There are 250,000 alumni in the greater Twin Cities area. I think you’re underestimating just how big the school is (which is why they were asked to leave the MIAC)

Did you see the crowd St Thomas drew at the X playing against the Gophers in hockey this fall? A basketball game would be a sellout with lots of Tommie fans.

St Thomas finished the year with a NET 118 and a 24-10 record. Most of the non conference opponents we played had far worse NET. I am not seeing a big downside.

On Monday, Chris Finch left ANT on the bench while he shuffled through the bench to find something that would work against OKC. He played a zone and some little used bench players to mount the comeback. Coaching is about adjusting on the fly, finding something that works. In four years, I’ve...

In my mind, the season ended with the Wisconsin victory and the CFP bracket announcement. These guys were committed through the season. The Mayo Bowl is an exhibition game for next year. If they are not going to be here next year, they have no obligation to play.

If they want NCAA hoops vibes, the conference champions get in, but the committee seeds the tournament.

Look across the building for your model for who Coyle is going to hire. Coach Plitzuweit was someone who has multiple years of head coaching experience at mid tier D1 programs, had a proven winning record, and the ability to coach up players in a program with limited resources. This is what...

I only disagree with the "ho hum" effort part. I see lots of effort on the floor. Not very productive effort, but there is no one not busting ass.

I am former diehard, season ticket holder fan who does not follow it nearly as much any more as college sports morphs towards being nothing more than minor league professional sports. (One of my pet peeve is simply trying to figure out if a game is on TV and what channel!) I watched last night...

Quite honestly, the neighbors are throwing everything they can against the wall in hopes that something sticks to prevent the stadium from being built - Traffic, Environment, Etc. The reality is the City approved it. It will take a serious finding to derail it at this point.

A stark contrast is developing between the Gophers Men and Women basketball program. Both programs had recent, and necessary, coaching changes. Both teams needed a turnaround. The Men got an inexperienced, never been a head coach deemed to have potential. The Women got a proven, experienced...

In my opinion, a foul in the closing minutes of a game should be OBVIOUS to most everyone. The KC off sides was a penalty. The example of "taking 4 steps" is a travel. So on. Here is my issue with this call. If you slow it down, it is obviously a charge - she was not set. In real time - it...

Sorry I have to disagree. Our overall team athleticism is at the bottom of the B1G. Coach P has the team playing hard - I have no question about effort. But our quickness is especially behind - did you see the number of times we were beat down the court for layups? How many times we could...

Similar to tOSU. That was a shell of the team that played Michigan. The playoffs will correct this for the top 12. But a lot of bad bowl games this year that resembled preseason games/rosters.

By the way, I believe that with their star QB is FSU IS ONE the best 4 teams. But he’s not able to play.
