Triple double for the bullfrog. 5 in a row. LFG.

MINN 62

 

[cicero grimes]

64-62 rutgers. If the game gets into the 70's I don't like out chances.

 

[RuBird]

RU 73
Minny 67

Big lead in the second half. Minny chips away. Few of us white knuckled until J Williams hits a huge 3 to seal the deal.

Anyone have anything on Mag for today?

 

[gregkoko]

We win another close one IF Cliff stays out of foul trouble. Minnesota draws a bunch of fouls and are great at finishing around the rim. Luckily they're almost as bad as us at the charity stripe. They give up a bunch of offensive rebounds which bodes well for Rutgers. Lord knows we need those second chance points. They cough up the ball a ton.

I don't want to trivialize this tragic story by mixing it up with Basketball:

2 police officers and 1 firefighter killed responding to a domestic incident outside Minneapolis, governor says

https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/18/us/burnsville-minnesota-officers-shooting

Still, I can see this being a motivating factor for Minnesota. I'm sure it would be for us if this occurred (G-d forbid) in Central NJ.

Now we just need the judge to come in with his Rutgers blow out loss prediction and the thread will be ready for tip off

Very confused. Is there a connection to the Minnesota basketball team here?

I noticed. Thought maybe your account got hacked

The judge had NW scoring 80 something points though so he tried making up for it

I just can't imagine Christie as a skinny freshman is ready to handle JWill. Could easily see him getting in early foul trouble

It happened 15 miles away. Likely there will be a moment of silence before the game. Just my suspicion.

I do not think this will have a significant impact on the basketball game.

Maybe the status of Mag not playing could change odds.

 

[FinalFourOrBust_rivals142702]

Let’s try not to cry about the refs and announcers today. Tough ask I know.

I hope not. Things like that can be used to motivate and focus teams.

Seems like a stretch to say this will motivate MN. Your talking ground zero for defund the police movement

Minnesota's last 4

L - 76-84 @Purdue
L - 85-90 @Iowa
W - 59-56 v MSU
W - 75-66 v NW

No real big wins this year. Losses to MSU and OSU. As well as San Fran. They score a lot and let up a lot. If we win, we win with a score in the low 60s. They score 65+ and we lose given our offensive disabilities.

They've only scored sub 65 points this year 4 times and are 1-3.
