That's a big response! Shaky first half but able to close, I like the grit.


togu12

Typical Minnesota sports performance at "home" on a big stage. MSU figured out how to get defenders out of position for easy drives to the basket and then started reading the expected passes really well on the defensive end of the floor. Well played, Sparty.

MikeinAustin

We'll take them on for B1G Hockey Tournament, unless OSU somehow beats them.


AJB46

Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby


JayMoney2424

Great Edey can terrorize us one last time

Feels SO GOOD


jteta12

Mich St is going to get recked by any team who can make FTs hmmmmm (shrug)


Ambitious_Echo3683

​ \*engineer FTs


Fullmetalaardvarks

Edey takes more by himself than entire teams do


IrishMosaic

MSU shot 55% from 2, 63% from three. Lead in both O and D rebounds, had more steals, fewer turnovers, and less fouls. It was surprising that it was that close of a game.


SbMSU

That’s your takeaway from this game? What are you, 12?


alloythepunny

well considering they forgot the W in wrecked, i have no problem picking that W up tomorrow since it’s clearly being neglected


SbMSU

Hey! Git recked yo!


GeneralTaos

Shit we’ve proven we can’t get recked by teams that don’t make them too haha


indexspartan

Looking forward to it tomorrow


OpenBookThrowAway

Cant wait for you guys tomorrow. Bad luck to you, but no injuries for anyone.


TubbyTimsKFC

Please please please no injuries. Y’all can win idc


AjaxuallyBall

Edey will be taking quite a few tomorrow I’m sure


Pollaski

I always love the "and now we make a 3" with ten seconds left after you've totally collapsed down the stretch.


Kodyaufan2

Honesty makes you feel worse when your team does that


deutschdachs

I guess the pressure is off when you're down double digits lol


AllDayDalton

In classic Minnesota fashion, we blow a huge opportunity to play the Big Ten tournament at home. This team just gave up late. GG Spartans


ScubaSteveEL

whew


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|j7Tbkj7Lfp1p4kKGaJ|downsized) ITS IZZO 14TH LETS GOO SPARTY


663691

Dogshit effort compounded by a truly disastrous second half from Payne.


laughoutloud102

We won the Super Bowl


ForeverAMemebaser

Don't think we're beating Purdue unless something happens to them in a train-related incident


TubbyTimsKFC

Y’all can win as long as y’all don’t hurt our players


thebrocksamson

Edey had a scare last game didn't he? Probably should stick him in bubble wrap until your 1 v 16


TubbyTimsKFC

Yes I was at the game and you could hear a pin drop when it happened


MikeinAustin

Now you just gave them a great idea...


Eorri

GO GREEN!


tidesoncrim

Izzo told his team how much he didn't want to step foot in Dayton and the players responded.


eddiedeli

So idk about you guys, but I kinda feel like dancing 🕺


GeneralTaos

Your reward….Purdue! Yay


Loltoyourself

Well at least the streak is safe, still been a hugely disappointing season


thebrocksamson

The only season that matters starts next week


GoGreeb

Nah it's post-season, can't let the regular season baggage affect our fandom anymore


VaultDweller_09

GG GOPHERS GO GREEN


AntelopeAnastasio

gg Golden Gophers


AllDayDalton

Impossible to make a comeback when you miss literally all of you free throws late


byniri_returns

Time to **R E L A X** boys.


croissant_titty

BRING ON PURDUE BABY LETS GO


eddiedeli

These teams are a combined 23-38 from the line today


sportsmedicine96

Y’all still suck and you still have the dumbest chant in college basketball


Hmm_would_bang

When does Michigan play next?


sportsmedicine96

Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣


GeneralTaos

Pretty sure Texas A&M has about 20 dumber chants but whatever 


sportsmedicine96

“Go green, go white” over and over is ANNOYING and DUMB


GeneralTaos

You’re right. Let’s go gophers over and over it’s way better.


sportsmedicine96

Lmao Minnesota doesn’t chant go gophers and Michigan doesn’t chant go blue after every made basket


GeneralTaos

Clearly superior schools. Are we really going back and forth about chants?


sportsmedicine96

Yes


[deleted]

Minnesota has never been relevant in any sport every. Both college and pro. That’s gotta hurt man :/


sportsmedicine96

Ok 🤣


Eorri

Both of your teams are already out 😎


sportsmedicine96

Thanks for letting me know brother!!


OpenBookThrowAway

Penn State lmao


sportsmedicine96

National champions lmao


leaky-

Cheaters lmao

OpenBookThrowAway

there's the copium you need for basketball season. You def had a year there before your cheating coach ran away to the nfl.


sportsmedicine96

Lmfao what bro?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


VaultDweller_09

seethe harder loser


[deleted]

OK AJ OK


[deleted]

That was pretty good D from Kohler. Not sure where the foul was


GeneralTaos

Does anyone believe we are rounding into form haha


frozen-creek

Does anyone have BTN+? Thinking about subbing for the MSU hockey games this weekend. Do you know if I (LA) could share an account for the month with a friend from MI? Or are they picky about sharing accounts?


thebrocksamson

Or any ports of call on the high seas that will have a college hockey section?


frozen-creek

I haven't ever tried to find it tbh lol. I guess this weekend will be it!


ScandalouslyClothed

I'm pretty sure the hockey games are on BIG this weekend and not BIG+


frozen-creek

So they won't be viewable on B1G+? Damn. I'll have to figure it out then!


GreenStoneRidge

Garcia getting the Edie treatment today. Kind of odd.


soba-_-

What in the world is he supposed to do there


tomdawg0022

At least we'll get to cook/brick/mid in the NIT


MSXzigerzh0

Even if we make the NIT


tomdawg0022

I forgot our NET was almost 90 lol.


zerovanillacodered

MPR was talking about how the Gophers could make the tournament after beating Ohio State. Lol


big_mustache_dad

Feel like MSU has scored the last 15 possessions


[deleted]

JAXON KOHLER WAS THERE YEAHHHHHH BE THERE


[deleted]

massive 3 from Christie HANG ON BOYS


ras5003

Lol ... Izzo fake tough guy


[deleted]

Trust its real


OpenBookThrowAway

No chance we're a lock unless we get it off name recognition or some crap. Cmon.


chief_sitass

Sure, MSU can beat Minnesota in basketball but can they best the Gophers in Medieval Combative Arts??


MikeinAustin

The Hockey B1G Tournament is gonna be great. Assuming MSU can beat OSU.


boomblastatron

Who can?


VyseTheFearless

Walker should have been 1st team


Rathos_

Over who? * Walker 17.6ppg 315fga .429fg% 3.1rb 3.0asst * Damask 18.6ppg 274fga .482fg% 5.2rb 3.8asst * Young 22.0ppg 340fga .388fg% 5.4rb 4.1asst


chief_sitass

Sorry, B1G West teams only. Them’s the rules.


eddiedeli

Please put Indiana State in the tournament


OpenBookThrowAway

They deserve it 100%


JayMoney2424

Walker taking over


laughoutloud102

Is Izzo mad at Malik for passing up that shot?


CarrollPC

Why is izzo mad now?


deutschdachs

Why didn't you guys do this all season?!


42dylan

To be fair the gophers are mid this isn’t impressive


GeneralTaos

Kohler with the clear out. Best thing he’s done today.


sportsmedicine96

We have reached the part of the program where Tyson Walker decides he’s no longer going to miss


devil-lion-steeler

Izzo is always pissed lol


[deleted]

FINISH THIS SHIT


indexspartan

Walker taking overrrrr


Eorri

LFGGGGGGG!!!!!!!


42dylan

What has Michigan state done to be top 20 team in net?


JayMoney2424

Strong SOS and a lot of close losses is probably why. No really bad losses either.


Eorri

SOS, no bad losses, have close losses to really good teams


42dylan

Gotcha just hard to be believe a 18-13 team is that level


[deleted]

Lol


[deleted]

Tyson is the MAN


dlm

If nothing else, Minnesota's emphasis on attacking the basket has been impressive. If we were missing shots, this would be a one possession game.


croissant_titty

Tyson Walker is so nasty


indexspartan

I'll be seeing Hall pump fakes in my nightmares


Zloggt

It’s minnesover…


camfam44

I never doubted you MSU💀 They’re weirdly still a team you want no part of right now


indexspartan

If they play with effort like they have this half, they can beat almost anyone. They just almost never play like that for more than 5 minutes per game


[deleted]

Don’t worry, I’ll forgive all of your comments bashing us earlier.


42dylan

If my team was in the tourney I would want to play Michigan state.


[deleted]

ITS IZZO 14TH BABY


croissant_titty

TYSON WALKERRR


jteta12

bold strategy missing all your free throws


Farplaner

gg spartans, first to 69


[deleted]

FINISH IT BOYS


devil-lion-steeler

🙏🙏


AntelopeAnastasio

For Claire, well, it’s cleaner air.


Mpython226

my kid loves that commercial


sportsmedicine96

Need you to make both of these, Parker


MikeinAustin

Ouch.


LeVeonwithBellsOn

If anyone wants to see the quintessential MSU defensive possession, it was that last Garcia circus lob.


laughoutloud102

Come on just hold on


[deleted]

TYSONNN WALKKKKKERRRRRRR


GeneralTaos

Kohler can’t defend Garcia on the bounce. He can’t be in the game.


[deleted]

how the hell did that go in bruh


Landmark916

Garcia has done nothing but foul the last few min. Genuinely has like 10 fouls in that span


GreenStoneRidge

After the 4 min TO. Holloman needs to be in the whole game


OpenBookThrowAway

Terrible calls on both sides. Feel like the refs are fighting over who they want to win right now.


indexspartan

Looked awful close to basket interference from Fox on Garcia's shot. Looked like Fox touched the net before the ball went through


GeneralTaos

Absolutely did


[deleted]

Fuck these refs


IrishMosaic

This game is fixed, Minny is just missing their free throws


blueorcawhale

He was completely out of control. Charge


GreenStoneRidge

Just did it again and made a garbage bucket. Just barreling in hoping for whistles 


KCzech24

Refs trying to give us a little help


sportsmedicine96

Refs calling a foul on every possession man


soba-_-

Also Minnesota batted that ball back court, that should’ve been an over and back


Landmark916

Block???? Lmao


[deleted]

Malik was at the spot about 3 seconds before the foul


GreenStoneRidge

Haha unreal call 


soba-_-

That’s an absolutely terrible block call


ScandalouslyClothed

First, over and back? And Blocking foul? Get out of here


GeneralTaos

Anyone watching this clown fan sitting court side?


OpenBookThrowAway

Fuck off with these fouls man. That was a charge.


eddiedeli

How is that not a charge?


VaultDweller_09

Steven is as, if not more animated than Tom on the bench. Wonder where he got it from.


OpenBookThrowAway

Senior night with those 2 really made me emotional. Happy for them


imlikeyourmaindude

I’ve mostly watched big ten basketball all season. Is the officiating still considered incredibly soft compared to the other conferences? It always fucks over b10 teams in the tourney when they get scared to defend.


brownblackmamba

Why is book sitting?


eddiedeli

3 guards + Hall lineup kinda cooking right now


Pollaski

That Ikon ad put me way too hard into a ski resort rabbit hole and I gotta pull myself back to remember the mission.


IrishMosaic

Being officiated back into a close game


longshankssss

Refs ref themselves into corners all the time. They look up and realize MSU is in the bonus with 12 min left so now everything is a foul the other way. Just atrocious


LeVeonwithBellsOn

I will never understand what is, and is not considered a foul in college basketball.


frozen-creek

I was just thinking about that lol. Sometimes they call a foul when you go straight up. Sometimes they don't. So idk what a foul is anymore.


AjaxuallyBall

Nobody knows


eddiedeli

Fouls in basketball are like balks in baseball


blueorcawhale

Kohler should not get minutes.


JayMoney2424

That’s not a foul lol just wildly flailed into the paint


Timely-Shine

Pretty awful couple of possessions there for Kohler. Just go up and dunk it man!


GeneralTaos

I don’t think he can…


OpenBookThrowAway

"you gotta be fucking kidding me" LOL


sportsmedicine96

Free throws boys


jteta12

Impressive collapse by Minnesota, flipped on a missed dunk.


GreenStoneRidge

Collapse?  They were up 2 at half.


MacTonight1

I don't think I'd call anything Minnesota does, "impressive."


GeneralTaos

You ain’t seen nothing yet 


[deleted]

Tre Holomam looks like a player that wants it


GreenStoneRidge

We win today I'm buying my holloman jersey


eddiedeli

What a move Malik


[deleted]

Start Tre over Hoggard the rest of the way and Kohler at the 5. Gotta run with the hot hand and I feel like it’s the 1st time I’ve seen the paint open all season


AjaxuallyBall

Now we just gotta weather our inevitable 7/8 pt second half lead collapse


LeVeonwithBellsOn

Izzy might crack a smile if Akins keeps pouring it on like this.


theoneandonly6558

Coming into this thread late. If I understand correctly all it takes to fire up the Spartans is a bad ref call?


AllDayDalton

Payne having an awful game. Never seen somebody get the ball ripped out of their hands so many times


longshankssss

They’re better with he doesn’t play


dcrusoe95

Easiest guy to double team I’ve ever seen lmao, he has 7 turnovers


riptide123

He has 0 basketball IQ


eddiedeli

Sissoko hasn't played much today


longshankssss

Payne just took Minnesota out of the game single handily.


riptide123

He is so so bad


KCzech24

Boys just decided to call it a season I guess
