You have to think we are playing without 4 starters as Fox and Ihnen would have likely been starters too...probably only Willis would have started if all of our 12 scholarship players were able to play.
I just love this team. What heart! What skill! What teamwork! What coaching! And Ben did it without three assistants and Fox, Ihnen, Curry, Battle, Ramberg and Stephens. And we only have 12 scholarship players to begin with....just WOW!
Schools are ranked on the difficulty getting accepted and the size of their endowments. They are not ranked out outcomes. I think you would find that talented people that go to other good schools education-wise, received a comparable education. I saw one study out of Princeton that said as...
They aren't DIII they are FCS which allows 63 scholarships but the Ivy League doesn't allow any. That being said, Harvard does, like most Ivy League schools, offer very generous financial aid rewards to all economically eligible students.
Wow! These guys are the best. They came within 3 in the last 5 minutes of a game where we have 6 players out (Fox and Ihnen too). So much heart but also talent. They play as a team. Extremely well-coached and never give up. This is the easiest Gopher basketball team to support in a long...

But it feeds their ego to be the star of their teams growing up because they are really a year older. Saying this as a parent who didn't hold back my April/June kids. It also applies to academics. If you look at the NFL a disproportionate number of players are from early in the year as the...
I respectfully disagree. Getting a team to play together is evidence of being able to coach. Our team plays fundamentally sound basketball. Most of these players weren't recruited by high major programs which may say that they were overlooked or that they have been coached up. Watching how...
Perhaps the teams that get vaccinated, boosted, distance, mask and isolate can be rewarded? Not getting it involves some luck but a lot of things that one controls...otherwise folks could claim Covid and not play any of their tough games and win the B1G
When Kill took over weren't we about to lose some scholarships because of his predecessors lack of emphasis on academics? Kill did a great job and PJ even more so. Awesome!
