Koenig got the two shots to win the game though...
whew. Just finished the game on the TiVO. Well, it's always tough to win at the barn. So, a Win is a Win. What was the Gophers 3-point Shooting Pct. Holy Cow.
I think if we had lost, we would be talking about the last minute of regulation. We had a 67-64 lead and the ball....TWICE. Both times the offense was stagnant. The first one Hayes had to burp up a long 3 and on the other Jordan Hill forgot to put the ball to the floor before he took 2 steps with 22 seconds left. Just not a good sequence. They make a trey to tie it, and then BK loses the ball as he tries to put up a gamewinner. I'm not sure why Gard didn't use a timeout at some point in that last minute. We still had 3 left at the end of regulation. That last shot by Minnie was a breath-taker-away-er shot.
I read the graphic where Minnie leads the overall series 102 -98. So, hopefully in two more years we will tie that record.
That was as good as fun of a game as you will see. The back and forth in OT was entertaining and WI was clutch.
There is some stat published about the Badgers closing like 95% of games where they are leading with 5 minutes to go. That's crazy
These games vs. the Gophers are always tough ones. I liked how Big Ten Network announcer Shon Morris had to bring up the "Minnesota Connection" with the former Badgers who came from Minnesota(Breusewitz, Taylor, Berggren, etc.). I had to look up his bio to see if he was a Minnesotan at some point.
Has anyone made more clutch shots in their college career as Bronson Koenig has done as a Badger?
maybe Frank the Tank, but not those long outside threes with a man in his face. It seems BK won't shoot for a few minutes or possessions, then, when you need that key basket, out of nowhere, he drops it in.
