    Minnesota 2025-2026

    Perception is probably coming from those randoms who complain that she shoots too much (even though Dawn P has mentioned a few times that they want her to look for her shots) she dribbles too much (more than 3 dribbles disrupts the flow of the offense, as opposed to setting up more options as...

    Do we think at this point, or even at the point of her very first practice with the Gophers, Coach P cares if GG was ranked 98th or 198th? I mean, most of us don't even remember and once she was in our gym, it was pointless to care.

    Recruiting

    Just saying, that as a coach, once I have them in the gym and working out with my team, it doesn't matter to me if or where they are ranked by national services. I know fans care, but fans don't have to coach them, I do. Doesn't matter if they were ranked in the top 50 or ranked 250. What...

    Recruiting

    Once we have them committed of on our team, does it really matter where they are rated? I mean, if our coaching staff wanted them and got them in house, who cares where other people rank them?

    Arizona’s Rocky Gronkstone ejected from scrimmage

    Put a Arizona football legend in a funny wig, add him to the team as a last minute transfer, and he'll eventually go off. :) All part of a fun show for the fans.

    Executives are inching closer to agreement to expand NCAA tournament to 76 teams with a 12-game “opening round” played at two sites starting in 26-27

    Here's the idea. Each team plays one or 2 exhibition games against a D-2 team, then the NCAA tournament starts on Nov. 10. Every single D-1 team is in it. 2 games per week. You have to lose twice (wait, better make it 3 times) to be eliminated (Unless you're one of the 20 or so TV-Friendly...

    All Things Class of 2026 Minnesota Gophers Basketball Recruiting Thread

    Watching highlights, two things jumped out. Seems effective offensively in traffic. Moves his feet on defense. Couple of things you need to be able to do in the college game. Seems pretty athletic and at 240, looks like he probably can add a little more weight with-out losing agility.

    Evidently he’s way more of a big deal than we want to admit.

    I'm 69 years old and never would have guessed who the actor standing beside John Wayne was with-out your post. Gotta admit, never heard of the actor Ben Johnson until just now. I'm totally aware of Ben Johnson the football coach and Ben Johnson the sprinter. Ben Johnson, the cowboy actor...

    Lu'Cye Patterson reveals NIL situation with the Gophers from last season

    Between the "You knows" and the interviewer having trouble efficiently setting up, then asking a direct question, this interview went about 5 to 10 minutes longer than it needed to. I give L.P. a bit of a pass because he's not a professional, but the interviewer doesn't need to ramble like...

    Palm Springs pre-season tournament

    So now that I live in Tucson, I was thinking of making the 6 or so hour hop over to watch the Gophers play. Curious if anybody has seen anything about exact game times, prices and a Gopher friendly hotel in the area that week-end. Would rather make arrangements too early than too late. Thanks

    Yep. I realize that pretty much everything out there is more about money than about serving customers and customer satisfaction.

    The Basketball Tournament

    Not a fan of watching Old-Timers games, so no, I wouldn't watch.

    Although it's Division 2, the CCAA in California generally had 6 games on Thursdays and 6 games on Saturday's. Men's/women's double-headers. For awhile it was a CCAA network. Last year it was Flo Network. Pay a monthly fee and you could choose between which games you wanted to watch...

    Just give me all the games on one platform. Don't make me chase around several platforms to find the game I want to watch. Don't make me sign up for 4-5 free trials and then have to remember to cancel them. I don't care what platform it is, just give me a "all games on one platform" option...

    Still No Statement from Ben Johnson

    Can't believe I'm commenting on this, but here goes. Maybe he did make a statement to suits in the big office on his exit interview, thanking them for the opportunity and such. And the suits in the big office didn't feel the need to publicize it, possible at his request. Maybe not. Reminds...

    Big Ten Basketball: Way-too-early Big Ten Power Rankings entering 2025-26 season (16. Minnesota)

    I love making sports predictions because if I happen to guess anything close to what turns out happening, I can brag about how much I know about sports. If, 8 months from now it turns out I was way off-base, I can just hope everybody forgets that what I said because it was so long ago. BTW, I...

    you have a limited ability to groom them into playing "your way." With the changes in college hoops over the past couple of years, it seems that instead of "playing right to please the coach and earn playing time", it's more like "coaching right to please the player and get him to stay another...

    2 college basketball teams are out-spending the field in men’s transfer portal, and the numbers are wild

    I still maintain he should go by Pope Bobby the 1st. Why be the 14th when you have a shot at being the first?
