100% correct. I've been around long enough to see how it can be (Dutcher/McHale/Thompson/Saunders), and it can be again. Every year recently it seems like there has always been a built in excuse to not thrive. In 2025-26 having the money coming from an elite conference and expanded Big Ten...

Thiam was energetic, but looked to score every time he touched the ball. Literally, every time.

Nice find. Must have been updated/corrected as wiki lists Nov. 22, 1894 Drexel Inst. of Art, Science, Industry vs. Temple College as first college game. First 5 on 5 game Univ. Chicago vs. Univ. Iowa in Iowa City Jan. 18, 1896 OR 1897 Yale vs Penn because the Iowa team wasn't representative...

Its funny how the WNBA loses $40-50 million a year, funded by the NBA who has never seen a profit from their funding, yet there is no interest in building college bb monetarily from any NBA team. TWolves could kick Gophers a few million bucks...;)

Hard to explain how peaceful I feel going into this game. Actually think it will be a highly competitive contest because MN has learned to front the low post (ie. Dick Bennett) so unlike last time, that pass will be highly contested by Frank the Tank et al. Mike Mitchell has been twitchy as...

I think the kick in the balls and Ohio St. fight was far more indignant. Just saying.

Yea, more like putting the toothpaste back in the tube!

This season has once again become a long exercise in frustration, with moments of unbridled joy. The eye test from afar has MN transfers underperforming, inconsistent, and what was supposed to be a decent-to-good shooting team once again hasn't panned out. Not sure why CBJ hasn't given minutes...

Before the West Coast games at USC/UCLA I was thinking the odds of winning both were about 10%. Losing both-30% Win one, lose one-60% Be happy people!

Very gritty, unexpected win mirroring the USC game. Just fantastic to beat UCLA on their home court AND get to listen to Cronin's petulance, passive aggressive attacks on his team and fans. As a MN fan, you have to enjoy these rock fight wins and accept the crushing off night losses. Schedule...

Will keep an eye on Fletcher Loyer and Purdue/MSU before Gopher game. :)

After seeing Lavin cry, would love nothing more than to see an unpopular Cronin meltdown blaming everyone else vs UCLA.

Agree. I would hate to see the Barn "blown up" and replaced by a new facility. Imagine what could be done with that solid brick shithouse bldg (a good thing) if the renovation involved a complete or near complete internal demolition. Would cost a few seats which is fine, but if everything was...

Yes, winning! Most kids are recruited based on offensive skills and being a selfless teammate. Offensive skills are more valued/rare, while defending is more about effort and willingness to learn. Thus, a defender can be “made” but its harder to develop offensive ability/shooting. Agree?

Agree 100%, esp with a long JOJ rotating. Great to think of "what ifs", but that Idiot Wind has blown through a lot of our teeth on this board. :(

I would like to see more guys in the rotation, but Rigsby is a defensive liability. Kind of floats around like Peter Pan.

Good call! 🙂

Steal one on the road tonight, and all is forgiven for Washington loss. 1-1 expected in those games.

Six more wins on the season schedule! :)

Torvik has Game Scores for each contesting team's games, and over the last 4 games MN has had game scores 92, 90, 96, 96! Other than some bad turnovers, there hasn't been anything to complain about, yet some of you's still have some self-loathing, MN pessimism. MSU has been playing their best...
