Bubble burst(ing) Michigan 71 – Gophers 63
Posted on 12. Feb, 2010 by zipsofakron.
I came into yesterday’s game with above-average expectations for a team that, for the most part, has underachieved all season. They’d been up and down for the better part of the last month but were coming off a stretch where they had won two of three and seemed to have been gaining some momentum after [...]

Turnaround Time: Gophers 65 – Northwestern 61
Posted on 27. Jan, 2010 by zipsofakron.
The Gophers came into their contest against Northwestern sitting squarely on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament and desperately in need of stopping a three-game slide that had included meltdowns and upsets. A loss against Northwestern would have meant an almost insurmountable road to the Big Dance and another “should’ve” miss that has plagued the [...]

So Close: Minnesota 64 – Michigan State 65
Posted on 24. Jan, 2010 by JF.
A day later and I am still shaking my head. The Gophers had the perfect opportunity to get their season on track with a much needed win over #6 Michigan State, but let a 13 point lead slowly slip away, and eventually lost by one point. The Gophers did just about everything they needed to [...]

Wanted: New Starting PG
Posted on 21. Jan, 2010 by zipsofakron.
As if the hits wouldn’t stop coming for Minnesota, it’s starting to look like a distinct possibility that Al Nolen could be lost for the rest of the season due to academic ineligibility. The full story is still coming together, and it’s possible that he might find himself off the hook due to an NCAA [...]

Quick Thoughts: Gophers 76 Utah Valley 51
Posted on 19. Nov, 2009 by JF.
To be expanded upon at a later time… Lawrence Westbrook is to the Gophers’ offense what Damian Johnson is to the defense. Westbrook was out with food poisoning, and the Gopher offense was out of it. Bold prediction: Rodney Williams will be the Big Ten freshman of the year. The little kid basketball half-time scrimmage [...]

Game 2 Review: A slow start, and then a slaughter
Posted on 17. Nov, 2009 by JF.
I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to being a bit nervous throughout most of the first half of the Gophers 82-42 win over the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks. Over the weekend Iowa lost to Southland Conference also-ran UT-San Antonio, and for a while at least it appeared that the Lumberjacks had an upset on [...]

The threes finally fall as the Gophers win again
Posted on 10. Nov, 2009 by JF.
Another exhibition game, another big win, and another positive development that may only be result of an exhibition game. After last season’s atrocious three-point shooting, the Gophers may have broken out of their funk last night during their 98-49 victory over the Minnesota-Moorhead Dragons. Last year the Gophers made less than 33% of their three [...]

Generous Gophers give Nittany Lions Valentine’s Day gift
Posted on 15. Feb, 2009 by JF.
Maybe you have seen a game like this before. The Gophers get out to a dreadful start that is matched by a just as pathetic effort by their opponents. The Gophers fall behind on a momentum swinging buzzer beater at the end of the first half. Turnovers, poor decisions, and embarrassing mistakes, give their opponents [...]
