Purdue struggling early.

Minnesota up 13, 26-13

One of Minnesota’s players just dropped the N word. Every word is caught on mic these games.

Minnesota up 5 after the half. A couple mistakes at the end of the half let Purdue get back into it.

Fouled a three point shooter, bad call by the refs, didn’t see any contact.

Technical called on player.

5 points given to Purdue to end the half.

Who am I rooting for in this game? The team right in front of us or the team right behind us?

I think absent any affinity toward either team, we want the team we play twice to beat the team we play once, right? Unless this is going to be what determines whether Purdue is Q1 or Q2.

Announcers said sorry for the language, and the player should apologize. I am surprised no technical was called. It was clear.
Because that stuff is said a lot more than you think during basketball and football games.

I can't imagine that's even supposed to be T'd in this day and age (talking last 20-25 years here)

You’d probably have to call a technical on every other possession.

That’s sad. I played HS basketball for 4 years and never once heard it said. And that was in the 1970s. This day and age, I would be shocked at your assertion.

Sadly it's use is more acceptable now by certain people in society.
Don't want to start a political discsussion so I'll leave it at that.

Pickup games on the playground. Not organized televised games.

Painter doing a great job with this team. If it wasn’t for Howard at Michigan, Painter would be getting a lot of votes.

This loss will make Minnesota 0-5 on the road.
L- @ Illinois by 27, @Wisc by 12, @UM by 25, @Iowa 15, @ Purdue by 19
5 left @ RU, @ Md., @ Indiana, @ PSU and makeup @Nebraska

Minnesota could be 0-9 Road, with @ Nebraska a possible Road win. I'm not worried about Minnesota. Minnesota(11-1 Home, lost at home, Md. 49-63) might not finish above .500., they have Purdue, Illinois and RU at home left, with NW and Nebraska.

Almost positive it was shouted out during our game vs. MSU. I actually was watching with my wife and son and said "did you hear that?" but they had their heads buried in their phones at the time.

Not sure about the N word, but I've caught Ron saying "Gimme that sh#t" on a nice block 2 or 3 times this season and it always makes me smile, ha.

Carr is Minnesota best player and he was missing in action hardly taking any shots in the second half.Purdue has a outstanding head coach who was able to easily win this game without their best 3 point shooter out with covid quarantine.

Carr is a volume shooter, he scores a lot, but if schemed against or against top defenders he disappears

A lot of strange games in the league this year. Teams looking great for the first half and then disappearing entirely in the second half. Some of it is scheme and adjustments. But there is still too much dependence on the three-point shot, especially considering the number of quality big men in the B1G this year. Thank God the powers-that-be haven't let themselves be talked into an NBA 24 seconds on the shot clock, or we'd be watching even more desperation 25-footers being chucked up.

And playing for the last shot is becoming a lost art. Now it basically consists of a team's best guard dribbling about 15 seconds off the clock, then lunging toward the basket with about 7 seconds left and tossing up a contested floater. C'mon coaches, a lot of you are making big bucks. You can do better.
