    March Madness

    Obviously no gopher games, but vault.ncaa.com has all the sweet 16 games from the last decade archived and available for viewing. Hopefully they'll continue archiving them so that when the gophers do make it back we'll be able to watch in perpetuity.

    The reason we have no chance on Thursday

    Illinois leads the nation in opponents' free throw percentage while the gophers are nearly last. How will they be able to overcome this massive disparity? Where's speedo-guy when we need him?

    New tiebreaker rules?

    Did anyone else hear that they're planning on instituting new tiebreaker rules? Now after head to head they're going to determine the winner by highest BCS standing.
