I'd like to see Rutgers make it, personally. IMO they're deserving, and God knows that program has suffered enough throughout the years. They made a hell of a showing in the tournament last year too. They came so, so, so, so close to making the Sweet 16.

Dang. Color me as one person who would *not* want to be on the receiving end of a Juwan Howard punch, like, ever. Probably a good thing for both coaches that punch didn't really land. Had it truly connected, that would've knocked Krabbenhoft's block off, and Howard could have realistically been...

Wow. What gets me is that they all profess to like their coach on a personal level, and yet they orchestrate this highly public walkout with two games left in the season in order to try and get him fired? If they really had issues with his coaching (whether those concerns are legitimate or not)...

Hey, if they don't want to play for their coach, then they don't need to be on the team. That seems like a pretty simple and logical equation. The article mentioned that the coach held a practice after his varsity players demanded his dismissal, and not a single member of the varsity bothered...

Well, Daniels does give effort, of that I have no doubt. He is however one of the stiffest basketball players I have ever seen. He is just terribly clumsy and like Roberto Duran, has got 'manos de piedra' (hands of stone). I can't whale on him for being a not very good player at this level...

Totally agree. Generally an NIT invite is is about as welcome as a herpes diagnosis, but this year, given the expectations coming in, I'd be thrilled to death with an invite to the NIT.

This made me think immediately of John Shurna. In no sense of the word could he ever be described as being highly athletic and when shooting it was like he was heaving the ball outward from his midsection. In addition to that, there was a little hitch in his shooting motion too. I have literally...

That's a bit of a self-defeating stance, isn't it? If you've got a player able to help your team, then you don't let silly, misplaced pride stand in the way of adding that player to your team. Beyond that, if some 17 or 18 year old kid made a decision they ended up regretting (I know, never...

RIP, Coach Fitch.

Looking at the Boilers, they are just on a whole 'nother level so far as depth and talent go. I mean realistically, that is a team which has great potential to go very, very deeply into the month of March. These Gophers though, they just battle. To my eyes, they face a deficit of some kind in...

That's awesome. Congrats to Payton!

This is so cool, and congrats to both Boye and Daniel. They've worked very hard to attain these lofty rankings and soon they'll be able to monetize that. Couldn't happen to a finer pair of players, of Gophers, and of young men. Congrats, fellas!

Who knows? Similar to the profile of Leighton Vander Esch coming out of high school (minus the 8 man football part). Wouldn't that be sweet if we got a diamond in the rough here? I'm really excited to see him play.

Who hates Iowee???? We hate Iowee!!!! Let's beat those fig puckers!

Probably opinion?

You really do have to love an attitude like that, as well as the fact that he is ALL about playing for the Gophers. Turned down a PWO offer from Michigan and 12 D-1 scholarship offers including offers from Army, Navy, and Air Force, so you know he's got to be one heck of a student who's also...

I like this kid already!

Does anyone remember what rating Darrell Thompson (the Rochester Rocket!!!!) had coming out of high school? I honestly cannot recall, though I do remember him being recruited heavily by a whole crew of blue-blooded schools.

We didn't sign him out of high school, but Octavius Gould was a 5 star transfer we landed from the University of Florida back in (I believe) 1986.
