..started tonight! Best coached game I have seen here (by a Gopher coach) in years. - When they were ahead late in the game- no stalling. They kept their foot on the pedal and drove to the bucket. - When they were pressed they were aware who was where on the court and they passed out of it -in...

Watching last night's game was discouraging and I found myself asking the question- how do you build something in this era? So, today I took a look at the roster Niko put together. It is interesting that he went after a bunch of guys with a few years left- which is encouraging. Notables with a...

With this NIL landscape, at this University, it just seems like 6 to 8 wins is where we are going to be. Fleck is a solid coach, maybe as good as we will get. The talent gap between us and OSU or Oregon or Michigan and even Iowa is just massive. Basketball I am more hopeful because you only need...

If anyone has seen information on how these two programs will work together or affect each other - I would love to see it. It sounds like the final ruling on the House Settlement (revenue sharing) will be April 7th. So schools cannot promise (can they?) revenue sharing money to their athletes or...

Not yours, not mine, but what is going to be the bar Ben has to cross in Big Ten wins to get Coyle to keep him? I am guessing 7 or 8 wins and he convinces Coyle to stay the course. To get to 8- he would have to go 5-6 the rest of the way and he could claim he went 8-6 down the stretch.

Let's get Ken in a Gopher uniform!! We need a scoring wing to finish the roster!

We fans think in terms of playing a sport to win and it is a priority for our favorite team to do so. Here’s a question: What if there is no plan for winning in major sports at the U? What if the higher minds actually see sports as drain on academic goals? What if diversity, equity and...

I wanted Pride or Brown or both as they would have really shored up the roster and guaranteed depth at the guard position. I still think we will get one or two guards that can play. However, I think that the roster we have, while dangerously thin at the guard position, is not too bad...

I need a little optimism today. I have been a big Henley guy...but he's gone. Not counting Battle and Cooper, we still have some nice pieces! Payne (becomes a star) Garcia/Fox (Garcia -already an upper tier forward) JOJ/Ihnen (JOJ is getting better fast- has ability) Carrington/Betts...

Can it be done anymore when you are starting at the bottom? I am not so sure it can. I think you have to get players that provide a jolt of success in order to gain momentum. Wisconsin, MSU and Purdue can go with development because they have a proven track record so players know that if they do...

This kid has amazed me this year. It hasn't mattered how they defend him, he has still consistently gotten it done. He has become a terrific shooter and really solid ball handler who has length. I never thought I would say this, but is there a chance that he gets some run with an NBA team at...

This is the young man that makes the fall class special. He needs his own thread. Cmon Jayden! Be the part of something special. We need the floor general! Now somebody please give some positive news on this key recruit!

ESPN has a section on how rosters are being assembled for each conference. Below is the status of the rosters for each Big Ten school. E/R= expected to return New= new recruits/transfers Open = open spots left PR= last year team members in limbo- could possibly return...

Both Gach is, to me, an enigma on this squad. The kid has so much athleticism and potential to be a defensive star, yet I often don't notice him when he is out there. He seems to depend on the ball being in his hands to be a factor in the offense...likes to make his own plays off the dribble...

Can the players utilize the practice facility for individual workouts during this time? I realize that scrimmaging or even sharing basketballs is off limits but can the players go and lift weights and work on individual skills?
