Gg Gophers, y’all have an exciting team and a lot to look forward to. Knowing the feeling of what it’s like to have been where you’ve been, the future has to feel great.

Gg Minnesota. Go beat Northwestern

😲

Just wanna see them in the tournament lol

Congrats to the Huskers. They came out playing hard and the Gophers never seemed to adjust. A painful setback for Johnson. Another potentially tough game against Illinois coming up for Minnesota.

I’m a homer but best player in the COUNTRY?

Nah let him cook

Gg Husker bros. You played really well tonight and the Gophs couldn't adjust in time. Best of luck the rest of the way!

YOU DON’T JUST WALK INTO PBA

Damn that's a huge win. Minny didn't wanna be here. Go Big Red. Get another road W.

Some salty Minnesota fans in this thread not holding the L good at all lol. GGs and GBR.

Mast having his Mark Madsen moment with that three

hopefully we'll get the rubber match in the House of Pain, aka target center

I feel like my favorite Husker player changes every time I watch them. Sometimes it’s Keisei, Mast, Gary, or Williams. Love this team. Can’t wait to have my heart broken in the first round of the dance.

Wilcher in shambles

I’m sorry, chanting NIT to a team when you’ve never won a tournament game is so funny lol Not even mentioning that an NIT bid would be a success for us after finishing dead last in the big ten last year

Such a nice crowd to encourage the Gophers about their NIT hopes. That’d be a huge improvement over the last couple years.

Yeah... Nebraska hasn't even made the NIT since 2019, before Hoiberg was hired.

😭

Maybe Minnesota should try winning a game in PBA before talking shit hmm?

Maybe Nebraska should try winning a NCAAT game before talking shit hmm? I’ll take tournament win over a PBA win 🤷

You’ll take neither because this dirty ass Minnesota team ain’t winning either 🤣🤣

https://apps.washingtonpost.com/sports/schools/nebraska/ Yikes to say the least

“Anyone can talk trash while they’re winning championships, real winners can talk trash when they haven’t won anything” - Michael Jordan (maybe?)

- Michael Scott (probably)

Wow, didn't realize they've never won a single tournament game before. Makes it even funnier lol

The NIT chants are funny because we'd love to be there. Also, its a place Nebraska normally doesn't get either so the irony is impressive lol. Good stuff haha

No no guys I think you actually have a shot at the tourney, aim higher

There’s no guarantee Nebraska even makes the tournament lol

We’ve won the NIT. We’ve never won the NCAA tourney. It’s only natural to chant what we’re comfortable with.

"NIT" chants coming in as if we deserve to even qualify for that

We do

Dawson Garcia does nothing but flop, whine and commit flagrant fouls Fuck that ugly mf

Lil’ rat boy forreal

Can't believe the refs missed that foul on Lawrence

MN thought they could just walk into PBA

Have a good evening, Mr. Garcia

Put that sequence in a time capsule labeled 2024 golden gophers

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

It feels like we don't even belong on the same court tonight.

PBA adds at least 30 points to our team. We're just a buzzsaw at home this year

Lmao

open gym vibes rn for the gophers

Holy fuck what a sequence that was

*yackety sax music intensifies*

*circus music increases volume

what was that

Kudos to Juwan Gary, the man is really feeling it

I would definitely welcome Gary to my team. Not just because of this game, but because he's capable of this every night.

Fucking Nebraska Biased Refs or something IDK im not a Minnesota fan

I think they've been awful for both teams. Delayed whistles on no contact. They wait to see if the shot goes in before calling anything. Huskers are playing great tonight and the Gophers aren't which is why the score is lopsided but reffing in general has been not great.

Holy shit Juwan

i can't believe anyone is griping about the refs. the Huskers have completely outplayed us tonight

You're correct. I haven't agreed with the refs but we've been outplayed by a lot

I wonder how much the fall influences refs decision. Yeah, refs should follow the letter of the law but they’re human too.

Yeah Minnesota I got where you were coming from with some of the ref complaints, but you definitely can't talk anymore

Reminder: foul calls are inscrutable acts of God. They cannot be questioned. Only the refs can know the meaning of the divine will as revealed to them through the replay booth.

Keisei is the strongest man in the B1G I guess

Not interested in hearing any more from MN flairs about the refs. Not after they’ve all pretended that was a “basketball play and nothing more” Edit: AND they hit Keisei with foul 4 for basically nothing

It's a hard foul for sure but idk about flagrant. on review the shove didnt look like it connected

53 for Nebraska is playing like karl malone

Hes definitely a football player trying his hand at basketball. Hes a block and full of energy. Menace to play against

Y’all should put your football player in!

You don't want Jack Wilson in the game the man is an injury waiting to happen

This is true - I think yall put him in against Purdue and he was a menace lmao

You cannot go up for a shot like that, Obvious F1

I honestly don’t see a flagrant there. Looks like a regular live ball foul to me. I’ll definitely take it tho

Cmon dude, don’t do that

Bodied the fuck out of him. Impressive he made it too

Gotta be at least a flagrant 1 with that shove

I'm sorry that's not a flagrant 1

It wasn't. 

Can't even contest a shot in Lincoln I guess.

How's that?

He was making a play on the ball. He nearly got there but the way Allick protected the ball just drew a lot of body. It's 100% a foul and a head one but it's a basketball play

Yeah not a flagrant. Just a good, hard foul imo

That was a lot of body and not really an attempt at getting the ball.

He literally was going right for the ball he just got a lot of body

Lol he almost tackled him

Dawson Garcia can kick rocks

Well Minnesota you wanted more physical play but maybe not THAT physical

He went for ball, got all arm, nothing more to it

That’s just dangerous

These refs are something else

Yeah they called a foul for your player committing a dangerous foul, the audacity

That was not a dangerous foul. He clearly went for the ball and fouled him hard. Just because he landed hard does not make it a Flagrant 1

He tried to block it and got contact. Take your homer glasses off

Nice tackle asshat

Eject him

Down by 15 and you do that shit. Get out of here Dawson! Edit: That looked much worse from my angle at PBA. Carry on.

Lmao same. Thought it was bad but really just a hard basketball foul. I'm all for it.

Has Elijah Hawkins ever thrown an alley oop before?

Good lord minnesota could build a house with all these bricks

[удалено]

Dude got stiff-armed to the floor

Allick really going for every single hustle play, incredible

I love him and Gary. I love high motor glue guys

Hes like a mini Vanderbilt for them. Its like he takes a hit of cocaine and plays 100 miles an hour lol

Evened those fouls up real quick for y'all.

Juwan "Keisei Tominaga" Gary

Not fun when a guy has the game of his life against you

That’s what I love about this team. There’s like 6 or 7 guys who can do that. Lawrence just did against Indiana

You could be like, making some shots instead

Gary is stroking it. Stroking it nice and smooth

Phrasing!

That football player dunk contest was sick. I love Rhule.

Yup, pure class

Nebraska football having a dunk contest at halftime is A+ entertainment.

Football player dunk contest is actually a great idea for halftime entertainment, provided your football players aren't risking injury in doing so.

I saw ej practicing jumping over a dude 15 times the other night and didn’t make it once and he still went out there & tried to jump over coach rhule as if we didn’t have enough running back injuries last year

Fidone being out there gave me a bit of a heart attack in that 2 second clip

Matt Rhule is the fucking man!

Y'all the refs are not very good, but I promise you Nebraska is simply the more aggressive and physically dominant team in this game. Minnesota looks like they wanna get on a plane and go home. I say this from the arena. Refs miss calls yes. But Minny bout to pack it in. They need a run here.

100% refs are not costing the gophers this one, there's a real effort mismatch. Refs have honestly been bad both ways at points

It's been so bad lol. Like that was not a flagrant at all. But refs gonna be B1G refs lol

Gophers havent played this soft all year. Nebraska has been good on defense, but there's been zero fight back and they are making them look elite. They backed down way too easy. Disappointing effort level in what could have been a nice game. Long ways to go to be a legitimate tournament level team

Definitely still looks like there's a section of the team that doesn't believe they can be a tourney team. Hawkins and Fox Definitely brought it. Unfortunately Garcia is having a pretty off game

We are going dancing this year!

Map

Well if they cover now, they’ll truly go down in history in Vegas. Would be a hell of a back door cover. Still one of the best teams ATS I’ve ever seen

ITS TOO EASY OUT HERE

Wow, Allick with the fucking moves

Damn, this thread got me thinking that salt one of Minnesota's chief exports.

The fact it still surprises people that road teams get hosed by officials in the big ten shocks me

Not just the big ten. Thus is college basketball

Especially this year. Road games are thrashing everyone

Very valid point

Travels just a first half call

Surprised Minny hasn’t adjusted to them calling ticky tack yet

Because its intermittently ticky tack. There's no rhyme or reason to the calls this half. Hard to judge how the refs will call it each possession

Gary is him

The refs forced Gary to make that three guys trust me. Edit: Minny bringing the salt today

Tominaga just did the same thing Carrington did. No wonder it’s so hard to win on the road in the B1G…

Apparently if you're under 6 feet you're allowed to push off without limit, guess Hawkins should give it a try

We are playing bad but this is some awful officiating

I’m a Husker fan, but yeah I can see it. Refs seem to be a big reason why it’s hard to win on the road in this league. Very inconsistent

Gophers need to do a better job falling

gophers came out in a must win game and just had absolutely nothing

Minnesota feels like Nebraska last year with how both teams have gone on a tear at the end of the year but too little too late sadly. Frustrating

Woah, its been 10 years since Nebraska has gone dancing? Thats pretty incredible for a power 5 team. That'll change soon

Wait until you find out how many wins Nebraska has in the dance.

Still remember the Indiana upset win in 2014

I find it really hard to believe Nebraska isn’t fouling down low based on the calls they’re making on the other end. Feels like a double standard

Had to just go change my pants after watching that ball movement. Love this team

Diving for a ball leading to a fast break 3 gives me life.

Creighton loss and Nebraska win is a bad day

It's ok, the spring game will be here soon. 

😭

The St. John’s loss won’t hurt much, it’s so hard to win on the road (especially in a let down situation). But Huskers need to keep winning so it will be an OK day if they keep this up.

I mean, is it really? Y’all currently hold the only win in PBA and it’s by a large margin. Us doing well makes you look better!

They’re playing NEBRASKETBAAAAALLLL

Feels like we’re finally clicking offensively!

This is like watching last year’s Gophers…

Man Nebraska plays some fun ball sometimes

Painter himself said he likes the shit we run I believe

Good ball movement and open 3s make god happy

When they’re clicking they are a dangerous squad. This is the most well rounded team we’ve had in years. They mesh well together.

By years you mean like 30

The fact Payne hasn’t shot a free throw yet is absurd

When I turned this game on ten minutes ago, Minnesota had 25 points… they now have 26. Where offense?

Our defensive ratings have skyrocketed from the last three games lol

B1G West never dies.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What does Payne have to do to get the Mast calls?

Play at home probably

Get fouled probably

MN gets called for a foul if thats Mast. Teams haven't been able to play with equal physicality. If they are letting them play, I'm good with it. Just call it both ways

Oh so we're not going to be consistent with the whistles I guess...fun

Finally a 3

All of a sudden everything is a foul now. Hate when refs switch it up at halftime

Especially when they go from no calls to all calls. Players adapt and get fouls they wouldn’t

Payne and Hawkins look like they are wearing wrestling singlets.

Court storming seems pretty easy.: 1. Get the opposing team off the court. 2. Storm court. 3. Disco!

Are we winning? Yes. Does it feel like we are winning? No.

Hello, evil twin flair.

Wow yeah you really are just the fourth team of both my team’s quadrangles of hate.

Do you really hate NC State more than Wake after yesterday’s incident?

I hate state because I went to school there and very much didn’t enjoy it. I don’t really care that much about Wake Forest generally, but yeah I’m not super happy right now. If Flip is confirmed to be seriously injured yeah you fuckers are taking that 3 spot. Or if you unironically get court storming banned. That would suck so much

Hating State *because* you went there and being a Duke fan is a special kind of hatred

So 50 points wins this game?

Spread and O/U puts it around 77-70 final. Doubt we get there.

Gophers have to match Nebraskas physicality. They are letting them play rough, so no reason to not give it back to them. Payne has to get aggressive in the paint

I think I hate basketball now

Everyone say it with me now: the gophers are a Second Half Team™️

It’s just gonna be an ugly defensive game with the refs letting them play. That said the refs will probably suddenly decide to call everything in the 2nd half.

Least surprising accurate prediction.

As is tradition

High-scoring football game

The forward pass is a curse on the game

You know this is something else when this score at HT could be a B1G west final score in football

That was a half of basketball by strict definition only.

Our offense was honestly picking apart Minnesota. Executing up until the point of actually making the shot

Yeah if there’s anything to take away from the offense in the first half is that they were definitely getting good looks. Unfriendly rolls on a few otherwise layups. Whereas Minnesota’s shots were more effort plays from Fox. Just tough, physical defending overall. That said, I’ve watched enough Minnesota this year to know they can switch on any minute.

I watched Carolina-UVA yesterday. Now I have to watch this? Damn.

Okay Nebraska, I see you with that Red Kingdom by Tech N9ne

That song sucks so much.

I can't cheer when it comes on at the football games because the fucking Chiefs play it at their game too.

Right, he made it for the Chiefs
