Should you give a Gopher any mercy on X-Mass Game thread

So, did Santa bring everything ya'll wanted?

OK, this is what separates the contenders from the bums.

We played like shit, but hung in, got a key stop on the last possesion, and lo and behold were only down five.

It feels like we should be down fifteen.

Bohannon with a good play, fouling when we had one to give. It made Minnesota reset. It worked.

I’m pissed we were ever rated so high, any Hawk fan knew this team would shit the bed

 

[chucktownhawk]

Does Fran tell guys to just let them shoot threes? I’ve never seen teams so consistently bad at perimeter defense. We will still win this but it shouldn’t be this close.

I swear to God, we are either not on them, or they drive right past our exterior D. That 3 point line seems to be nothing anymore

Can fran ask refs to look at the eye gouge? It obviously was above the shoulder

I've seen too many Fran Swoons to ever get my hopes too high.

 

[chucktownhawk]

Good time to piss and forget this shit. It's gonna be a last possession, off balance, time expired, kind of game. I fucking hate these games

That he should, I agree

Defense is mostly desire. I'm not sure you can change a teams desire at halftime. You either want to play D on a given night or you don't.

They need to go with a 3-2 zone to protect the perimeter in the second half. Minnesota doesn't have any low post threats aside from Robbins.

 

[hawk52]

Looked like Iowa came out early to practice 3s

 

[chucktownhawk]

We need to fucking move our God damn feet and rebound the ball. Totally out hustled.....sick of this terrible perimeter defense

Only asked for 1 thing... And Iowa has to outscore MN by 6 in the 2nd half for me to get it. Still optimistic Santa will come through.

 

[hawk52]

This game will be decided in the first 5- 7minutes of this half.

Mr. Davis's famous 1987 team frequently trailed at the half.

Look it up.

 

[WindsorHawk]

I finally figured out the one guy that can stop Luka Garza...Luka Garza.

 

[hawk52]

Job non existent...Same for Garza. I think they both come through second half

Look it up.

How many of us remember the infamous comeback at Illinois? Classic

 

[chucktownhawk]

CJF, where are you bro?
