It's a bad loss from the context of you can't shoot that great and lose the fucking game decisively. Just awful fucking defense. FFS you would think that Domask was Michael Jordan. Fucking get in front of him and play defense.

Last night was a big opportunity and they donated the game away in their end of the court.

In the last quarter century only once in NCAA men's/women's basketball, the NBA and the WNBA has a team has scored 95+, shot 70% or better from 3 and recorded 5 or less turnovers and lost.

Guess which team just did that.

It was Glen Mason like. I don't know how many times a team has rushed for 400 yards and lost in the history of college football, but I'd bet my paycheck it's less than 10 times. He managed to pull that off twice.

What a shame.

Rest of the way:
Penn St (Home)
Indiana (Home)
Northwestern (Away)

If they win out:
Conf (11-9)
Overall (20-11)

Since the B10 is down this year, I think they'd need to win out AND win 2 in the B10 tournament to make it to the dance.

It really could! NW lost their best player last week (Ty Berry).

I'm pleasantly surprised they put themselves in this position where they have a shot at the dance. No one expected it.

One game at a time.

Remember, this is a team that only won two games in the Big Ten last year. Really nice win today after the comeback and they got their ninth win in the Big Ten

Should be 20-9 (10-8) with a decent chance to be 12-8 in the conference.
Not having Carrington today hurt a team that's already thin.
Iowa winning today didn't help.

Yep, sucks the big ten is down in general otherwise some of the wins might mean something more... and not having a good non conference win or two hurts.

Big game tonight.

Heard this recently on a random ESPN sports talk show that Gophers have the best record against the spread in the country. I think they'll cover the -5.5 tonight for the last home game of the season. LFG

that was ugly. game turned late first when we missed 4 threes in a row and they went on a run, and then we missed another 11 in a row after that for good measure.

The upper deck was mostly empty.

I never really thought they had much of a chance of getting in anytime this season.

Cute little run with the B10 really down.

Another complete dud.
Who had a more embarrassing, incompetent end to their season: Gopher football or basketball?
