Gopher Basketball * I’ve been a sometimes critic of Adam Boone’s play over the course of his time at the “U”, but his stretch of play as he finishes off his college career I hope will silence his critics and take Adam for what he was-a limited player who might not have been Big-10 caliber, […] READ MORE

Gopher Basketball Unfortunately the Badger basketball team is not like the Badger hockey team. Instead of folding every year heading into March like the Badger hockey team, its basketball program seems to gain strength heading into the postseason, and the program understands its more important to play well in February and March as opposed to […] READ MORE

Gopher Basketball Oh, the drama that is being a Gopher Basketball fan (and writer). You laugh, you cry; you cry, you laugh. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster lately. Thankfully, we’re all back on a high after Minnesota’s convincing win over #18 Iowa Saturday afternoon at The Barn. The Gophers turned in their third consecutive very […] READ MORE

Gopher Basketball * It was a baffling week to be a Gophers fan.

Gopher Basketball Now that’s how you play basketball. The Gophers played a near-flawless game (at least flawless in the effort department) against #11 Michigan State Saturday and led almost the entire way. Five Gophers scored in double figures in a true team effort, and the fans in The Barn responded with great energy throughout. This […] READ MORE

Gopher Basketball There is good news and there is bad news following the ugly loss on Saturday. The good news is the Gophers only have to wait a couple of days to try to get back on track and avenge the Northwestern loss. To do it against rival Wisconsin only makes it that much better […] READ MORE

Gopher Basketball Wow. That was brutal. Outside of a late charge that was basically too late, Minnesota was completely dominated by Northwestern Saturday afternoon at The Barn. The Wildcats were sharper on offense and immensely better on defense, and the Gophers were never able to get anything going. There are plenty of numbers to tell […] READ MORE
