    Kaydn Betts commits to Montana

    I know a couple of the Assistants at Montana. Real good basketball people. If there's anything there, pretty sure they'll be able to get it out of him.

    Transfer Portal 2025

    I was thinking more along the lines of San Diego State University. Made the NCAA's, beautiful climate, don't know many people who hate living there.

    WBIT Game 3: Gophers host Gonzaga (3-27-25)

    It's always tough to see all the defensive hand-to-hand combat going on down in the paint unless you're sitting fairly close to the floor of a college basketball game, as opposed to watching on TV or farther upstairs. It's also hard to understand team defensive concepts, that sometimes seem to...

    WBIT Game 3: Gophers host Gonzaga (3-27-25)

    I know more than a few of those types of interviewers. The idea is that they're working to get a coach to say certain things that confirm the interviewers theme for the game or season. "Never ask a question you don't already know the answer to". Don't give the coach much wriggle room to...

    New Coach Short List

    Fans love fiery coaches because we only seen them twice a week and we can vent our frustrations vicariously through them as they jump around and scream at refs and players. However, when you have to deal with that every day for 6 months or so, it gets pretty old pretty fast. How about finding...

    Plitzuweit

    No coach in the world is going to consistently play somebody who has trouble figuring out your offensive system and hasn't yet learned how to play defense at the college level. More often than not, it takes players time to figure out the college game. A few get it right away (Tori-and she was...

    Plitzuweit

    Sounds (and in watching, it also looked) to me that we need to be much better defensively! In looking at the rest of the Big Ten, I think you vastly overrated the talent on our Gophers team. We have some nice pieces, but with who we suited up after Braun and Woodson went down, we are not an...

    Plitzuweit

    Gotta remember that this is season 2. Lost 2 of the top 8 rotation players (including the one who most consider the best). And it's seems there are offensively gifted players coming in next year. I'm still shocked that anybody looked at our Gophers, then the rest of the Big 10 coming into the...

    Gophers recruit Parker Jefferson has big MLK day with his first career triple-double

    That is an interesting point in that it begs the question; Is that a actually a factor to be taken seriously or not. I could see that it might be, but then again, maybe not so much. I have no idea.

    Fresno State Men's Basketball players allegedly placed bets on games they played in, sources say

    Gotta admit, the very few times I ever won at a Blackjack table, the only thing I felt was relief. Probably because I don't make enough money to be able to afford to lose even a $20.

    McKenna Johnson's Playing Time

    My feeling is that if Johnson decides to transfer, it will be because she does not believe she is capable of becoming the type of player that coach Dawn P prefers to have on the floor, or decides she doesn't want to be that type of player and wants to go to a program that will allow her to...

    Fresno State Men's Basketball players allegedly placed bets on games they played in, sources say

    Besides missing the entire point, which is spending money on something you have no control over as opposed to spending money on anything else that you can have some control over, which is stupid; How do you know whether or not I donate time or money to help others? Maybe I need to send you an...

    Fresno State Men's Basketball players allegedly placed bets on games they played in, sources say

    I enjoy going out to eat or have a drink or watch a show on Netflix or take a vacation. I can pretty much count on any of those things being a reasonably enjoyable experience. I can control the circumstances of each of those things. Change the channel, Order what I want, Pick the spot I want to...

    Fresno State Men's Basketball players allegedly placed bets on games they played in, sources say

    I've always been of the opinion that only an idiot would bet money on something they have zero control over. Unless you can somehow show me how I can control whether Dawson Garcia makes or misses a 3-point shot to win or lose a game, I maintain you have zero control of one or the other...

    Lu'Cye Patterson

    I admit I was too. But I also assumed that coach was seeing something in practice that we weren't seeing and that maybe things were taking a little longer than usual to click. Seems like we fans see the current snapshot (good, bad or average) and assume that's what the entire movie is going to be.

    Lu'Cye Patterson

    One of the things I've never understood is the need for so many fans to take an early, quick look at a new player and feel the need to make a pronouncement (especially negative) on that players ability, fit, intangibles, ect. with-out waiting to see if said player improves, adjusts, learns the...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT UCLA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Wonder how many called in to mention how the refs always screw us over, we're normally talented enough to overcome it. It's not just Gopher fans, everybody's fan base is convinced the refs are screwing them over! :)

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT UCLA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I honestly love watching a heady, important defensive play when your team needs a stop as much as I enjoy watching a spectacular dunk. I know a lot of people think defensive basketball is boring. If it's strictly a matter of horrible offensive execution, then I guess it can be, but when a team...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Wondering if you've ever heard a coach say "One of the things that really helps our team stay together and work hard every day to get better is the fact that some of our guys refuse to accept their roles on the team. Their pouting about not starting and not being "team first-me second" kind of...

    McKenna Johnson's Playing Time

    To be honest, one of her bench players is now a starter in place of Braun. Her number 7/8 bench strength (Woodson) is out for the season. That leaves her with a solid 6th and 7th player coming off the bench. She went into the season thinking she had 9; which is a deep bench in D-1 Basketball...
