    Missoula is gorgeous, although the campus is kind of run down.

    All Things 2025 NCAA Tournament Games Thread

    The Big Ten won 3 basketball titles between 1981 and 1989. The conference has won one in what’s looking like what will extend to the last 36 years. Amazing.

    I was thinking Dick Bennett, but his team would’ve only given up 18 on defense at half.

    Now that you’ve been located, does this mean we have to cancel the plans for the MNVCGUY wake we’d made?

    And dammit, I actually don’t find either the team or the coach absolutely detestable like I have for every other Duke team in my basketball watching lifetime.

    Just saw a clip from Motzko's post-game interview.......

    I grew up in Madison watching Badger hockey when it was the only game in town. Their defensive core of Chris Chelios and Bruce Driver from 1981-83 not only locked up back-to-back Frozen Four finals appearances, but also a natty. They played a collective 40 NHL seasons. Absolute studs, and...

    What grade would you give 2024-25 Gophers hockey season?

    Had the opportunity to win the conference by beating Penn State twice. Lost the opener in a shootout. Shit the bed. Lost 2 of 3 to Notre Dame at home in the first round of the conference tourney. Shit the bed. Lost in the opening round of the NCAAs despite having a 2-goal lead in the 3rd...

    Three-star Minnesota signee Jacob Ross has requested his release from his National Letter of Intent and will reopen his recruitment

    How does that work, does Niko have a “I regret to inform you” conversation with him, or does the kid make the call because the coach who recruited him got canned and he’s not interested in playing for the new guy?

    It’s the old Seinfeld line about rental cars: You’re good at HIRING the coaches, you’re just not good at HOLDING the coaches.

    P.J. Fleck says Mark Coyle 'hit a grand slam' with Niko Medved hire (video)

    A football coach using a baseball metaphor to describe the hiring of the basketball coach. Elite inclusivity.

    Skor North discusses Medved hire and the Coyle problem

    When the hell did any single Gophers fan say that hiring Ben Johnson was a breath of fresh air who would save Gopher basketball? The reaction was the exact opposite. What rock was Mackey living under 4 years ago?

    Ben turned out to be a much more accomplished leaker to local media than he was as a head basketball coach.

    RandBall: The Gophers are going for it. That’s always popular and often correct.

    Sometimes you need to walk through the darkness to understand the importance of light (I just made up that inspirational phrase). I’m hoping that the painful lessons learned from the last 12+ years of taking shortcuts and not dedicating resources to an important program are finally being heeded...

    Did hiring Niko move the donor needle? Some insight from DTA

    My son starts college in the fall. The cost to attend a Big 10 state school (Ohio State in my case) as a non-resident is insane. I wouldn’t want to have another fee tacked onto an already inflated bill, especially if it’s simply shifting my money to another student. I’d draw the line there.

    Man, the relative instability of being the child of a coach has got to be so hard, moving all the time, leaving your home and friends and having to create new ones. I get that it’s often times a lucrative way to make a living, but I personally don’t have enough professional ambition to put my...
