B10 Basketball Open Thread
Neb @ Purdue
Sparty @ Minn
NCISU?? @ IU
Looks like an easy home win for Purdue a few days before they come to Crisler. OTOH, Hummel looks like he's in the zone. OTOOH, it's Neb.
Sparty has about a 20-25% chance to lose at the Barn, I assume. GO GOPHERS
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
can someone give a recap of the game? I was away.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:35 PM ^
Minnesota essentially dominant until about 5 minutes left (largest lead around 10). Have turned it over repeatedly since including a bunch of awful passes that led to fast break points.
February 23rd, 2012 at 6:36 AM ^
12 to 1 TO margin (Minn vs MSU)....in the seconds half...seemed like they were all in the last 5 min where MSU essentially went on what seemed like a 12 point run
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
terrible, terrible foul
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
Minny should go for the win. They stand no chance in OT.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
Wow classic chock job, I'm guessing an ugly heave here to lose. Just ugly, ugly, ugly last 5 minutes by Minny.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
So what was that. 4 consecutive turnovers on offense and a foul at the top of the three point line with 3 seconds left on the shot clock?
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^
Minnesota is an extremely flawed team. no PG play. no interior play besides sampson
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
Sure, MSU plays good defense. But Minnesota is a team full of guys scared to shoot. They stand around for 25 second. Nobody moves to the ball. Then somebody chucks it up. Their passing/ballhandling is awful. This is a poorly coached team.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:35 PM ^
Minnesota needs heimlich maneuver because theyre choking. Please just make a 3 and win it.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:35 PM ^
Granted, this would be just be gravy, since we all were expecting MSU's loss to come next week, but come on Minnesota . . . this is just pathetic.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
shocker
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
Lol really!? A contested 3 with 20 seconds left? What a joke of a program.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
That can't be the way they drew that up in the huddle.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
That entire last two minutes by minnesota was GARBAGE
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:36 PM ^
Why in the HELL would you shoot that? Have 20 seconds in the game and no shot clock. Awful, awful, awful, decision.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:37 PM ^
Wow. Sparty is playing great defense, but that shot was just terrible with 20 seconds left.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:37 PM ^
lol, a fitting end to an amazing choke job my Minn.
State played solid D, tho no question. Why didn't tubby put sampson in earlier?
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:37 PM ^
got on their knees and blew this game
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
4 straight possessions, and not once did a shot even touch the rim.. That is taking choking to a whole new level
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
Hah, wow I don't even know what to say anymore....
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
They needed to hit one shot down the stretch. Tubby being Tubby.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
This is probably the worst finish I have ever seen.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
I am so disappointed I watched this game.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
Worst two minutes of basketball I've ever seen.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
Wow Minny is bad at executing. They should've won this game. Shame.
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:45 PM ^
Ya, but we could say the same about Northwestern yesterday. We got lucky it went to OT and then ran away with it. NW had many chances to win that game and just couldn't get it done.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
Way to go Minnesota. What a pathetic showing in the last two minutes.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
Lmao. 6 straight turnovers now? Go screw yourself Minnesota. If State wins out and we don't get a big ten championship from it, I will hate Minnesota for the rest of my life.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
I would much rather Minny get blown out then tease me like this.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
but the espn play by play says Minnesota last scored with 3:27 left in the half. That won't win many close games
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
NOW THEY MAKE A FUCKING 3?!?!
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
Fuck Minnesota! Get ready for another 58-0 ass kicking on the football field you scrubs.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
Fitting...A 3 when it doesn't matter anymore.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
Well, now I know how MSU fans felt last night.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
Tubby Smith is an awful coach. Only a team that he coached could look like this late in the game. It is baffling how that guy won a national title. And what is up with that bow tie? He looks like the black colonel sanders
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:43 PM ^
I can't believe he won a national title. His team is just horrible at the fundamentals.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:40 PM ^
At least Minny went down in style with those sharp bow ties.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:41 PM ^
That's how you pad the stats in the garbage time. You couldn't shoot that when it would have had an effect on the game.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^
They'll lose at Indiana and maybe against Ohio State. We'll get at least a share of the big ten championship.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^
What's really annoying is that Minnesota teased us like that, pretending for about 37 minutes that they weren't actually Minnesota.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^
Holy choke job...
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:43 PM ^
And now some sweet sweet IU vs NCCU action! Super Wednesday!
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
High Five!
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:44 PM ^
Next year, make it 72-0. I've never hated Minnesota more. Run it up, Hoke!!
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:56 PM ^
