Leading online home for die-hard Gopher fans since 1996.
Gopher Basketball Share A season that started with much promise has turned into one ending dangerously close to the depths of despair for both the Minnesota Golden Gophers (17-11, 6-10) and the Northwestern Wildcats (16-12, 6-11). On Wednesday, March 2, Senior Night will be celebrated at Welsh-Ryan Arena, as the winningest class in Northwestern history […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball It took the Gophers more than three months to completely wipe away what they accomplished in Puerto Rico, but they did it, or should I say, didn’t do it. The Gophers are no longer part of my NCAA projection, and it will take a miracle of epic proportions to change that. Good luck […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball It’s not over. Is that really a bad thing? What regular season fun was there in 2009 when the Vikings strolled into the playoffs? What a bore this past September was after the Twins had essentially clinched the AL Central. The Gophers deserve our gratitude – they are keeping it interesting. Or at […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball Share 1 may be the loneliest number, but it’s a number Gopher fans would welcome with open arms this weekend at The Barn. One win. One lone, solitary win Saturday afternoon vs. Michigan (16-12, 7-9 Big Ten), another Big Ten squad simply battling to maintain its status on the dreaded NCAA bubble. Whether […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball Share With 17 days until Selection Sunday, I have 18 teams in contention for 8 available at-large bids. It is possible that a team can drop from lock status back to the bubble, but I feel comfortable that the at-large locks will be in the Field of 68 barring a major meltdown down […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball Share The Minnesota Golden Gophers (17-9, 6-8) had a weekend away from competition, but will start things up again Tuesday, February 22, against the visiting Michigan State Spartans (15-11, 7-7). Game time is set for 8pm CT and Gus Johnson will call the game on the Big Ten Network with help from Jim […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball Share With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the Gopher basketball team has reached its point of no return. Refusing to win even one winnable game the likes of Indiana, Illinois or most recently at Penn State which could have garnered them some precious breathing room, the Gophers — surprise, surprise (I […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball The Penn State Nittany Lions (13-11, 6-7) start four seniors, but it appears this group of veterans will fall short of making the NCAA tournament. They still have an outside chance to dance, but with their remaining schedule (road games at Wisconsin, Northwestern and Minnesota and a home game against Ohio State) they […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball The Gophers’ mission tonight is simple. Win in Happy Valley and they move a huge step closer to their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, as well as a rare bye (top-5 finish) in the Big Ten Tournament. Lose and they face the prospect of having to sweep the Michigan schools at The Barn […] READ MORE
Gopher Basketball The Gophers’ home loss to Illinois on Thursday pushed them to the bubble for the first time this season, but a nice 62-45 recovery & “M”beatdown of the Hawkeyes on Sunday in Iowa City has kept them on the right side of the bubble. In fact, the more I look at the Gophers’ […] READ MORE
