so bad. Look for a better second half. This reminds me of... just about every game we've played outside the Summit this year. Bad half, good half. Prediction: A good half will be good enough to win this.

Also, note that we've played 11 and Minnesota only 8 players. AJ must think we can wear them down a bit.

We can wear um down if the refs would lay off the whistle or call more evenly. with every foul it helps them stop and shoot free throws and catch their breath. Either way I expect a better effort in the second half to win the game.

The only thing I have gained at the halftime report is our pep band is ten times better.

SDSU pushes it up the floor on every rebound possession. I think it usually takes its toll even if there are lots of stoppages of play. Most teams just don't do that. I always enjoy hearing AJ in the background of the radio broadcasts shouting "go, go go" every time we bring it up the floor.

Re: Minnesota Game Thread

As much as I love watching the women play ball, this good cop/bad cop game that they play by the half really concerns me.

What should concern people more is that they only have one loss and haven't played a complete game yet. They will be exciting to watch once they figure it out...

Time for the good half!!!

Go Jacks.

Re: Minnesota Game Thread

Wark and Ketty need to have a better 2nd half. 2 points between them 1-6 shooting.

That's just weird. I have never really understood the appeal of that activity. Stacking cups seems like something they'd do for fun behind the Iron Curtain in the 70s or something.

so we are looking at a tie game and go to the overtime stats which ends in a tie because no ones gone to overtime this year, but we were 2-0 last year.

Re: Minnesota Game Thread

not a good start to the half

[JimmyJack]

Re: Minnesota Game Thread

Two quick buckets and a couple free throws by the Goofs and we're down 11.

Re: Minnesota Game Thread

Not a good start for the 2nd half. Jacks down by 11. Jacks have not played well yet. Another great 2nd half come back for the Jacks. The Gophers have not lost a game they have led at half / YET.
