    2025 Transfer Portal Watch

    But, I do not think the NBA Draft effects the Gophers. Any of those guys are going to bid after by the big spenders. IDK maybe there are some fringe guys but my guess is many of that group have already said they are returning to college...it's an easy decision to return...they make more than...

    Gophers 2025-26 non-con schedule news

    The philosophy I'm always advocating is a strong non conference schedule to simulate and grow for the conference season. Got to thinking, I could maybe make an exception in year one of a new coach because you don't want to go 6 and 5 to start either, if calamity strikes? But, by the same token...

    Ya, thank you. I understand what you are saying now and I can agree with that. It makes sense to me. I didn't grasp your distinction originally. Thanks for explaining it to me. (Thumbs uo emoji)

    Rutgers

    We are talking basketball. 5 players play at a time. If Duke has five of the top 59 draftable players in the upcoming draft and Rutgers has two...then it stands to reason the answer is they are not comparable situations. Jimmy Butler's scoring is down vs the Timberwolves. A major reason for...

    Rutgers

    Sure, ignore what i said and you are arguing with yourself. You should win that. Duke has 5 players expected to be drafted. Rutgers two. This illustrates the deficit that Rutgers operated under. 2? or 5? It's not the same.

    Rutgers

    Duke had multiple elite young players, not just 2 like Rutgers. Cooper Flagg was considered head and shoulders the best freshman...put those two things together and then compare the culture/tradition of Duke compared to Rutgers and they are not apples to apples comparisons. I watched the...

    Rutgers

    I think there are a bunch of reasons...take Indiana away...Bailey had 39 points, Harper didn't play, they lost by 10. Everybody's mantra is playing seniors from the portal...these two teenagers are playing teams of grown men 4, 5, 6 years older. NBA drafts on potential...what they they think you...

    Williams Arena named 33rd best atmosphere in CBB.

    Times change and I could be wrong too but when Williams was rockin'...Musselman, Dutcher eras..I don't recall there even was a student section. They could sell and did sell lower level tickets for full price with people clamoring to get access. I think students had a section upstairs...

    Williams Arena named 33rd best atmosphere in CBB.

    Williams Arena with a good Gopher team and a full house is 100% a top 5 basketball atmosphere. Problem is nobody has seen it for 25 years because our teams have only flashed for a month or so and even that on rare occasion. Get us in a top 4 spot perenially in the conference like Purdue...

    Big Ten Basketball: Way-too-early Big Ten Power Rankings entering 2025-26 season (16. Minnesota)

    I hear what you are saying and agree in the case of most all teams but Iowa actually has something like 5 guys who have played together at Drake. Coach is proven and they added some nice pieces...they are an NCAA Tournament team. Lots, maybe most after Purdue are pretty speculative, no doubt.

    Couple College Basketball Arguments - Coaches and Rivalries

    I looked really hard for the Gophers, but...who would it be? We gotta win more. Interesting...Xavier and Cincinnati is #6 and UConn St Johns are 17. I think I see 3 Big Ten rivalries. Muss not happy with no respect vs UCLA to be included.. Iowa has two, Wisconsin has one...is Minnesota vs St...

    Gophers 2025-26 non-con schedule news

    Ya, Gottlieb said something on the radio LeBron didn't like. I believe it was Bronny wouldn't even be the best player on WGB....let alone an NBA Draft Pick. LeBron made regular posted fun of lots of the losses. Something along those lines.

    Massive boys basketball tournament brings top recruits, social media stars to Twin Cities

    In a perfect world maybe...I had the exact opposite thought...my gawd, unbelievable, they actually hitrd security guys!

    I think that's a good addition. It's early...so anticipating higher rated opponents to follow spliced in. I don't know how good but I think they will be quite a bit better in the coming year and it is a neighboring state. Could see it as a future game that brings some following ticket wise...
