Not a good way to feature the game. This is ugly.

I wonder when the last time a team shot a high percentage in a football stadium? Final Four games are always rough to watch because the shooting background is so dramatically different for these guys.

The world won’t end because of this, but this decision doesn’t make the tournament better, so ultimately, it’s just dumb.

I’m pretty sure that’s how our hockey coaches were hired.

We played both Michigan and Illinois this year—two Final Four teams with elite athleticism. Niko and players didn’t need to play a team in the Crown to have gotten their first experience of what elite athleticism looks like. There are plenty of examples in our own conference.

He’s going to be one of those lovely 4 schools in 4 years guys, isn’t he?

Ben Jacobson finally pulls up stakes at UNI.

M It’s probably more Dodgers now than Yankees, but the idea is golden.

It takes a lot to get me jumping off my couch and screaming, but that steal and 3 did it. Hell of a comeback against that team in that game and in that situation. Hurley is a massive tool, but damn can he coach.

Just read about that. He was skinny and a bit undersized in high school, so all he got were offers from Niko at CSU and Drake before Illinois and Ben (to his credit for recognizing the talent) offered on the same day. He obviously found the perfect fit at Illinois, but he would’ve been fun to...

There’s not a Gopher fan who gives a single shit if Mark Coyle is on the selection committee. Most do care if he’s able to do his job as AD to the best of his abilities. Not being present for the women’s first Sweet 16 in 20+ years, and conducting Zoom interviews with hockey coach candidates...

I know he is. And his day job, for which he is being paid $1.4 million annually, is the Thomas O. Moe Director of Athletics at the University of Minnesota, which is sadly taking second place to his side gig.

Love seeing Coyle sitting courtside in Chicago when the Gopher women are playing in the Sweet 16 in Sacramento. Who’s paying your sizable check again, Mark?

Me too, at first I thought he missed the tip-in.

Very strange seeding of Iowa by the committee. I can’t recall a team having to beat two consecutive conference opponents to make it through the regional to get to the Final Four. And, if Iowa and Michigan State both advance, they’ll play in the national semifinal, and Iowa could then play...

I’d happily trade a head-to-head win in early January for an Elite 8 appearance in March in a blink of an eye.

That’s one of the biggest brain farts I’ve ever seen in a big game.

McCallum’s lead over Niko so far looks like Secretariat at the Belmont.

So the architecture school must've moved into the McNamara Center then?

Imagine Magic as a Gopher playing with Thompson and McHale. That team wins a national championship.
