    Teams the Gophers can finish ahead of in Big Ten

    I probably would still subtract Illinois. Don’t get me wrong, Shannon is a huge loss and would be the front runner for Big Ten player of the year if not for Edey. However, there’s still a ton of talent on that team. I think of it as the ceiling being lowered, but not necessarily the floor. All...

    Now this was a backcourt!!

    Orr was my favorite player on that team. Probably because I knew I wanted to be a point guard by that time and my favorite team was obviously the Gophers. In the driveway though, I was always Penny Hardaway… 😁

    Reusse: Foolish for Gophers to continue avoiding St. Thomas hoops rivalry

    Unfortunately you might as well get used to it. St Thomas fans are going to continue to bombard this site with the same old narrative that the Gophers are too scared to play them until it actually happens. Expect 10+ threads a year on this topic for the foreseeable future.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT OHIO STATE JAMISON BATTLE REVENGE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    1) Who cares about the starting lineup right now? Payne played 31 minutes last night and Christie played 27. That's what you should worry about. This obsession over the starting lineup is weird on this site. Minutes and who ends the game is what matters. 2) Refs are not out to get the Gophers...

    2023-2024 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    I was very impressed with Marquette yesterday. What a well-oiled machine. They did not let up once all game on the defensive ended. I was wondering if last year was a flash in the pan with this specific group of players. Sneaking up on the Big East is one thing, but doing it again the next year...

    ***OFFICIAL ARKANSAS PINE-BLUFF AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I agree that San Francisco won't mean much on our resume, but Boise St is a projected NCAA tournament team and Grand Canyon was the preseason pick to win the WAC. Both are very solid teams.

    At this point, the Big Ten needs Purdue to beat Gonzaga in the 1st round and go a minimum of 2-1 at Maui. The league needs wins pretty badly against power conferences teams.

    Is it an upset anymore if you lose to the same team three years in a row? Colgate is drilling Syracuse.

    He was such an underrated NBA player. Nothing flashy, but man he could drill those mid-range jumpers in his sleep.

    Road to Selection Sunday: First In-Season Field of 68 Projection Welcomes 5 New At-Large Teams

    Nevada looked pretty impressive last night, which I'm guessing is why you moved them in. Now, who knows what Washington team we'll get this year, but that's a big road win for them regardless.

    St Mary's was cruising along tonight and then allowed Weber St to end the game on a 30-10 run to lose by 4. Big upset.

    Missed the game last night. So how did Christie look?

    Even with poor non-conference slate, 21 wins should get the Gophers a ticket to the Madness

    Valid point, but the ACC was historically bad last year. The MW even finished above them at the end of the year. I said this awhile ago on the schedule thread, but this schedule hurts the postseason chances of this team significantly. Not saying I predict this team will go to the NCAA...

    ***OFFICIAL BETHUNE-COOKMAN SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I agree. He wasn't being aggressive going after rebounds and kept trying to put the ball on the floor where it was getting tipped or stolen. Frustrating game for Payne.

    Well at least BTN+ finally added casting as an option. It's never available as an app on my smart TV, and I had to watch games on my phone or laptop last year.

    ***OFFICIAL MACALASTER AT MINNESOTA EXHIBITION IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    By my count, Johnson put five different defenders on him. So what you are saying is Johnson should have used a new defense that he's never going to use again the rest of the year because someone got red hot... in a 20+ point blowout exhibition where the main goal is to figure out rotations and...
