Per Pat:
Eric Musselman, 61, was there for the start of Gophers hoops fever, spinning basketballs on the side of the court during the pregame show as an 8-year-old son of the coach. And now on Friday, Jan. 9, he will be coaching a game for the first time in the Barn when his Southern Cal Trojans take on Niko Medved’s surprising Gophers in front of a crowd that might reach 10,000.
“In this new 18-team Big Ten, we’re the first West Coast team to start the main portion of the conference schedule with three road games in the other time zones,” Musselman said this week. “We were at Michigan and Michigan State, and now we have the Gophers, really playing well for Niko.”
“I was at Arizona State and LSU as an assistant for three years, and this is my 12th season as a head coach in college, but it’s the first time I’ve brought a team to Williams Arena,” Musselman said. “There aren’t many like it.”
Go Gophers!!
