    247 Sports: 2016-17 Gophers basketball preview

    My overall season prediction has the Gophers ending with a 17-15 record (7-11 in the Big Ten). This is a decent improvement over last season, though it still may fall short of fans expectations. I like the Gophers to win at least one of their three big non-conference games (against Arkansas...

    Grayson Allen - Duke Ivan Rabb - Cal Nigel Hayes - Wisconsin Melo Trimble - Maryland Thomas Bryant - Indiana Nigel Hayes was their pick for national player of the year, which some Wisconsin fans seem to think is a little outlandish. https://twitter.com/cdortch/status/765895821107888128

    A Ranking of the Big Ten Programs over the Past Five Years (Inside the Hall)

    Over the last 5 seasons, Minnesota is 10th, ahead of Northwestern, Nebraska, Penn State and Rutgers. http://www.insidethehall.com/2016/05/02/a-ranking-of-the-big-ten-programs-over-the-past-five-years/2/ I like to think of the Gophers as being a cut above those guys, but we're still in the...

    The One and Done Show podcast

    I saw a link to this in a Ryan James tweet yesterday. It's a podcast with him, Marcus Fuller, and one or two other guys about Minnesota basketball, high school, Gophers, and Wolves. There's some Wolves talk at the start, and they get to the Gophers at about 19:30. They go over our 2016...

    Bill Connelly: Has Minnesota improved enough to win the Big Ten West?

    "Luckily, Minnesota seems to have done fine with its next hire. Following four years of Brewster, the Gophers hired Jerry Kill, and while growth has been slow, it has been steady. The plaudits for Kill have been overstated -- Minnesota did finish 8-5 and 37th in F/+ last year, not 11-2 and 15th...

    Jeff Shelman: Why does college basketball give away its best games?

    "Tonight, Minnesota will kick of its men’s basketball season with a game against the University of Louisville. It will be played on a military base in Puerto Rico. It is certainly the most interesting game on the Gophers’ non-conference schedule. Minnesota coach Richard Pitino will coach...

    Quiz: How many Division I basketball programs can you name?

    I found a quiz online where you try to name all 351 Division I basketball programs. It gives you a map with the locations of all the schools pointed out. Once you name a school, it's location on the map disappears. I think it gives you time bonuses for when you name all of the schools in a...
