"Limit Carr's opportunities" should have been #1 on the game plan. Especially after our first matchup. That's not working out so far.

Digging a hole early. Need to stop the bleeding before this one gets out of hand.

I guess so!

 

Yikes!

[atskooc]

Eight turnovers at this point ain’t good.

Carr might break the Gophers scoring record...

If I recall, he had 21 points in 19 minutes the last time we played them.

Dude is beating us himself.

This is an ugly lead with 6 minutes to go in the 1st. Feels like we're losing. But I'll take it. Don't think it's enough to win without making some adjustments.

Put 4 guys on Carr and one underneath the basket.  

[brfrad]

Grab the f'in ball!!

You know yer old when you can remember Jamaal Mashburn “Sr” playing with the Dallas Mavericks.

[atskooc]

Poopy

10 turnovers. Still not too late to start chucking them from half court.

[hhcmatt]

nobody misses dunks quite like Trey McGowens

[HuskerFever]

There's a lot to be desired in that first half. But I'm feeling okay about this.

 

Minnesota has a very small bench at this point in the season, each of which score very little. So if Minnesota gets tired, we've got a chance to exploit that.

[throwback]

We had waaaaay more dead ball turnovers than live ball turnovers.

 

Progress!

[brfrad]

The refs were doing decent job until the charge call on Trey and the foul call on Banton.  Trey does what Carr does when he drives and they swallow the whistle every time.

[Bugeaters1]

Well we have the lead.

If anyone’s drinking for every offensive rebound Minnesota gets I hope your still alive after the possession after the 4 minute time out. 

[hhcmatt]

we've been Jess Settles on HD bad in hanging on to the ball

The block/charge call is so inconsistent it drives me crazy. There’s no way to coach it because it’s a toss up how a given ref will call it. I hate it.

"Gophers missed 16 of their last 17 shots" and still got 31 points and only down 2??
