Big Ten Tournament Preview: The Top Five
Posted on 10. Mar, 2011 by JF.
Well, the Gophers sure went out with a whimper. There won’t be any miracle run in the Big Ten Tournament, and there probably won’t be a trip to the NIT either. Post-season basketball is nice and all, but the Gopher season realistically ended when they lost at Indiana, and the team has acted like they were waiting for [...]

Big Ten Tournament Preview: The Bottom Six
Posted on 09. Mar, 2011 by JF.
With Gopher basketball mired in meaningless land with the late season collapse, it will take a miracle, the likes of which has never happened for any team in Minnesota, to make the NCAA tournament. Knowing that the season has spun hopelessly out of control shouldn’t take away from the great basketball that takes place during [...]

What a weekend!

The reaction: “We all jumped together,” point guard Devoe Joseph said. “I think we might have damaged the couch in there.” Damaged would be putting it mildly. “We did break the couch,” shooting guard Lawrence Westbrook confirmed. “We were excited to see our name.” “I honestly had no clue,” said Joseph, who made the All-Tournament [...]

Are you kidding me? Gophers win!
Posted on 12. Mar, 2010 by JF.
Let me try this, but don’t expect much in the way of complete sentences or proper punctuation. We are officially in uncharted territory and I am as close to being at a loss for words as possible. It is a very good thing this is in writing, the facial cramp resulting from a giant smile [...]

A chance to dance, but it will take two to tango
Posted on 10. Mar, 2010 by JF.
Last year I wrote that March is the season of redemption. This year, the Gophers need some redemption and then some. Even though they finished with the same Big Ten record and higher in the conference standings, they find themselves in a much worse position in terms of reaching the NCAA tournament. Coming into this [...]

Gophers defeat Northwestern 66-53: As it happened
Posted on 12. Mar, 2009 by JF.
Like just about everyone else, I spent a good part of the lunch hour listening to the game on the radio while also trying to follow it on line. Thankfully, the Big Ten Network decided to replay the game, giving me a chance to see what happened without the Gopher radio announcers constantly badgering the [...]

Golden Gophers vs. Northwestern Wildcats 11:00 am (CST) at Conseco Field House (Indianapolis, Indiana) Radio: WCCO 830 AM TV: BTN The Bubble, above all else, if a very fair thing.

Blake or Devoe: Who takes the final shot next year?
Posted on 16. Mar, 2008 by JF.
Blake of course, right? But two options are better than one. Good video: horrible, typical, youtube audio. Bad video: better audio with no horrible music. Looks like Devoe can be clutch in a championship game too. And yes, the Gophers lost to Illinois for the 20th straight time. Not all that suprising, or worth writing [...]

Pat Forde on “The Shot”
Posted on 15. Mar, 2008 by JF.
Here. INDIANAPOLIS — Turns out Blake Hoffarber can make history standing up, too. The new undisputed Mr. Big Shot of March made himself a candidate for a second career ESPY late Friday night in Conseco Field House, at age 19. The Minnesota freshman won an ESPY in 2005 for hitting a game-tying shot from his [...]

The Hoffarber Miracle: Part 2
Posted on 14. Mar, 2008 by JF.
I’ve watched more Gopher basketball games than I can count, sitting in The Barn when it was all bench seats, squashed between people 10 times my size, trying to see through small gaps between the people in front of me, following the game more by sound than by sight, because when you are 5 years [...]

Gophers sqeak by Cat’s, face Hoosiers next
Posted on 13. Mar, 2008 by JF.
From what I saw of this afternoon’s win over Northwestern, the Gophers dominated. Lawrence Westbrook aggressively pushed the ball up the court, got to the free throw line, hit a plethora and hit a plethora of mid-range jumpers. Dan Coleman played solidly on both ends of the court and made his free throws. As a [...]
