Garcia is a pretty strong player

Villainously crafty

The Dain Dainja game

 

[BBlock24]

Domask gets away with sliding his feet a lot while pivoting around in the post lol.

 

[sbillini]

Dain getting away with a walk…but love his game tonight!

Dainja totally not travelling! Let's go!

 

[so illini]

MD travelled.

Shhh

 

[Chad Fleck]

If the defense is bad overall, I see no reason not to see more Dain.

 

[NarrowJ]

Not in his second year he wouldn't.

Ok, 25 and 15

The guy you're talking about averages 9 and 6

Soph Kofi destroys this guy

We need to foul guys a lot harder down low. Can't let guys finish through contact like that. Should have been a point of emphasis for the staff after MSU game for sure.

We’ve done this for years. Record numbers of And-1s given up.

Play smart and we win.

If anyone else watches sleepers, they will understand: Dain game!

MD putting on a clinic tonight

Much better 2nd half

 

[Bigtex]

Are you kidding. Minnesota scored 55 at Nebraska their last game

 

[stlrunner]

Dain has been crucial tonight. Big minutes.

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Another second half with no Ty?

I'm a big Ty believer, but it makes sense to me in this one. It's a straight out shootout and Dain and Justin have had solid 2nd halves. You don't need the extra ball handling or rebounding at this point or to set up the offense. Everyone is getting every shot they want. Just go with your best shooters and roll the ball out

 

[BRucks]

5 guys with double digits

 

[TheodoreRex]

Ty's confidence seems shook... He didn't seem to respond well to being benched with that starting 5 in the Iowa game. I hope he gets it back soon. Best part of Dain's game tonight is his activity defensively and rebounding!

Cart will definitely be happy with this one

 

[SescIllini]

We have two losses due to no Danja...he needs to play

 

[Manual3for4peat]

Imagine you’re Minnesota. You shoot 65 percent from three and a healthy amount of attempts. And you’re down 12.

His high number of minutes are killing his 20 in 20 stats though!
