"The differences between this year’s Gophers men’s basketball and last year’s team are numerous, starting of course with head coach Richard Pitino taking over for the fired Tubby Smith. That said, the similarities are also pretty striking — even if this year’s squad seems to be giving off far...

"Gophers junior Mo Walker quietly has put together arguably the best five-game stretch for any backup center in the Big Ten this season. It's been hard to notice Walker's consistency because the University of Minnesota suffered three straight losses before Saturday's 66-60 win over Indiana at...

When do the Gophers leave for West Lafayette? Indiana is the state where the Clev in Cleveland is.:)

"At his introductory news conference on April 5, Gophers coach Richard Pitino barely let 30 seconds slip by before bringing up his style. He spoke of a fun-to-watch, fast-paced system, waving off preconceptions that it’s tough to play up-and-down in the grinding Big Ten. Perhaps now he’s...

"Richard Pitino wasn't surprised by Malik Smith's fearlessness. The first-year University of Minnesota basketball coach wasn't surprised his senior guard lit up Michigan State in the first half in front of 15,000 raving fans in East Lansing, Mich., on Jan. 15."...

Iowa @ Northwestern 11:00 BTN Wisconsin @ Purdue 4:00 BTN Michigan @ Michigan St 6:00 ESPN Why are there no games in the 1:00 or 2:00 slot. There's 6 other teams that are moved from Saturday (for TV reasons), yet the 1:00 or 2:00 slot sits open on a Saturday. I don't get it. At least...

"Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery hopes Gophers vs. Hawkeyes can turn into an even bigger rivalry than it has been. "We've had great games," McCaffery said. "The games have been fabulous. With the proximity and the fans, I think there is (a rivalry). We don't have a trophy. We're not going...

Anyone following 'Chasing Shakelton' on PBS?

Saturday Jan 11,2014......there is a total of two Big Ten games. Why? http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/scoreboard?date=20140111&confId=7

"With four seconds remaining in a three-point game, Malik Smith stepped to the free-throw line and clunked consecutive shots. Later, Gophers men’s basketball coach Richard Pitino called the misses “shocking.” Perhaps because the Gophers had been so good at the fundamentals all day, and a pair...

"It was too early in the Big Ten season to be a must-win game Sunday, but the Gophers couldn't afford to fall into old, bad habits. Senior Austin Hollins could sense that another loss might doom his team's confidence to open conference play. After all, Hollins experienced losing streaks far...

"Gophers coach Richard Pitino tried to get psychological with his team before Sunday’s game against Purdue. He told the players not to look at it as a must-win game this early in Big Ten play. He said if they did it was like they weren’t very confident about the rest of the season. It certainly...

Elementary Watson.:cool02:

Bison up 35-7 in the fourth quarter. Have to admit that is pretty impressive. 3 consecutive and handily.

"Richard Pitino might be onto something trying to play a constant full-court pressure, run-and-gun style in the Big Ten. Or he might be in for a rude awakening. Either way, the first-year University of Minnesota basketball coach is ready to find out. His Gophers (11-2) open conference play...

"No matter how you frame it, the Big Ten’s recent bowl history has been abysmal. In the BCS era (since 1998), Big Ten teams are 47-61 in bowl games, the worst mark for any of the power conferences. The Big Ten is 0-2 this season, and it would be 0-4 counting losses by incoming members Rutgers...
