Hoops In-Game Thread -- Minnesota

Tipoff is at 3 p.m. on BTN.
Something to watch for today -- what Ross Travis, a Minnesota native, is able to do not only on the boards against one of the Big Ten's top rebounding teams, but how Penn State is able to run some offense through him in the low post as it did against Michigan, which created opportunities for Sasa, Newbill and Marshall.
Gophers coming off a big upset win over Indiana on Tuesday and need another win to bolster their NCAA tournament chances.

Interesting dynamic to see how both teams respond to their wins this week.

Julian Welch had 83 points in 27 games coming in ... he has five on the first two possessions after getting the start on Senior Night.
Lions having trouble getting clean looks against strong Gopher man-to-man.
Still 5-0, 17:25 left in half.

Well the michigan game was fun. This looks like another long offensive performance coming.

Story of the season for Penn State -- Marshall picks up two fouls in about 20 seconds and will have to go to the bench. Taylor checks in and Andre Ingram, another seldom-used senior, hits a baseline jumper.
7-0, 16:34 to go in half.

Five minutes gone and Lions still looking for their first point. 9-0 Gophers.
Bill O'Brien clearly did not give this team instructions on how to score in The Barn.

Question is now....can PSU even break 20 points before halftime? Now over five minutes in and zero points.

There was one team that only scored 4 points in the first half this year.....Penn State might give them a run for their money in this one.

Gophers doing a good job of beating double-teams with cross-court passing and making Lions pay.
Lions settling for jumpers too often so far. Even though Minny is a good shot-blocking team, ya gotta go to the basket.

When you consider all the shots this team has missed this season (and so far today), the number of shots they made Wednesday becomes that much more impressive/harder to believe.

I don't mind when he shoots them.....but when Ross Travis shoots them, I hate that.

Besides Newbill and Marshall, no one I'd rather have shoot than Taylor

I love his midrange game, but he rushes that three so much. Travis also worries me when he shoots threes. They just rush so much.

Mbakwe gets one of the uglier and-ones you'll see.
13-0 after missed free throw.
Lions at 10 minutes AND COUNTING without a point.
