Gopher Basketball There isn’t much worse than losing 20 games in a season (especially since the Gophers will wind up losing 21 or 22), but one thing I can think of is having a losing record at home. I never thought I’d see the day, but Saturday’s 62-51 loss to Michigan put the Gophers below […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball In what has become a common pattern recently, the Gophers hung close with Indiana for much of the game Wednesday night in Bloomington but weren’t able to stay in it for a full 40 minutes. Minnesota was within 2 with 9 minutes remaining, but the Hoosiers then pulled away for a comfortable 71-59 […] READ MORE

Gopher Basketball Well, they’re technically not #1 yet, but they most likely will be tomorrow. There’s really no shame in losing to the best 67-85. The Gophers came out fired up and ready to play Ohio State today to a large crowd of over 13,000 at The Barn. They really put their best foot forward […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball While the result was unfortunately another loss to Wisconsin, the game itself was quite different this time. While most Gopher fans probably entered The Barn with a hopeless attitude, for the first 30+ minutes just about all of them were cheering loudly and probably thinking the Gophers had a chance to pull a […] READ MORE

Gopher Basketball Coach Molinari finally found to get some scoring production from the Gopher bench”¦by filling it with starters. Dan Coleman and Lawrence McKenzie both came off the bench, and they both wound up leading the team with 18 points apiece. Coleman’s shot was a little off for much of the game (he was 7 […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball Oh, how long we’ve waited to see the Gopher offense shoot 63% from the field and score 78 points. I didn’t think the day would come again this season. And I definitely didn’t think that it could come and yet still result in a 13-point loss. But the Hawkeyes shot the ball well […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball I’m going to use this wretchedly cold weekend as a metaphor for the Gophers men’s basketball program. This weekend’s cold front was like a slap in the face, and we understand there’s still a bit of winter to endure. But we can also see the days getting longer, there’s some sunlight that slips […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball Winning on the road is very tough to do in the Big Ten. When you factor in that the Gophers have lost 16 consecutive games against the Illini and suffered a 20 minute drought in which they only made two field goals, the stars weren’t aligned Saturday night at Assembly Hall for Minnesota.
