Gopher Basketball It was a simple formula tonight. The more aggressive team won. The better prepared team won. The better defensive team won. The more confident team won. And quite simply, the better team won. And for the Minnesota Gophers, this formula was enough for a dominating 71-54 win at Michigan. The Gophers came out […] READ MORE
Gopher Football In a growing list, Gopher senior Ukee Dozier became another member of the secondary to turn in a solid season and position himself to get drafted. Ukee led the Big Ten with 15 pass breakups and chipped in 3 interceptions to land All-Big Ten first team honors from the media. Unfortunately, Ukee was […] READ MORE

Gopher Basketball Oh, what could have been. The final score does not accurately depict how many chances the Gophers had in this game. They forced the Spartans into committing 21 turnovers.
