|

Gopher Basketball Cue up the music to Jay-Z’s 99 Problems please I’ve got 65 questions and ummm, a bitch ain’t one. I’m going to run through each team in the tournament and ask a question of each, some pertaining to the action we’ll be seeing the next three weeks, some pertaining to the general world […] READ MORE


Gophers Fall in 1st Round of Big 10 Tourney

|

Gopher Basketball On the bright side, the Gopher defense held Michigan to a frigid 27% shooting from the field and gave up just 49 points. On the not-so-bright side, the Gophers only scored 40 points themselves and lost 49-40. While some tournament magic would have been nice, I guess this was probably the more fitting […] READ MORE


Gophers Do Not Repeat First Meeting With Purdue

|

Gopher Basketball The biggest Gopher Fan in the world could not find many positives during this 47-66 point loss at Purdue. The U didn’t lead the entire game, and they had season high 28 turnovers compared to Purdue’s 14. On top of this, it really looked like the Gophers collapsed, instead of trying to gain […] READ MORE


Sunday Night Ramble (February 25)

|

Gopher Basketball Well, when enormous snowfalls arrive, you can figure March Madness is right around the corner. After an afternoon spent shovelling my lengthy driveway and sidewalk, I can tell you this-this Ramble will be one of the shorter entries. That’s probably alright anyway, since expounding upon the struggles of our Golden Gophers is just […] READ MORE


Losing Home Season Goes Out on Losing Note to Michigan

|

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


Gophers Again Come Up a Few Minutes Short at Indiana

|

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

Gophers Lose to the #1 Team in the Nation

|

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


Gophers Compete But Fall to Wisconsin Again 75-62

|

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
