Single-plays should benefit Gophers in Pitino’s first season
Posted on 14. May, 2013 by JF.
The Big Ten’s single-play match-ups for the 2013-2o14 season leaked today, and the Golden Gophers should benefit from their schedule. They didn’t quite win the lottery like Wisconsin did (really, playing Michigan State and Ohio State only once, and both games at home). However, they do play some very good teams only once and get [...]

Breaking down the schedule and resetting expectations.
Posted on 19. Jan, 2013 by JF.
After five Big Ten games, four of which were against ranked teams and two against teams ranked number five, the Golden Gophers finally have a much deserved break. With no game this weekend, there is no better time to take a closer look at the season so far, how the team has performed compared to our pre-season expectations, and how things might play out the rest of the way.

2012-2013 schedule preview: the bonus wins.
Posted on 23. Oct, 2012 by JF.
The last set of games in our schedule preview hopefully will not determine if the Golden Gophers make the NCAA tournament, but will likely go a long way in determining how far they go in the NCAA tournament. If they win all the games in the must-win and should-win categories, they won’t be on the [...]

2012-2013 schedule preview: The should wins.
Posted on 10. Oct, 2012 by JF.
Once upon a time, before schedules became riddled with directional-state universities and before San Diego State was simultaneously in the Big East and the Big West, appearing in the NCAA tournament was a true feat. Only conference champions made the tournament, and second place teams, even if they were the second best team in the [...]

Breaking down the schedule: The must-wins.
Posted on 23. Sep, 2012 by JF.
Today we begin our slightly too early, slightly too in-depth look at the 2012-2013 Golden Gopher basketball schedule. While a top four finish in the Big Ten is more likely than at any point during the Tubby Smith era, given the events of the last few years, I have a somewhat more modest goal for [...]

Big Ten releases Gold Gophers conference schedule
Posted on 30. Aug, 2012 by JF.
This morning the Big Ten announced the 2012-2013 conference schedule. Dates, times and TV schedules will come later, but for now, there is plenty to get excited about. We’ll have much more on this later tonight. But first thoughts have to be the chaos that should envelope The Barn on New Year’s Eve, and the [...]

2011-12 Non-Conference Schedule Overview
Posted on 09. Oct, 2011 by zipsofakron.
Let’s play a little Password: Twins … Vikings … Timberwolves … Wild … Gopher football. What’s the answer? Well, there are plenty of adjectives that could link each of those five teams together — underachieving, embarrassing, pathetic, vomit-inducing. You get the idea. However, one significant omission from that list was none other than the Gopher [...]

Your 2010-2011 Golden Gopher Basketball Schedule
Posted on 26. Aug, 2010 by JF.
While the blogtacular summer vacation isn’t quite over (unlike some schools poor kids, I am waiting until after Labor Day “get to work”) the Gopher basketball schedule has been released and it can’t go without comment. Things kick off as they always seem to, with a barrage of mid to low majors parading through The [...]

Gopher Non-Con Schedule Announced
Posted on 07. Aug, 2010 by zipsofakron.
The University finally announced its 2010-2011 non-conference schedule, showing a movement towards bringing higher-quality opponents to the Barn, something it has been averse to in past years. Now, it’s not like the team has scheduled games with anybody like Kansas or Connecticut, but the overall quality (read: RPI) of teams has definitely improved from last [...]

Two Big Ten pieces added to schedule puzzle
Posted on 23. Jul, 2009 by JF.
Today the Big Ten announced the “one game” match-ups for the 2009-2010 basketball season. Due to 11 Big Ten teams and 18 conference games, there are always two teams that each Big Ten teams plays only once. This upcoming season, Purdue and Iowa face the Gophers twice. For the next two years, Wisconsin and Illinois [...]

Gophers vs. Miami on ESPN U
Posted on 15. Jul, 2009 by JF.
The exact game time is still up in the air, but the ACC-Big Ten Challenge TV schedule is out. You should be able to watch too. The barriers to seeing the Gophers have continued to fall this offseason. At about this time last year we learned that the Big Ten Network would be available by [...]

Gophers to play Butler in first round of 76 classic
Posted on 09. Jul, 2009 by JF.
Instead of facing former coach Dan Monson in the first round of the 76 classic, the Gophers get their toughest non-conference opponent of the season, so far at least. The Butler Bulldogs, one of the top mid-major programs in the country, finished last season with a 26-6 record including a win over Xavier and a [...]

Morgan State added to schedule
Posted on 24. Jun, 2009 by JF.
No big names yet, but slowly but surely the 2009-2010 schedule is filling in for the Gophers. The latest “confirmed” opponent is Morgan State, according to Jeff Goodman. The Bears join St. Joe’s and Stephen F. Austin on the schedule. Morgan State isn’t anywhere close to a “name” program, though they can not be taken [...]
