    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    I really think if we take Wishart it would be a mistake. I know people on this board like his game and he is a local kid, but it wasn't like he was lighting it up at Georgia Southern by averaging 9 ppg. He also struggled in his games against Auburn and Georgia, the closest comparison we have...

    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    This excites me. Rebounding is a skill that should be translate well to the big ten, even if he isn't a high end scorer.

    STrib: Four-star forward Tray Jackson no longer committed to Gophers hoops

    If we get this guy and Oturu leaves have we thought of just starting Ihnen at the 4 and this guy or someone of similar size (Curry, Jarvis?) at the 5 and go all in on playing a smaller line up? I know rebounding might not be pretty, but it seems smarter to just try to get as much talent as...

    All Things Class of 2020 Recruiting Thread

    Doesn't seem promising if we are offering guys who averaged 4 points per game in a Mid major league.... Hopefully I'm missing something and this guy can play.

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

    How is it even a debate about if his coaching was a reason we lost? How many time did we fail to inbound the ball or have a stupid turnover? I lost count. This is a trend, just like the Iowa game where we had back to back 10 seconds in the back court. The team never looks prepared when plan A...

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

    This game was my breaking point. The team could barely inbound the ball with the season on the line and then choked the game away at the line. I don’t know how anyone could want to be content with this, I don’t have high expectations but enough is enough. This is just miserable now. Time to...

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

    I think people need to stop acting like Freeman is the next coming of Bakary or Diedhou. Hes still relatively raw and a freshman, but be has a nice frame and looks to have an alright shooting stroke.

    Maybe we all just need to calm down

    I had context and still thought it was ridiculous... LOL

    Maybe we all just need to calm down

    Regardless of what you feel about the student council process, it is pretty irrelevant to the fact that lynch would do things that a representative of the school shouldn’t do, and Pitino got burned by taking a chance on a player with character red flags. That issue occurred because of coach and...

    Maybe we all just need to calm down

    To be fair, I was in college at the time Lynch was kicked off the team. Everyone my age in the twin cities knew he had a rep for the kind of behavior that got him in trouble. Girls would see him at the bar and immediately feel uncomfortable. If this was news to Pitino, he did a terrible job...

    Amir Coffey Makes NBA Debut With Los Angeles Clippers

    I was at the Clippers wolves game and watched Amir with my buddy who is also a big gopher fan. He definitely looked like he belonged on the court. He may not ever become more than a reserve, but we both agreed that with his skill and athleticism, the fluidity of the NBA was better suited for...

    Shama: U State Hoops Recruiting Not Okay

    This article is terrible. The Wofford kid average 3 points per game, I don't know how you can make an argument that he wouldn't be another Michael Hurt type player that everyone on this board whines about.

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

    Game seemed to get away from us when Oturu missed the front end of the 1 and 1 down 3. Absolutely killed momentum as penn state was beginning to feel the pressure.

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

    I am actually a fan of Pitino, but I think he needs to readjust the game plan. We are 5 of 47 from three in the past two games, so clearly jump shooting is not a strength of this team. Instead of people constantly saying we just need to hit shots, maybe we should reconsider our offensive...

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

    I agree, but one way or another we lost a game we shouldn't of. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite us on selection sunday.

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

    Crazy to think we should probably be 6-3 in conference if we didn't blow it against Purdue

    Minnesota varsity basketball game postponed due to 'lack of refs'

    This information was given to me as part of a required annual training to be a USSF soccer referee. This is different than high school soccer which is unaffiliated. However, as stated above, they have had to realign age limits on who can work games and do other things just to make the numbers work.

    Minnesota varsity basketball game postponed due to 'lack of refs'

    I ref soccer, so a different sport, but we have lost over 1000 refs in the past few years. This is only going to become more of a problem over time due to behavior of players, coaches and fans.

    This year's team is better than last year's

    I believe the biggest difference between this year and last is Marcus Carr. The team last year probably had more talent, with Coffey and Murphy, but it was forced to play Amir out of position. At times the offense would grind down and we would go through ugly stretches were we couldn't put...

    Next Ranking

    Hi all! I am new to gopher hole but I have been a huge fan of the U for a long time. I was talking with buddy about where the gophers should be ranked in the next CFP rankings. I don’t see any reason why the gophers shouldn’t be top 6 at a minimum. We are 9-0 with a win against PSU who was...
