Ohio State at Minnesota Jan 3 at 12 noon

I agree and he was forcing them. They could have dropped though and we would be singing a different tune.

Madsen hits both free throws.

OSU 4-4 from the line so far

Right, it was just kinda weird bc I think he had 2 attempts all year.

Our offense seems to have a different gear with PJ in the game. The whole team just seems so much faster. I also like the energy and hustle Madsen and PJ together bring. Matta trying to send a message?

Both teams going cold from the field...

Until Diebs hits a 3!

Energy off the bench... gotta like it.

I like his aggressiveness but Simmons takes some questionable shots.

Enough with the zone! If they can't run it properly then get out of it!

Simmons and PJ have both taken questionable shots. Think they're both trying to earn the position?

Simmons didn't last long last time he was put in the game. PJ was put right back in.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

10 in a row for Minny.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

These refs suck! No interior fouls being called on Minnesota at all.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Minnesota fouled, both free throws good

Minnesota 3

25-22 Gophers

2:52 timeout

 

[bucknutz]

Minn has all the momentum right now. Buckeyes need to settle down.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Minnesota just out hustling Ohio State up the floor right now

they are getting the ball up fast before Ohio States defense has a chance to set

For the most part they aren't playing bad in the zone... with the exception of rebounding (same problem as last year).

Simmons and PJ have both taken questionable shots. Think they're both trying to earn the position?

Definitely. I think Simmons is feeling a bit of pressure after PJ's performance last week. PJ has to know he isn't going to score a bunch of points but he can make things happen as the leader on the court. He's made a couple of nice passes to Madsen and has to cintinue to do that and not turn the ball over.


Minny playing great team ball right now... classic Tubby ball.
