Whoa whoa whoa!!!!! WE ARE SO BACK!!!! The Medved hire is official. The press conference is set for Tuesday at Noon. Optimism and excitement are back. I hope to hear a vision for the program from both Coyle and Medved including NIL, type of coaches he wants to bring in on staff, plans to get...

Hired on the same day, at rival programs, by AD's that used to work together, coaches both coached at Drake. Will be an interesting benchmark.

And here we are, back in the post-season!! What used to be automatic, is apparently a cause for celebration around these parts. Lots of intrigue, Ben vs the school he left to attend MN. Ben, probably 24 hours away from losing his job or receiving the most thinly veiled "endorsement" in Gopher...

Back on the road, back in our happy place. Two 7-12 squads battling it out in advance of the BTT. A big decision just days away, every win helps Johnson’s case. 8 BT wins is better than 7. GET ‘ER DONE JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!

The storylines are plentiful. We say goodbye to the Seniors. We potentially have Ben Johnson roaming the sidelines for the last time as the Gopher coach, or we are a week away from the most thinly written "statement of support" from the lamest AD in the Big Ten. Oh, and we welcome the Red...

Well nothing says dumpster fire like losing to Penn State, Northwestern and Nebraska in 3 consecutive games late in the season. Maybe Johnson can fly the team to LA first so they think they are back in SoCal, or maybe Johnson can fly a net in from the hoops at USC or maybe Johnson can skip the...

Gophers are 14-13, Northwestern is 14-13, something has to give!!! What should be a game going for 4 wins in a row, MN shit the bed against an equally bad PSU squad over the weekend and now we face the prospect of losing back to back home games late in the season to PSU and Northwestern. No...

Gophers have won 3/4, all 3 on the road including a win at PSU who we host Saturday. Both wins in LA were big, unexpected and followed the same formula. Wining 4/5 sure would be something but should be expected with PSU at home. Let’s ride this train and see where it takes us. GET ‘ER DONE...

Finally a conference matchup between the program John Wooden wanted to coach for vs his backup program he settled on. The last two times the Gophers played UCLA were both on March 22 (2013 and 1997), both times the Gophers ended the Bruins season in the NCAA Tournament! Like Fleck, Gophers...

It's hard not to imagine what could have been, or what could be, with Muss roaming the sidelines vs his Dad's squad. This may be one of our better chances to beat USC, as Muss won't have them under .500 for long. Dude is perfect for coach for NIL era. Johnson needs to find a way to split the...

Love that he’s finding a role, and glad Finchy is giving him room. Could be a nice part of our future.

Gophs are balling, winning 4/6 but a big task awaits today in our only meeting of the year vs a ranked Illinois squad. It’s a Saturday late afternoon/early evening battle, pre-Super Bowl, let’s hope the Barn is rocking and the students are fired up and ready to go. Rigsby was the hot hand last...

3-8 vs 3-8 in a pivotal game to get into Weakling Wednesday of the Big Ten Tournament. A lot on the line for these two bubble teams. These are the February games that make March legends. Gophers need to keep the crowd out of it, hopefully play Asuma good minutes in the 2nd half and not get a...

A Saturday morning Big Ten battle at The Barn!!! MSU game was a dose of reality, but Washington should be a win, no excuses. Winning 4 of 5 in the Big Ten is nothing to sneeze at. Put the Spartan game behind us and dominate our new Big Ten friends from the opening tip. Let's hope the students...

Gophers have won 3 straight Big Ten games. Michigan State is 8-0 in the Big Ten, something has to give tonight as two of the hottest teams in the Big Ten face off in East Lansing. If Minnesota really wants to send a message to the Big Ten and the nation that this recent run is for real...

We’ve got ourselves a BT winning streak!! Confidence is there, shots are falling, rebounding is better and smiles and high fives are back. If we want to raise some legit eyebrows, let’s beat a ranked Ducks squad! Hopefully The Barn is rocking, students back and the Squad is doing work. GET...

Alright Gopher fans, we got a W and now let's get a winning streak!!! We don't seem to win often in Iowa City in any sport, basketball in particular, but what the heck, we have some mojo now and Fran seems distraught this season. He's definitely not having as much fun has he has had in previous...

Back at The Barn, albeit winless, but we're close to a breakthrough!! Let's get this breakthrough tonight. Maryland was respectable, but respectable isn't winning. Johnson needs the W so badly. Coyle will be there in non-maroon and gold as he always is, just sitting and sending fuming texts to...

First half was great at uw, second half was a fn disaster. At this point the goal really is to keep a road Big Ten game within 10-12, as sad as that is at this point. Just awful. But maybe, just maybe, for once we play well for 40 minutes and win a game. Just once. GET 'ER DONE...

I'm still not sure what happened last game. I left in The Barn just shaking my head not sure what I had just witnessed. I'm long past embracing the suck, it sucks embracing it for so long. And tonight we face the best free throw shooting team in the nation. Would be nice if Dawson cared again...
