Drake won their first round (quarterfinal) game today against Southern Illinois. 70-53 in St. Louis ("Arch Madness"). Could be seeing the next Gopher Coach on their bench.
I do not understand some of the posters on this Board. Let's win both Wisconsin and Rutgers. That would give us a 9-11, 17-14 season, which is so far far beyond what any of us thought was possible after North Texas.
Like some others, I fell asleep. UCLA was up by 6. Thought - solid effort, Gophers, but a bridge too far. Woke up at 12:30, checked for final score, went "WTH!" Awesome feeling. Other than sleeping through it.
Interesting conjecture re/ relegation. So in a thought experiment, Washington, PSU, and maybe the Gophers get relegated, replaced by say Drake, Illinois State, Bradley?
