(I've been a Gopher Hoops fan since 1970. This was one of the toughest years to ever have to endure....) That being said, I am reminded how much good teams rely on a reliable experienced point guard. It has been said a lot on this Board, but it still bears repeating. What I am thinking of...

Anyone remember, in the mid 1990's, Mason left Kansas for two days and was announced as Georgia's new coach, then changed his mind and went back to KS? We will not know for sure who the next coach is until he signs on the dotted line. Even then, wait a day or three to be aboslutely, positively...

Talent of course is very subjective, but one objective measure is the number of players who have appeared on an NBA Roster in any one season. The recent threads inspired me to put together this list of Gophers who have appeared on an NBA roster somewhere since 1975. Hat tip to Eric T. for the...

Big Ten Tournament Semis: 4 teams playing. No Badgers, no Hawkeyes. But one UMN team, still going.....:)

It was posted by SS yesterday about Sparty - he said that they were ripe for defeat. Awfully prescient! And what a victory for our program. Incidentally, it also kept Tubby's 20-win streak alive..... It is very similar this late afternoon. The Boilers are ready to go down. With the way we...

1) I don't care about the bubble right now (well, I kind've do, being a bubble nerd, but.....) --> just beat Meeccheeegan tonite! 2) The Wisconsin victory and then the Illinois road victory went a long way toward making a really lousy season turn out pretty much ok. Beating Michigan will add...

Appopro for a long and frustrating season, and then a victory vs. those BADGERS! Henry: You beat him, kid. Hooker: You were right, Henry. It's not enough... But it's close. A victory over the Badgers. IT'S CLOSE!!!!:)

http://www.kcci.com/sports/22005690/detail.html This is a link to one of the Des Moines TV station web-sites. Kannard Banks is not the Cyclones' best defensive player, but he is pretty good, and they will miss his presence. Anyone remember Trumaine Banks missing one of our Bowl games a few...

This is an almost verbatim quote from Des Moines Register sportswriter Sean Keeler, re/ Tubby. The context is, an on-line chat covering the State of Iowa basketball, given the 15-17 season and the recent player transfers. Why it is difficult to compete in the Big 10. "The problem is: You've...

I'd just like to thank these guys for sticking with the Gopher program thru thick and thin over the last years....it looks like they (and their perserverance) will get rewarded with a visit to the Big Dance this year! Hopefully the next few years, we will not need to sweat out a bid like we...

Georgetown 16-14. They are out! St. John's 16-16. BEAT THE WILDCATS!!!!!:)

Allright, they are not our biggest rival by any stretch, but this theme *worked* agaisnt Bucky, so let's try it against the WOLVERINE. Shota against Detroit don't count, that is too easy (imho). here are a few to start: 1) Glen Rice beating us. 2) Chris Webber beating us. 3) Bill Frieder. 4)...

Any guesses on when Bo Ryan's initial whine to the officials takes place tonite? I would venture to guess 2:15 into the 40 minute game.....

There seems to be an informal consensus that our beloved Rodents will lose in Champaign-land. Probably only because we always seem to. But what about it? Could we steal one there? When we ended the Illini streak against us this year, the key seemd to be our defense, esp. at least imho the...
