Will we remember last night's game as the turning point for the Gopher’s return to prominence? Only if we make the tournament.
Why would any self respecting Minnesota kid go to Wisconsin when they can play for Tubby. Did you hear the door shut on the boarders last night?
How long before the Williams arena ticket becomes the most coveted in town?
Did anyone else get the impression during the game from the look on fans faces, when the gophers were up early in the game and down during the middle, that the Wisconsin fans hadn’t even contemplated their team could lose?
That being said, did any of us think the Gophers could pull out a win when they picked up their 7th team foul with 8:53 left in the game and the refs were firmly suctioned to Bo’s backside.
To the jerk Wisconsin fan that sat behind my son and I at Williams arena during the loss to Wisconsin last year, I’ll take the high road but I’d give you a wink if I saw you.
Is there any better confidence boost for a young team than to win in one of the toughest arenas in the country?
Do you now believe this team is for real or (since you’re a true Minnesota sports fan and have been burned so many times) do you feel yourself trying very hard to manage your excitement?
From how far did Paul Carter come to block that lay-up? All I know is the Wisconsin player was about 12 feet from the basket when he caught it and Carter was still on the other side of the half court line. Incredible!
Keep in mind we won that game even though our most consistent player (Nolan) probably had his worst game as a Gopher.
I heard Tom Izzo make a comment about his 2000 Championship team. He said what made that team so great was that it was multi dimensional and could play any kind of game (power, running, etc) depending on the team they were playing. When our big guys develop, could that be the Gophers?
One game at a time – beat Northwestern!
