The last time I was so down on a Gopher team's future, I got a nice surprise. After posting a 3-13 Big-10 record in the 2003-04 season, the Gophers lost their top 6 scorers. Kris Humphries turned pro (the last 1st round NBA pick the Gophers have had), Ben Johnson & Mike Bauer graduated, Stan...

I haven't posted much here for the last few years, but now I've finally decided to just delete my bookmark & leave this site. Why? Because those $%*#$ intrusive videos from Sporting News and such make this the most user unfriendly site i have visited on a regular basis. Go Gophers! Goodbye...

That TCS ad at the top of the Basketball forum takes a couple seconds to load on my desk top & often hangs my laptop, while using a Wi-Fi connection, for 10-15 seconds. I no longer even try to access this site on the road. Does anyone else think this is a problem?

Butler (at home) up by 10 against Ohio State (without Turner). Butler is killing them on the boards. Is OSU a worse rebounding team than the Gophers without Turner?

Less than two weeks to midnight madness. Here’s my preseason analysis. <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o></o> CENTER: <o></o> <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><o></o> Ralph Sampson III (Soph. 20.8 minutes / 6.3 points / 4.2 rebounds). Had only slightly better overall stats...

With the Gophers' bottom four scorers (four of the bottom five in minutes played) leaving, there are some huge fannies to replace at the end of the bench. Will they come from the established players like Bostick (the lone returner among the bottom five in minutes), Hoffarber and/or Paul Carter...

The level of talent in the final four hit me in the face. Would even one Gopher crack North Carolina's rotation? Maybe DJ as a defensive sub. I was thinking back to the Gopher's '97 team and came to pretty much the same conclusion. c John Thomas , Trevor Winter or Sampson or Iverson? pf...

I know this is getting a bit off today's topic, but Tubby likens Trevor Mbakwe to Blake Griffin (per Sid's column yesterday): "Marquette is having an excellent year. I can't imagine what they'd be like with him," Smith said. "He's a guy, we really don't have anybody in our program like Trevor...

Three-Point Shooting: Despite an NCAA record for most 3-pointers made in the PSU game without a miss (9-9) the Gophers managed to finish dead last in Big Ten games in 3-point percentage at only .312 (93-298). Exclude the PSU game and the percentage is .291 (84-289). Rebound Margin: Think the...

... to tie the official (non-vacated) Gopher record for season victories at 24. Eight conference games left, at least one Big Ten tourney game and at least one post season game. 6 wins with a minimum of 10 games left to tie school record and an outside chance to exceed it. Not bad for what...

... in Big Ten play through six games: C Ralph Sampson III ... I still don't like him so much at PF, but his recent play in the middle has been better than Colt Iverson (who's been struggling in conference play). F Damian Johnson ... He is the Gopher MVP. F Paul Carter ... Paul may be the...

Although I really like what I've seen from RS3, I don't like him so much at PF. And to compound things, when Tubby does his usual full scale substitution, it's John Williams coming in to play center. That's a one-two punch that the Gophers have had to come back from in the first three...

I've just been eying the Gopher stats through four games. Leading scorer Lawrence Westbrook (13.5) is shooting only 39% and 29% from the arc. Although he provides a scoring threat, he's not a go-to guy, but trying to be is lowering those percentages. Devoe Joseph and Westbrook have the same...
