per WCCO:
The Gophers men’s basketball team stayed hot Thursday night, winning their eighth consecutive Big Ten game. It was their 23rd win of the season.
It’s even more impressive when you consider that they finished last in the Big Ten a year ago. They will play in the NCAA tournament for the first time in four years.
“It’s great! We’re going straight to the Final Four,” fan Nathan Studanski said. “We’re going to win it all in Phoenix.”
It’s funny how low expectations at the beginning of a basketball season can quickly change to thoughts of a deep run at the tournament. Even if the predictors are getting ahead of themselves, the energy at Williams Arena is unmistakable.
Gopher fans have good reason to wave their towels in March. They went from eight wins a year ago, to more than 20 and counting. It’s helped breathe new life into “The Barn,” especially from those in the Barnyard student section like senior Emily Anger.
“It’s crazy,” she said. “It’s so nice having my senior year be one where we actually have success.”
