Senior Day 2011: The Locals
Posted on 05. Mar, 2011 by JF.
This season has obviously been disappointing, but it pales in comparison to the tumultuous 2006-2007 season. No one expected the Gophers to have a good season, making the NIT would have been an accomplishment. But no one predicted that fans would completely give up on the program, Dan Monson would be fired before the Big [...]

Looking back at the non-conference season and forward to the Big Ten
Posted on 26. Dec, 2010 by JF.
The Gophers will enter Big Ten play with an 11-1 record, and will likely enter Big Ten play as the second highest ranked Big Ten team after beating South Dakota State on Christmas Eve Eve. It is obviously a little late for the traditional write-up, thanks to the hectic nature of the holiday season. Instead, [...]

Come back, Al!
Posted on 06. Dec, 2010 by zipsofakron.
I’ll say it as bluntly as possible: The Gophers are lucky that they’re playing the easiest part of their schedule now while Al Nolen is on the shelf rather than three weeks from now. Before this season there was a debate raging over whether Devoe Joseph or Al Nolen should handle the starting point guard [...]

The First Five Games: Taking Stock
Posted on 22. Nov, 2010 by zipsofakron.
Time to exhale. After a whirlwind opening to the 2010-11 season, the Gophers (#15 in the AP Poll!) have a couple days off before resuming their non-conference schedule against North Dakota State, which provides us an opportunity to sit back and analyze exactly what we have in the current squad. While it wasn’t crazy to [...]

A surreal night in North Carolina
Posted on 20. Nov, 2010 by JF.
It is with profound sadness that I write that there will be no game review for Minnesota’s monumental win over the North Carolina Tar Heels. There may one be in a few days, but as of now I have not seen the game. In a surreal turn of events, I found myself in the front [...]

Gophers hang tough, top Siena 76-69
Posted on 15. Nov, 2010 by zipsofakron.
Minnesota appeared to have no answer against the quick-hitting Siena Saints offense through much of the first half, but was able to turn the tables down the stretch to take home a thrilling 76-69 victory to improve to 2-0. Stymied by basket after basket from Siena’s Clarence Jackson, who scored a game high 29 points, [...]
