Coming in Monday's College Hoops Summit? My midseason MVP & 1st team All-Summit League selections. There are at least 12 guys worthy of consideration, but I'll narrow it down to six. Selections will be based on league play/stats only. (all rankings NET, all times Central) ST. THOMAS (17-6...

Have to be honest, the Summit has been tougher than I anticipated. There are more decent to good teams than I thought there'd be. If the right teams win, the Summit semifinals have a chance to be hellacious. Feel crazy for saying this, but currently sixth-place South Dakota State is still the...

Nick’s 3 attempt after an offensive board up 3 with under a minute to go not the best decision. And Herro, who’s improving with every game, would probably like back that pass in too much traffic. That one really hurt. Need to find ways to get Bjerke more shots. He’s their X factor, I think. He...

Time, situation, and score. Always know it. You’re taught that at a young age. Made a little more sense to me when I heard it was a freshman. Those darn young kids! Hard way to learn a lesson.

Niko genuinely hates losing to those (fu*ks). Another reason I know the program now is in great hands. The Gopher program's day is coming. This is the best I've felt about the program since Hoffarber's miracle shot vs. Indiana in Tubby's first season. These losses have been agonizing, but I'm...

Agree. I’d add Willie (with his mask).

I'll unveil my mid-season 1st-Team All-Summit League squad after this weekend's games. It'll include six players, the MVP + five other guys. Selections will be based on league games only. Heading into this week I feel strongly about four guys, but the other two spots are wide open. The...

Breaking down the 68-team field through Jan. 27. I do not give at-large consideration to teams lower than #75 in the NET rankings. One-Bid Conferences (23) = 23 Locks for Now (28) = 51 #1 Arizona #2 Duke #3 Michigan #4 Gonzaga #5 Nebraska #6 Illinois #7 Iowa State #8 UConn #9 Michigan State...

As we still mourn the passing of Weakling Wednesday (formerly known as the "Rutgers Invitational"), 2025-26 brings us to our first "Terrible Tuesday", the first day of an all-18 team Big Ten Tournament. Our frontrunners at roughly the halfway point of the Big Ten season are #15 Oregon (1-8)...

And I’m still not dismissing Denver. Dangerous if the game becomes a total shootout. It’s all about matchups.
