Minny looks so passive and tentative

Plus it might drive Saturday ticket prices down!

I think Lynch has foul trouble as MTS is scoring in the paint at will.
Looks like the first 5-12 takedown on its way.

Minnie in complete meltdown.

Lynch, Murphy, and Curry all have three fouls.

Lynch, Murphy, and Curry all have three fouls.

And aren't they also playing without Springs?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

yes

Here they come with ol Mo!

Mini-scrotum is pooping in their bed. Not good. Should have watched last years tape of the MSU game.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

lol as soon as i type that...

I would imagine playing without your top 3 point shooter and having limited depth would create a huge game plan problem. if behind, they really have no way of playing catch up ball. Their entire game plan and style was affected. I thought UW and Minn should have switched places / seedings , but the NCAA didn't want to send UW Milwaukee. They could have made UW a 5th seed have sent ND to Milwaukee in Minn's pace. and given minn Uw's seeding.

it looks bad for the BIG 10 for minn to lose, but everybody within the BIG 10 felt the NCAA screwed up the seedings.

8-point game with 4 minutes left.....could be interesting finish.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Thanks a million Gophers for validating the Big sucks mantra.

 

[depthcharge623]

I can't believe we lost to these guys. I picked then to win two games! I'm such an idiot.

 

[nagemj02]

I think MTSU is just better than them. Some of the seedings are very misleading relative to the team's overall ability.

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

mid tenn is legit.

 

[nagemj02]

mid tenn is legit.

Yep, they were 30-4 going into this game.

 

[proudopete]

Blue Raiders are legit. The Minny loss was the most confusing for me this year.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Northwestern in a barn burner now with Vanderbilt, up 57-55 with just over 4 minutes left.

 

[Wolegib]

every team in the tourney is legit. if you don't take them seriously, you lose. Just ask any recent Purdue grad. the key to winning is mismatches and location. Also execution and luck help. if Princeton had made that 3, it would be good bye ND. Notre Dame didn't win today, Princeton lost.

I'm sure Kansas playing at Kansas City is pure coincidence and will have no effect on the outcome of their sweet 16 games. .

maybe watching Minn lose will provide some motivation for Purdue to bring their A game tonight !

We've seen one #4 seed squeak by, a #5 lose pretty handily, #4 West Virginia withstood a late rally from Bucknell, #5 UVA won by 5 over UNC Wilmington that was basically neck and neck the whole game, etc.

Some people have brushed Vermont off - none of these 12/13 seeds are teams you should brush off and Vermont is not any different.

Minnesota was a 1 1/2 point underdog at tip time. This loss was not a big surprises at all.
