    Done Deal! - MINNESOTA HIRES NIKO MEDVED!!

    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...

    Former Gophers in Tourney

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

    The Case for Niko (aka Niko’s Case)

    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...

    Drake wins. Next UMN Coach?

    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...;)

    ***OFFICIAL wisconsin AT MINNESOTA SENIOR NIGHT (JOHNSON'S LAST HOME GAME?) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    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...

    ***OFFICIAL wisconsin AT MINNESOTA SENIOR NIGHT (JOHNSON'S LAST HOME GAME?) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

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

    Ben Johnson Post-Game Following Northwestern Loss

    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...

    Ben Johnson and the boys are kicking ass- who would have thunk it??

    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!

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

    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. :)

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

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

    Reusse: Unlike the Gophers’ coaching situation, the solution for Williams Arena is simple: Blow up The Barn

    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...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    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?

    STrib: Gophers coach Ben Johnson searches for answers to better backcourt play

    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. :(

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

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

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    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! :)

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MICHIGAN STATE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    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...
