I can't recall seeing any team make a statistical turn around like the Gophers' three-point shooting and especially three-point defense. During the non-conference season, the Gophers were well below average in both areas. Now, somehow, they are above average in both areas, and rank 4th in both...

Time to step up and pull your weight. Be loud, be involved, get in Illinois' heads. Embarrass us "old folks" with your fervor to the point we have to cheer. Bring friends, family. Go pull a 20 out of a cash machine, and drag some random people to the barn and buy them a ticket. Prove the...

Too excited to sleep much last night, but who cares?! The sun always shines brighter after a victory. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UwaWiC965EY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Because we don't win road games against top ten teams during my life time. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT A WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fire, no matter how southern your drawl, has only one syllable. Retire has two syllables, just like Tubby, and I'm not sure what giving Ron Jirsa the keys will accomplish.

Mizzou and KSU and Cuse and Marquette today. Good timing for a slow day in B1G hoops.

Until they miss a 6 on 5 in the last possession of game http://deadspin.com/5873578/the-ragin-cajuns-used-the-rare-basketball-power-play-to-beat-western-kentucky-on-this-buzzer+beater

Please don't pine for: a) "one of us" The Flip or Tim Miles types aren't going to fix thing b) the mid-major coach of the moment Do pine for, in this order: a) a winner at a football school that wants the spot light. Anthony Grant at Bama perhaps b) an overperformer at a historically bad BCS...

HATES

He's the most entertaining ejection in college basketball since the old chair thrower himself.

Complete idle speculation. He is supposedly considering bailing on Memphis. I wonder if Tubby's Memphis pipeline and Jackson's relationship to Andre Hollins (high school teammates) might finally give the Gophers a transfer of the positive kind.

Northwestern getting shellacked is good news. Might have to bite the bullet and cheer for Iowa in final game tonight. Indiana and MSU should be fun, and a better barometer for who the hoosiers are than the kentucky game.

Another winnable road game, though the Gophers won't be favored. It will be a challenge to keep the Wolverines guards from getting to the basket and rotating over to cover 3pt shooters, though the Gophers were better against Illinois. Michigan doesn't force turnovers, rebound offensively, or...

Completely bizarre. Being REALLY REALLY ENTHUSIASTIC!!!! about a wrong call doesn't make it the right call, doing the math to ensure that the scoreboard was right, the obvious blunder on the shot clock reset, the Eddie Hightoweresque forces hand shakes, just strange. I hope they won't be back.

Iowa gets shelled by 20 Fran gets the boot and is escorted off the court by a rent a cop. Good times.

From the excellent blog "The Mikan Drill." Thought some of you might be interested. http://tlorc.wordpress.com/2011/11/28/dayton-takes-advantage-of-minnesotas-poor-pick-and-roll-defense/

Sullinger out with back spasms for up to 5 weeks Well, all those saying teams like OSU woudn't take a big hit without their best player now have something to watch.

http://fromthebarn.org/2011/11/29/how-to-watch-the-post-mbakwe-gophers/ I rarely link to my own articles, but I think it is warrented under the circumstances. Think of it as a survial guide to staying supportive of the team and not getting too depressed about another season that won't live up...

Do us all a favor, and compare what is left of the this year's Gopher team to the notoriously small and speedy and successful Marquette team of a few years ago. What can the Gophers learn from that team if anything? Any chance they can transform into that?

Of course, I'm not expecting that to happen. I just find the difference between how Gopher "fans" handle any type of adversity and how Indiana fans stuck with their team through 8 conference wins in three years. Sure, go ahead and point out the obvious differences in the cultural relevancy of...
