Several questions faced the Minnesota Golden Gopher basketball team as they entered Big Ten conference play. How would they handle the relative increased level of competition?

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, [...]

Tubby Smith announced late Thursday night that guard Devoe Joseph has been suspended indefinitely for a situation that will “take more than a few weeks to resolve.” The reason for the suspension is pure speculation at this point, but one fact is certain: the Gophers will be without one of their expected leading scorers for [...]

Shaking Off the Rust: Gophers 78 – Winona State 72
Posted on 09. Nov, 2010 by zipsofakron.
Consider the second of two exhibition games to be just a practice and the near-upset in last night’s matchup between Minnesota and the Division II powerhouse Winona State becomes a bit easier to swallow.

Tubby’s Tip-off: It all begins
Posted on 17. Oct, 2010 by JF.
Another incredibly bizarre dance team performance, introductions from all sides, excessive Colton Iverson hip gyrations, a motorcycle, a four man three point shooting contest, a four man dunk contests, a twenty minute running time scrimmage, and poof it was all over. Maybe I am getting too old to enjoy much that happens after 11 pm [...]

It’s A Wrap
Posted on 21. Mar, 2010 by zipsofakron.
We laughed in disbelief, cried at Ed Hightower’s injustices, scratched our heads, threw pillows and even cheered wildly at times, but the roller coaster that was the 2009-10 season mercifully came to an end in a 65-54 loss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to the Xavier Musketeers. The specifics of the game [...]

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 [...]

Streaks this long don’t end easily
Posted on 28. Feb, 2010 by JF.
A ten point half time lead was surprising. A seemingly insurmountable 19 point lead with just over seven minutes left was shocking. The final score, a 62-60 victory for the Gophers was only unexpected because the Gophers won. Assembly Hall has been a house of horrors for the Gophers for decades. The last win at [...]
