Well, that didn't take long. UCLA figured two games was enough even though Dragovic's arraignment is scheduled for Dec. 21. After all, it is tournament time in California. I believe you predicted this, SS. I prefer Tubby's form of discipline. Go Gophers...

Darnell Dodson from Miami-Dade CC {last year} did not play in the UK vs Rider game today. I listened to the game on the radio and the announcers made no mention of him. Surprising, since Darnell has been doing very well in his first year at UK under Calipari. He is scoring well and has played...

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=4676218 This guy is a senior and no smarter than Royce. First offense for Dragovic was pushing his "girlfriend" to the ground- a misdemeanor battery. Now he has a felony charge from a matter first thought to have just gone away. Now suspended, this...

Found this embedded in an article on SI.com: Mbakwe is scheduled for a Dec. 14 trial date in Miami-Dade County for allegedly punching a woman in the face in Miami in April. His attorney, Gregory Samms, said Tuesday he's been told the case will take priority in court that week and won't be...

Here is an interesting article - albeit about football - about the risks and rewards of tough non-conference schedules. While this article is about football {fewer season games to prove yourself than basketball}, I think there are many parallels to basketball scheduling. Even with Calipari at...

I really like this player. 6'4" guards are nice to have. His jump shot looks really good - goes straight up off the pass, high release and great follow-through. Austin is very talented - also plays piano and sax. Also looking for good academic environment. Go Gophers!!

For those of you who continue to discuss UK basketball/Calipari, here is the latest news. LEXINGTON, Ky. – UK men's basketball senior Mark Krebs has been awarded the team's 13th and final scholarship for the 2009-10 season. Krebs, who was a walk-on the previous two seasons, has seen action in...

Others have mentioned this before, but I thought it warranted its own headline on a thread - once again. Perhaps Coach Smith will become more "animated" with his followers and let us enjoy his humor.

I can't believe what I just read from this Star Tribune columnist! His column was less than "mediocre" on his take of the Gopher teams' performances this year. He would fit right in with Udah(sp?) Hussein's practice of torture of Olympic athletes. He is obviously sick and, by the bottom-line...

Texas lost to Michigan St on 12/20 ...67-63 in Texas Texas beat Wisconsin on 12/23 at Wisconsin 74-69. Close games, but probably all three teams would say they didn't play well since it was early in the season. Scouting reports already on the way.

So much for being too short. Ty Lawson of UNC is listed at 5'11". We need Westbrook to get his "Ty Lawson" mo-jo back. Could the Gophers have lost "something" after the Wisconsin win just like Penn State has lost "something" since the Michigan State win? Were those games their peaks? If so...

Against Indiana, Colt Iverson played with two left feet. More than once he elevated off the wrong foot or only one foot. When he blocks shots he elevates off two feet...which is a good thing :D, but his moves around the basket leave him without a "launching" pad. He'll be more productive when...

It must have been a mirror-image game at Clemson last night as Clemson trounced Duke 74-47. Almost the same exact score. By all accounts the game went down about the same way. I wonder if the Duke board is trouncing Coach K? Doubt it. The Clemson players said Duke "quit". I don't think they...

Tubby won the coaching duel. What an awesome job! Perfect timing to put on the press - try it in the first few minutes of the game and then hold off until it's too late for W to make adjustments; With time running out in regulation - foul early- to make it at worst a 3-point game and keep W...

The Gophers are now ranked #21 in the AP and Coaches Polls. Movin' On Up!

Travis's picture is still front and center for the SI.com College BBall home page. It's been there for 2-3 days now and will probably stay there through today. Great shot of his defender left behind! What terrific exposure for the MN Gophers! Mmmm......they're using a pic from the MN vs UL...

Since discussion about a practice facility has risen again in another thread, I thought it deserving of its own thread ...once again. While the "bells and whistles" are nice and "we must keep up with the Jones" is necessary to stay competitive with the better programs, there are more aspects of...

Louisville coach Rick Pitino says his team's days of easy wins are over.......Louisville won all three games last weekend by an average of 32 points, but with neutral site games against Mississippi and Minnesota next week Pitino said his team needs to know that its hard work is just beginning...

Halftime Cornell up by 12 but we have played mostly reserves. Foul trouble - no more than 2 on anybody. Williams has played a few minutes. Whitman is hot! on 3s. Look for him not to see the ball much in the 2nd half

Here is a write-up about Villanova of the heralded big east teams. They are rated #17...go figure. "The Wildcats (8-0) continued their season full of romps and this one was over not long after the opening tip. They have yet to play a truly competitive game and won by 20-plus points for the...
