I estimate 150 Cats fans in attendance and still outnumbering Gophers fans 3:1.

First pick and roll set by Martinelli on Clayton they switch. That’s a good matchup for us.

Looking good so far.

By the way, the way my family watches is by pointing a computer at the TV set to Peacock and others watch on Zoom. Works great.

Is it me or is Clayton playing really well today? Not just that he's made a few shots but he just seems to be running things really well.

Out of the country. Can you post scores from time to time. Thanks
Clayton playing a lot and doing well. Still not rebounding although they are quite a bit taller than us. Still can't make three-point shots. Despite all that we are winning but not by much.

Martinelli already has 14 points at the TV timeout. Not bad for a second team All B1G player.

I think Ben Johnson thought about Martinelli and said f*** it, let him play, no need for adjustments

They keep working the ball to get that Clayton matchup with Garcia.
We were up by 9 and then the last 2 minutes of the first half couple turnovers and Clayton came back down to earth in terms of his play and now we only have a three-point lead and it could have been even one.

Up 9 with less than 2 in the half. Allow a 6 pt run. Could have been close to putting this away going to the locker room. Ugh

11% from three. That's not.... uh..... so good. But we're winning thanks to Nick's 16 points. He sorta' looks like a first team All BIG performer out there.

We’re just going to have to come out strong in the second half and put them away. Berry seems out of synch, hopefully he gets going. And Nick just keeps doing Nick things.

The Justin Mullins show! Nice dish to Nicholson for the dunk, then the smooth Jordanesque drive to the bucket. Up by twelve now.

KJ with the shot of the game, heaves it while falling out of bounds for a three!

Up by 15 now, less than 4 minutes left.
