    Kansas has received an unprecedented $300 million gift from donor David Booth, believed to be among largest single gifts in history of college sports

    I don't think technically any of that money can be used to pay NIL. The article states $75 million will go to the construction project, and the remaining will support KU athletics. I took that as the funds would help bolster the athletic department's budget. However, if there is a program that...

    Kiddos at the game

    I'm easing my oldest in. Last year, she was two and I brought her to a kid-friendly tailgate. Now she associates "gophers" with eating, coloring, and fun. This year, we will hit a preseason game, and hopefully some preseason hoops as well! Slow and steady lol.

    Non-Con Sked/Rankings Thread (Aug. 29)

    What a garbage Maui field. I'm sure a handful of these teams will be significantly better than their metrics were last year, but that's somewhat underwhelming for the prized preseason tournament.

    Gophers 2025-26 non-con schedule news

    Man that’s brutal. I’m disappointed in Niko. I don’t care that it’s his first year. Thank goodness that @Mizz game fell through last year. Ben’s home schedule was a gauntlet last year compared to this trash.

    The Basketball Tournament

    Didn't they try to put a team together a few years ago, but expected fans to crowd fund them?

    Gophers 2025-26 non-con schedule news

    What's the word on Stanford? At a glance, it appears that their best big (20/10) is playing for the Kings, and their best guard has transferred out. Not much movement otherwise, in or out. They were similar to MN last year in terms of KenPom. Santa Clara was decent last year, but appears to...

    Went down the YouTube rabbit hole and found this game - Gophers v Indiana 2002

    Watch how hard everyone was playing in the last minute of a decided game. :LOL: You wouldn't see that in today's game.

    Gophers 2025-26 non-con schedule news

    https://www.si.com/college/washington-state/men-s-basketball/way-too-early-wcc-men-s-basketball-power-rankings-for-2025-2026 Saw this was published a few days ago. Sounds like they have some nice pieces and could potentially challenge Gonzaga and St Mary’s in the WCC. I’ll take it at this...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    I'm mostly checking this thread to see if there are any updates on Ben's career. I'm sure Ben feels slighted, so it's no surprise he hasn't said anything. In his defense, he hasn't publicly bashed the program, his circumstances, or the lack of resources, nor has he made any other excuses. I...

    NCAA votes to increase college basketball schedules to 32-game season beginning in 2026-27

    Another mid-December tune-up is just what this program needs!

    2025 Gophers Basketball Summer Practice Thread

    They have unique “playlists” within that general channel for the specific teams (men’s basketball is one of them).

    Paul Finebaum: What's a loss from your favorite sports team you still can't get over?

    Michigan 2015 was pretty awful. Score the go ahead TD with 19 second left, it gets overturned (Wolitarsky knee down) and we couldn't score from the 1/2 yard line. Was at the game and surrounded by Michigan fans. Brutal.

    All Things Niko Medved Twitter Thread

    I tuned in, caught the last few minutes. Niko is working hard to secure one more neutral game against a good opponent. It also sounds like @Missouri is happening this coming season. Assuming Niko can secure the neutral site game, the nonconference should be in a much better place than last...

    2025 Gophers Basketball Summer Practice Thread

    I investigated this way harder than I'd like to admit (as practice #s don't match roster #s). I can say with 98% certainty it's Chansey Willis Jr. However, if it is Nemeiah Turner (#4 on the roster), he may be a bit undersized for the BIG 10. :ROFLMAO:
