God, that's depressing. Maybe after all the turmoil and travel they can get back to somewhat on track against Northwestern. Too bad our one game for the week isn't Thursday instead of the earlier rotation of the week. Still a decent team there for this year's BIG if a couple of them stop pouting, stop playing hero ball, and start putting the ball in the basket.

Agree 100%.

It starts with the senior captain.

The game against Ohio State will have prepared the Gophers well for playing in front of 16,000 empty seats.
