Is this game being televised?

Big10 network.

This Purdue Georgia St game has the potential to go until 9:30

9:10. Not too bad.

Just so much more fun to watch. Amazing start

So, far; so, good....  Our bigs need to stop "hacking" down when blocking shots.  The Gophers' bigs are going up wild, as they're worried about their shots being blocked.  Just maintain our position, and we'll get the block or they'll force up wild shots.

Ponds and LoVett are continuing where they left out.  I see Ahmed is getting into his groove, per stroking it from downtown. 

Ponds is like Bootsy Thornton on the boards....  Crafty, sneaky, slithery, and smooth. 

Ponds is going to be special

We're settling for too many jumpers now. 

Bashir is killing us. Enough with the hero ball. This isn't Juco anymore

Porous D on the last couple possessions.

Bashir is killing us. Enough with the hero ball. This isn't Juco anymore

Starting to think Ahmed isn't a Big East player

they are having trouble defending ponds/lovett. they can dribble drive at will.

Too much one-on-one going for us.

Ahmed is our new Durand Johnson

Get Ellison out the game.  Looks like he's trying to audition for the "Association."  Taking too many shots.

ellison still doesnt finish strong.

We're doing a terrible job getting back on defense.  Once again, there is too much "Me" ball going on.

Johnnies very careless with the ball tonight.

Ellison needs to sit.

We haven't run an offensive set since 2000

Ellison should be done for the day. That was awful

I'm not impressed with Minnesota, but we're playing horribly right now.  Too much individual ball has allowed Minnesota to get back into it.  I think this is part of Mullin's NBA-style.  It's good to play that style when you have NBA-level talent across the board.  Unfortunately, we don't have that kinda talent.

Ellison is garbage. One of the worst defenders I've seen at this level.
